Nick Krygios has a long list of tattoos. He has ‘inspire others’ on the edge of his right hand which can only be seen when he lifts his arm. A feather is tattooed on the side of his right forearm which according to Nick is meant to be a reminder that everyone’s goal in life is to improve themselves.

Nick Krygios has not had a very successful run so far this year as he missed many events including all three of the slams this year. He missed his home slam Australian Open and the French Open due to his knee injury. While he had a spectacular run at Wimbledon last year making the finals, this year Krygios missed the slam due to his wrist injury.

In the Netflix tennis documentary series, Nick opened up about his mental health struggles and how he was lonely, depressed, abusing drugs and he pushed away his family and friends during his tough times. He also revealed that he spent time in the psychiatry ward in 2019 after Wimbledon loss because of suicidal thoughts and that his arm is covered with scars and that’s the reason for most of his career he played with a arm coverup and eventually got it covered with tattoos.
