Andre Agassi supposes we're taking care of Nick Kyrgios the wrong way
TENNIS legend Andre Agassi says Nick Kyrgios' next mentor must acknowledge the fluctuating youthful star warts and all and dive profound into his tormented soul.
Agassi can identify with Kyrgios' battles with mental devils and concedes he persevered through his own "long, difficult process" before developing as one of the diversion's record-breaking greats.
Commending Kyrgios as a player with "as much ability as perhaps you would ever observe on a tennis court", Agassi on Saturday said the vexed adolescent should have been cherished instead of nagged.
"You just never realize what excursion somebody's been through," Agassi told AAP from Las Vegas.
"Has he ever truly had some individual who endeavors to comprehend him? Has he ever, ever truly felt that he's sufficiently commendable to be thought about?
"What is his battle and what is his tension and what does he feel? Has anyone done anything aside from bark at him about what he ought to be as opposed to understanding it's identity that he is?
"Those straightforward human engagements make a dynamic where you either gain regard or you don't.
"I can genuinely say from a separation if Nick Kyrgios doesn't regard you, this is on the grounds that you haven't earned it or this is on the grounds that he doesn't regard himself."
Agassi, tennis' unique revolt without a cause, said the planning wasn't right for him to mentor Kyrgios.
Yet, the eight-time great pummel champ proposed his own life guide — quality and molding master Gil Reyes — might will to listen attentively to Kyrgios.
"I don't believe anyone will drop knowledge on Nick that progressions the direction of some person's life," Agassi said in the wake of advancing his part as Lavazza Global Ambassador.
"Shockingly life must be the best educator. Life can strip us, it can humble us and it's just at those focuses that we scan for something more profound, of more esteem.
"When you're in that place, obviously I think a man like Gil can be a mind boggling resource.
"Gil set the stage for me to listen (my mentor) Brad Gilbert. I don't know whether I would have reacted to Brad on the off chance that I didn't experience a timeframe of trusting that life can be and ought to appear as something else."
Agassi suspects Kyrgios — like the American himself right off the bat in his profession — may battle a dread of disappointment, which could trigger his mental emergencies and conflicts with officialdom.
"I was some person who minded more than I depicted in light of the fact that it was my safeguard," Agassi said. "It was my method for concealing myself, from myself, and I expected to deal with that through a long, difficult process."
Agassi trusts Kyrgios could be anything in the event that he exorcizes his mental evil spirits. "Scratch Kyrgios has as much ability as potentially you would ever observe on a tennis court," he said.
"In any case, clearly that is being met with a tad bit of begrudgement all alone part for some reason.
"At the point when stories like that can turn, some person like that can out of the blue move into new unfamiliar kind of region."
