Nick Kyrgios says what is ‘hands down’ the most fun tournament to play on tour

Nick Kyrgios says what is ‘hands down’ the most fun tournament to play on tour

Nick Kyrgios will be back on a court very shortly, with his return from injury perhaps not set to please everyone.

The controversial Australian has been carrying out media duties while injured, although Kyrgios hasn’t enjoyed commentating on Novak Djokovic.

Kyrgios plans to play at the Brisbane International next month, with the 2022 Wimbledon finalist likely to use that event as preparation for the Australian Open.

He will be desperate to impress on his return from injury, having been sidelined with knee and wrist issues in recent years.

The former world number 13 will only have eyes on the near future, but many tennis fans would undoubtedly love to see him play at all four Grand Slams next season.

Nick Kyrgios names the most fun tournament to play on tour

Kyrgios does, however, have a favourite out of the four, sharing his love for the US Open on Good Trouble with film star Matthew McConaughey.

“Have you been to Wimbledon before?” Kyrgios asked McConaughey. “It’s so quiet, in between points, it’s like you can hear a pin drop and then US Open is like constant white noise. It’s always celebrities, and I think for me it’s probably the most fun tournament to play, hands down.”

Does Nick Kyrgios love tennis ahead of his Australian Open return?

It is perhaps unsurprising exactly why a figure like Kyrgios leans towards the US Open, with the Australian certainly one of the most flamboyant players on tour.

He has delighted many crowds with his stylish shots and creativity on court over the years, with plenty of fans now very excited for his return.

At the same time, however, there are certain supporters and indeed stakeholders who may not welcome back such a controversial figure with open arms.

Australian Open fans should be in the former category, with the player certain to be chomping at the bit to get back on the court, even if Kyrgios doesn’t exactly love tennis.
