Nick Kyrgios answered a fan's question on Instagram about whether he will play after the age of 30 and shocked many with his answer: “Honestly, probably not,” Kyrgios replied. “I wanna be able to not be bothered, probs gonna go to my house in the Bahamas and just sit and do nothing”.
And at the Us Open, he made statements that surprised those present. Kyrgios seems to no longer love tennis, and he no longer wants to be a part of it. "It's the last biggest tournament of the year," he said at the time. "We've got to try and just tough it out and keep pushing each other, keep being positive.
Next week we're going home. But three more matches potentially, then we never have to play tennis again." McEnroe also commented on the great victory of Kyrgios against Medvedev. McEnroe hopes that Kyrgios will not decide to leave tennis and that he will remain on the tennis scene.
“Well I've got some bad news for you. Ash Barty [retired after winning a major], so it’s not impossible to think that he could do that.
“We hope he won't do that because there’s a phrase, I think it’s worldwide - ‘better late than never’.
That applies to Nick, because he wasn’t professional for a long time, he played a lot of matches where he wasn’t giving it his all, and now you see what he’s capable of when he does. And he trains and he’s in shape and the guy’s phenomenal”.
Kyrgios talks about missing home
After the win vs JJ Wolf, Nick commented on how he can handle being away from home for so long; “I'm struggling with it, to be honest.
“I think a big part of me would love to just be home with my girlfriend and see our families and have that comfortable type of lifestyle.
But this is just what I do.
“It's fun at times obviously going to new places, meeting new people, seeing the world. It's fun. But it's hard. Because we text message, we try and FaceTime, but it doesn't do it justice. You miss crucial moments of life”.
Kyrgios misses his girlfriend and many things besides. It seems that he is dissatisfied with the situation on the tennis scene and that he would like to change some things. We hope that we will see him for a long time because he is a really special person.
