2022 Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios is seemingly warning his competition that underestimating him at The Championships could be a costly mistake.

Kyrgios, 28, arrived at The All England Club this week. 

Last year, Kyrgios put up a great run at Wimbledon, which resulted in the Australian making his first Grand Slam final at The Championships. 

Also, it is worth mentioning that in 2014 - when Kyrgios was making his Wimbledon debut - he stunned Rafael Nadal en route to making the quarterfinal.

"Some say I don’t fit in here. I show them my resumé," Kyrgios captioned his Instagram post.

How much can Kyrgios do at this year's Wimbledon?

Last year, Kyrgios made two semifinals in grass tournaments leading up to Wimbledon. 

But this year, it's a different situation.

After missing the first six months of the season due to knee surgery, Kyrgios kicked off his 2023 season in Stuttgart.

After suffering a first-round loss in Stuttgart, Kyrgios withdrew from Halle and Mallorca due to a knee issue, which raised concerns.

But Kyrgios seems to be ready to compete at Wimbledon.

This week, tennis legend John McEnroe warned that a fit Kyrgios could again make some noise at Wimbledon.

“I remember seeing him last year in terms of his training, he looked fitter, he was moving better, he was more committed. And look what it resulted in. He was able to get to a Wimbledon final. To me, he would be a major threat on grass if he is on. No one wants to play him, that I can assure you of. Obviously, if he’s back and fit and mentally sort of focused, he’s going to give it his all, then yes he can be a threat," McEnroe said of Kyrgios.

Kyrgios may be lacking matches ahead of Wimbledon, but if he is feeling fit and healthy, there is no doubt that he could make a run at The Championships.
