\u201cI think that’s really driving me. I was so close, I was two sets away. I guess that’s what’s driving me.\u201d And there is one Major tournament in particular that the 28-year-old wants to win.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWimbledon’s the biggest tournament in the world – I think tennis fans that don’t know tennis know what Wimbledon is. It’s just got that prestige. It’s like the pinnacle of tennis to me. If you win Wimbledon, no one can kind of say anything to you almost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having reached the final at the All England Club already, Kyrgios has marked Wimbledon on his card and feels as though he has unfinished business at the tournament. \u201cThat would be the one that has a little asterisk on it and that’s the one I will put all my focus and diligence into,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
