I think we&#x27;re going to see a rejuvenated Nick Kyrgios.<\/p>\n<p><img data-id=\"4572c6f6-5561-4ff7-b4ed-b0567e2ac499\" src=\"https:\/\/prod.static9.net.au\/fs\/4572c6f6-5561-4ff7-b4ed-b0567e2ac499\" alt=\"John Millman\" data-width=\"1396\" data-height=\"785\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&quot;He&#x27;s got a massive serve.
