Out of Office: Nick Kyrgios On Tennis’s Next Generation

Last Updated: April 26, 2023

Rich Kleiman talks to ATP Tour tennis pro Nick Kyrgios, the player who’s accomplished the rare feat of beating each of tennis’s big three: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. Kyrgios talks about his obsession with basketball and how the business and culture of basketball differs from that of tennis – and what it might take to change the culture of tennis in the future. He also gets candid about his struggles with the attention and fame that come alongside his career, and how he overcame the depression that followed. Plus, his thoughts on Naomi Osaka’s impact on the sport and his feeling that he’s about to have his best-ever season in 2021.
