Nick Kyrgios
Nick Kyrgios is one of the most colourful characters in the world of tennis. A former World No. 13, the Australian turned Pro in 2012 and has won 6 career titles so far in singles events while he is the recipient of 2 doubles titles as well. Kyrgios had a successful junior career as well having won the 2013 Australian Open Juniors where he defeated compatriot and childhood friend Thanasi Kokkinakis in the finals. He also won the Junior Doubles in the 2012 French Open and 2012 Wimbledon defending the title in Wimbledon in 2013.
Kyrgios would later go on to win the 2022 Australian Open Doubles title with Kokkinakis in what was a return to form for the Australian after a couple of difficult seasons in 2020 and 2021. Nick has been often one of the most controversial players involved in unwanted drams for being candid and honest in his thoughts and not afraid to call out the authorities as well for any misdoings he feels.
Nick Kyrgios has refused coaches always
Nick has been without a coach ever since 2013 and has spoken about it a couple of times in the press about why he doesn’t hire a permanent coach. “I just don’t think a coach is ready for me and I want to spare him that because it would otherwise be a nightmare. At the current stage of my career, it is already too advanced for a coach because my paths have already solidified. And I just don’t like to listen to advice, to be completely honest,” Nick had said a few years ago.
During his run at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships where he reached his first-ever Grand Slam singles finals, Kyrgios said, “I don’t have a coach and I would never put that burden on someone. Each and everyone in my team plays a very important role. I feel like no one knows my tennis better than I do. I’ve been playing this sport since I was seven. I don’t have a coach, I haven’t had a coach for four, or five years now. I feel like tactically I’m one of the best players on tour, I feel like I’m very tactically switched on.”
When referring to his ‘team‘, he was implying Will Maher, his physiotherapist, and Matt Reid, his hitting partner. John Morris and Carlos Fleming are his agents and managers who look after the commercial side including his endorsements and deals off the court.
