don’t think so he is not interested in actually winning he‘s an entertainer, consistenty winning titles is something he does not have the emotional stamina to do.
Nick will never change, he only wants to entertain the crowd, have some fun while earning some money. It’s why the crowds love to watch him. He doesn’t care about winning grand slams and tournaments. There’s enough tennis players on tour who take the sport very very seriously, so there’s room for someone like Nick. People need to get over it and realize that’s just who Nick is as a player and person.
He has a talent he can make bank off of but he doesn't have the work ethic or desire to maximize it. He just wants to live comfortably and make more than he would at a 9/5 and see the whole world while doing it. I mean look at Andy Murray. Becoming number 1 cost him his hip. Nick could burn from both ends too if he wanted to, but he doesn't care about being the best.
@@buffgarfield3231 ik and tbh he's probably really having the most fun rn I think everyone knows if he tried he could win one slam at least but he would probably have to stop entertaining and going as much
With Nick, its self sabotage. He pretends he doesn't care so that if he loses he can pretend it's because he doesn't have a coach and take it seriously. It's a means of self protection actually, because if he takes it seriously and loses, he can't handle it so this way he has an excuse if he loses.

I only got to see these highlights so a big thank you for posting this. The chemistry & confidence between Nick & Thanassi is a joy to watch. I have heard rumors this may be Nick’s last tournament due to him not enjoying tennis any more. Sure doesn’t look like that here.

It would be a great loss to tennis but without a doubt, he will be electric & successful in whatever he chooses to pursue .
They could but these sort of matchups with actually capable singles players make it much more entertaining. Mostly because of winners that the top doubles teams don’t get much
This is where Nick shines and is in his element, as entertainer and member of a team, and as flashy shotmaker with speed and any shot in the book. He'll raise the profile of doubles and get his team victories in the process, so win-win, and win!

Doubles players don’t get paid nearly as much as singles players , why should doubles players be better?
