Nick Kyrgios is imploring his Australian support cast to dream big and seize the moment when Wimbledon finally returns with full crowds on Monday.
The All England Club will be at capacity for the first time since pre-COVID in 2019 as eight Australians open their campaigns on day one of the championships.
A former quarter-finalist in slick grass-court touch this summer, Kyrgios shapes as Australia's only genuine title threat in the absence of retired reigning women's champion Ash Barty.
But the 27-year-old is convinced Australia's eight other players in the men's draw, including 19th seed Alex de Minaur, are also capable of making runs.
While Kyrgios, de Minaur, Jordan Thompson, Alexei Popyrin and Jason Kubler don't start until Tuesday. Thanasi Kokkinakis, John Millman, James Duckworth and qualifier Max Purcell are all in action on Monday.
"You look at Thanasi, Thompson, Millman, de Minaur, Duckworth — they're all capable of playing at top-50 level," Kyrgios said.
"I've grown up and seen it. I almost believe in them more than they believe in themselves at times.
"I practised with 'Thommo' yesterday. We had such a high-level practice. He's playing, I think, I believe, like top-20, top-25 tennis on the grass.
"I want to see them kind of break through. Like, if I had to play one of them — I played 'Thommo here (in 2019), and I wasn't happy about it. We had a five-set match.
"I know what they're capable of. I wouldn't be surprised if any of them had a breakthrough week. They've just got to believe. If they had a bit more belief, who knows how far they'd go."
Duckworth will never have a better chance to showcase his capabilities than when he squares off with Britain's two-time Wimbledon champion and former world number one Andy Murray in Monday's third match on centre court.
Duckworth is a player Murray can relate to, with both requiring delicate hip surgery to continue their careers.
"I'm sure we'll have a good match," Murray said.
