Nick Kyrgios makes stunning locker room admission about Australian Open finalist Daniil Medvedev in podcast debut with Gordon Ramsay

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has made a brutal confession about Australian Open finalist Daniil Medvedev to celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

The injured star launched the first episode of his new series Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios this week, hosting the show and interviewing Ramsay.

Kyrgios opened the show by saying it was about “celebrating those who have the courage to disrupt the norm.”

“In each episode, we sit down with game changers who aren’t afraid to shake things up,” he continued.

While the debut episode mainly featured Kyrgios and Ramsay gushing about their respective careers, there was a revealing moment involving Medvedev.

Medvedev will hunt for his second major title on Sunday against rising Italian superstar Jannik Sinner, who ended super Serb Novak Djokovic’s perfect 10-for-10 semi-final record at Melbourne Park with an impressive four-set victory earlier on Friday.

Kyrgios spoke about his fourth-round victory over the Russian at the 2022 US Open, and outlined a moment between the two that shocked Ramsay.

‘The nice thing about tennis is that everyone thinks it’s an individual thing, right?’ Kyrgios said.

“But then it’s like… all the athletes shower together. We eat together. So we see these people minutes before we walk to the arena, which is the craziest thing in sports.

‘As usual (in sports you have) separate changing rooms. You don’t see this person all day. You’re trying to kill this person.

“So, for example, last year at the US Open, Medvedev and I were about to go there and we’re just sitting together in the locker room watching the end of the previous match and we’re just getting our stuff together and then we’re going to play . .’

“Wow, I didn’t know that,” Ramsay replied, before Kyrgios continued.

“And then we just come back into the locker room, undress, shower and then we’re the only two people in the locker room and I have to see this person all day.

“So it’s not a team environment, (but) it feels like you’re doing the same thing because it’s like I just played this guy in front of millions of people for hundreds and thousands of dollars and now you have to shower next to him.”

“I never knew that,” Ramsay replies. ‘I always thought: you see each other for the first time (on the track and have a) separate dressing room.’

Medvedev looked on the verge of a straight-sets exit when he dropped the first two sets of the nighttime semi-final at Rod Laver Arena.

But the 27-year-old held on to win the next two sets in tiebreaks as Zverev, complaining of illness, began to wilt and the Russian dominated the decider to win 5-7 3-6 7-6 (7) won. -4) 7-6 (7-5) 6-3.

“I’ve never had it this tough before and I’m happy with it,” Medvedev said.

‘Before, my statistics in five-set matches were not good.

‘Physically and mentally it is tough, five sets.

‘Often (in the past) in the fifth I wasn’t strong enough.

“So I’m happy.”
