Overview

A former world No.1 junior, Nick Kyrgios made a stunning transition to the pro ranks. In his Wimbledon debut in 2014, he saved nine match points against Richard Gasquet before his fourth round upset of world No.1 Rafael Nadal. Kyrgios then became the first man since Roger Federer to reach two major quarterfinals as a teen with another big run at the Australian Open in 2015. Returning to the Tour after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in January, Nick will be representing Team World for a fifth time in Vancouver. 

Off Court

One of the game’s biggest personalities, Team means everything to Nick, who especially loves time spent with his family – parents George and Nil, brother Christos and sister Halimah – at home in Canberra. A huge NBA fan, Kyrgios’ favorite team is the Boston Celtics. He established his own foundation to support under-privileged youth in 2018 and during the COVID-19 pandemic delivered food to families in need in his home town. Hi idols growing up were Roger Federer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and basketball players LeBron James, Kevin Garnett and Michael Jordan. Nicknamed ‘Kygs’ he follows a vegan diet and was named ATP Fans’ Favourite Doubles in 2022 alongside Thanasi Kokkinakis. 

Career

Kyrgios has won a total of 7 ATP singles titles (and 4 doubles), his most recent at Washington in 2022, where he also won the doubles title with Jack Sock.  2022 marked one of the Australian’s best seasons on record. He came close to winning his first major at Wimbledon ranked No.40 – becoming the first unseeded Grand Slam finalist since the 2008 Australian Open (Tsonga). At the US Open, he upset No.1 Daniil Medvedev in four sets to reach the quarterfinals. Also in men’s doubles, he won his first major at the Australian Open partnering with good mate Thanasi Kokkinakis and the pair picked up their second trophy together at Atlanta. Nick is a passionate Team World representative, and lights up the bench and the court with his electrifying tennis and team support.
