Nick’s shtick is on the uptike …
Nick’s shtick was mostly entertaining and effective in a semi-final win over Stefanos’ Grecian formula at the Washington, DC Citi Open tuneup. Even if you don’t like his approach, Nick brings a fresh attitude and loads of talent that is undeniable. I would argue tennis needs this, as the domination of the Top 3 has created a rather stale situation (at least in the minds of those who want some variety). Of course, the Aussie still has to prove he can hold things together in a major when he faces the big boys; looks like he’s gearing up for a major assault in September’s US Open.
