Nick Kyrgios is an excellent tennis player but his career has been distracted by his antics on and off the court. He is often fined by umpires for poor behavior on the court.

Kyrgios reached a peak ranking of world number 13 in 2016. He reached the finals at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships where he lost to Novak Djokovic. He won the doubles title at the 2022 Australian Open with fellow Aussie Thanasi Kokkinakis.  He holds the unique honor of beating Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic in their first meeting.

Tennis’ ultimate bad boy, Nick Kyrgios, was born in Canberra, Australia to father George, who is from Greece, and mother Norlaila, who is from Malaysia.  Kyrgios played basketball until he was 14. Then he dedicated himself to tennis.

Kyrgios is represented by Naomi Osaka’s sports agency Evolve. He was previously represented by IMG. His sponsors are Nike, Yonex, Beyond Meat, and Beats by Dre. He has earned over $13 million in his career.
