Tennis's most combustible and brilliant entertainer, whose talent was matched only by his unpredictability.
Nick Kyrgios was born on 27 April 1995 in Canberra, Australia, to a Greek father and Malaysian mother. He turned professional in 2013 and immediately showed rare talent, stunning Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon 2014 in his first major fourth round. His career has been defined by extraordinary shot-making — underarm serves, tweeners, behind-the-back shots — alongside behavioural controversies including racket abuse, verbal altercations, and ATP fines. He reached the 2022 Wimbledon final, his only Grand Slam final, losing to Novak Djokovic. Chronic knee and wrist injuries have kept him off tour for extended periods, but his talent remains undeniable.
