Nick Kyrgios is known for his antics on the court. He talks to himself, referee, player(s), audience, officials, umpire, fans and supporters alike, and sometimes even abuses them, whenever he is frustrated either with himself or others. However, his most infamous act is breaking tennis rackets on the court.

He has been fined many times for it. However, he continues to do so without much regret. Hence, when host of podcast show ‘Impaulsive’, Logan Paul asked him how many rackets he may have broken in his career, Nick Kyrgios gave a cheeky answer without any remorse for doing it on his face.

Oh! That’s different. Couple a grand (thousand) rackets,” he answered.

When Mr. Paul exclaimed that it was a huge number, he explained his answer further.

“It is! And I don’t want to condone it, like it, It’s not good. But I will put it this way. If I was watching a young guy play like say my son for instance one day and he’s losing I would rather see him be frustrated and break a racket, than just like take it and cop it on the chin,” he said.

The Australian player is still to play his first competitive match on this tour. He missed out on some very important tournaments this season such as the United Cup, Adelaide International 2 tournament, and the Australian Open because of a knee injury. Nick Kyrgios had an arthroscopic operation done on his lateral meniscus to clean it up and remove a para-labral cyst.

Although, his manager Daniel Horsfall had assured his fans that he would recover in time for the Indian Wells Open and the Miami Open. However, news came a few days ago about his withdrawal from the tournament.

Eminent sports journalist Mario Boccardi had in his social media post shared this news.

Nick Kyrgios performed well last year. He won his career’s first Grand Slam title, i.e. the Australian Open 2022 doubles event with Thanasi Kokkinakis and reached the final of the Wimbledon 2022 gentleman’s singles event. He expected that this would be the breakthrough year for him; however, he is not able to start his season.

He played only one practice match against Novak Djokovic this year on the sidelines of the Australian Open 2023. However, everyone expects that the 27-year old will return to court stronger and healthier soon.
