Many athletes listen to hype music to get their blood pumping before a big game or match-up. Tennis star Nick Kyrgios tried a different method on Saturday, playing something a bit more mellow, and while he didn't lose his bout with Jiri Vesely, his first set left much to be desired. Kyrgios says listening to Drake before hitting the court caused the slow start.
"I came out really flat," he said after the match, "so hopefully I won't listen to that again! It was actually Drake. Didn't do the job for me."
Yesterday, Kyrgios beat Rafael Nadal and progressed in the 2014 Wimbledon Championships. It's assumed there was no Drake involved this time around.
