Nick Kyrgios may be one of the most talented players of this millennium, but he has almost never been able to fully express his potential. The Australian tennis player has achieved very modest results for an athlete with his potential, paying a high price for a poor willingness to sacrifice and a mentality not ideal to win at very high levels.

The Australian champions career looked very close to a turning point in 2022, the best year of Nicks career together with 2017 (when he reached the final at the Cincinnati Masters 1000). Kyrgios reached his first Grand Slam final two years ago at the Wimbledon Championships, losing to a great Novak Djokovic after playing an outstanding tournament.
The Australian ace had defeated Daniil Medvedev at the 2022 US Open a month and a half later, but failed to reach the bottom of New York and from that moment began the decline. Nick hasnt played since last summer and he seemed a long way from tennis in the past few months.
A controversial figure
Kyrgios has been a commentator at several major tournaments - including the 2024 US Open - and he fiercely attacked world number 1 Jannik Sinner after his positive control at Clostebol. The 2022 Wimbledon finalist was one of the most critical to the Italian ace, saying he did not believe his version of events.

Fans and insiders are hoping that Kyrgios will return to the tennis court soon, as he is one of the most spectacular players on the ATP tour and has a fascinating personality. Nick is one of the most talented players in recent years but at the same time he has had a career with few highs and many lows.
Mental health problems, a 'hothead' who often could not express his talent but also physical problems for a tennis player now stopped for almost over a year. Despite this, Nick remains quite active, he has been a commentator for Eurosport in the Grand Slam tournaments and is very active on social media, sometimes for some discussed issues.
In the last few minutes, Nick Kyrgios has communicated on his social media accounts and specifically in an Instagram Stories that he is ready to return to the pitch. The athlete is confident of being available and able to play the home tournament, the 2025 Australian Open. The athlete has been stationary for a long time and would like to arrive at the tournament in the best conditions, the goal is also to play some tournaments before, maybe 250 to take the condition in view of the Australian Slam.

An uncertain future
The physical problems have affected not little the career of Nick Kyrgios but he does not want to give up and is ready to return to the court. In recent weeks the tennis player has been very active on social media and has had several criticisms for the proposed attitude towards Jannik Sinner, criticized for the case Clostebol. According to the Aussie tennis player, the World No.1 was not treated like all others and there was a disparity. Many controversies about this history and also because of this the tennis player was overwhelmed by criticism from fans, especially from the fans of the Italian ace.
As often happened in the course of his career Kyrgios has surprised everyone, first these words and then later - always in these hours - he announced the retirement, or better communicated on his social networks that we are now at the final beats of his career. A black and white photo and a particular message, Kyrgios touched everyone and received several messages on social media.

Having had some disagreements in the past, Nick has developed a very deep relationship with 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic. The two have shared several moments together and often exchange opinions on the most important facts concerning the world of tennis.
During the latest edition of the Tennis Insider Club podcast, the Australian ace opened up on his relationship with Serbian legend Nole Djokovic: "The fact that I played a Slam final with Novak at Wimbledon is crazy, because we're so different that now we're like friends and it's amazing and I get to hit with him and help him, it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's crazy. I never thought that I'd be really good friends with Novak Djokovic at all, and it's not just on the courts. It's like, we text each other, we send ridiculous memes and all this stuff on Instagram. The hope is that the player from Canberra will be able to express his best tennis shots before he ends his career.
