Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios, also known as the ‘bad boy of tennis’, is returning to the Australian Open as the year’s first Grand Slam is set to kick off on 14 January. While Kyrgios- the tennis player will be missed in Melbourne, the Aussie star will be donning the commentator’s hat for the 2024 Australian Open. Kyrgios will be working as a guest commentator for ESPN for the two-week-long tournament. 

As tournament director Craig Tiley had promised, the 28-year-old will be involved in his home slam despite being unable to participate as a player. Kyrgios has signed a deal with ESPN for the 2024 Australian Open. This will be Kyrgios’ second project as a tennis commentator, as the Aussie had worked for Tennis Channel during the 2023 ATP Finals.

As ESPN announced Kyrgios’ onboarding as the commentator for the 2024 Australian Open saying his first-hand knowledge of the sport will bring crucial insights for the viewers, the Australian said that he could not have asked for anything better.

I recently hinted that I would have some special things planned for the Australian Open and this is one of them. I love watching tennis and to be able to break down matches on live television, for ESPN, in Australia, I almost couldn’t ask for anything better.
