It’s interesting that both Kyrgios and Mitchell face similar challenges, as pointed out by Sydney reporter Michael Chammas.
I see a lot of Nick Kyrgios in Latrell Mitchell. When people start telling him he is doing something wrong. And when people start criticizing him, the protection mechanism is then to rebel and “stuff you” and show people that I’m not going to be hurt by what you’re saying, when deep down they are hurt.said Michael Chammas on the Footy Talk League podcast
In his recent Instagram story, Kyrgios shared this clip containing Chammas’ words and agreed with the reporter.
Damn right we are Latrell Mitchell…both one of the best at what we do. People have no idea what it takes.wrote Nick Kyrgios on his Instagram story.
The NRL (National Rugby League) star is currently serving a three-game suspension for elbowing a player in the face, which has led to questions about his commitment to the sport and his teammates.

Nick Kyrgios agrees with a tweet that hailing Roger Federer’s aesthetically pleasing playing style
Roger Federer, the Swiss tennis legend, is known for his beautiful playing style both during his career and after retirement. Fans and players still admire his graceful approach on the court.
A recent viral tweet hinted the same, that if tennis was about aesthetics, Federer would have gotten a 10. To this, Nick Kyrgios captioned “smoothest to ever do it,” agreeing to the statement.
Kyrgios himself isn’t bad either, as he is one of the best-timers of the ball. With good accuracy and power, the Australian ace has had little success in tennis. Currently, he is on the sidelines, treating an ankle injury. With “fire in his belly”, Kyrgios hopes to get back on the court and give tennis another chance.
