Nick Kyrgios says his mindset has changed and admits that being in a serious relationship has had a positive impact on his career as he now has a “partner that I see a future with and want to provide for.” Kyrgios, 27, started dating Costen Hatzi in late 2021 and his girlfriend has been accompanying him to tournaments throughout the 2022 season.
Kyrgios looks extremely happy on and off the court as he has been playing the tennis of his life in 2022. With the bride by his side, Kyrgios’ motivation to do well is through the roof. “Honestly, I feel like I’m a lot older, a lot more mature, and I feel like when you get older, you realize you shouldn’t take these things for granted, the way you feel, the way your body feels.
it feels. Also, now I have a partner with whom I see a future and I see that I have to support her. So I feel like my motivation is a lot higher than it used to be,” Kyrgios said, according to Sportskeeda. “I don’t care what people say about my tennis, as long as they disrespect the sport, all this, all that.
I know that deep down I strive to do it my way. I know that I inspire millions of people, and that I only play for them,” said Kyrgios. The 2022 season has been absolutely fantastic for Kyrgios, who became a Grand Slam champion earlier this year after he and Thanasi Kokkinakis will win the Australian Open men’s doubles title.
After winning the Australian Open men’s doubles title, Kyrgios reached his first Grand Slam singles final at Wimbledon. Kyrgios fell to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final but won his first title of the year last week after beating Yoshihito Nishioka in the final.
This week, Kyrgios plays Sebastián Báez in the first round in Montreal.
Nick Kyrgios is very happy
“I came out today and I was like I’m just gonna go there with a serve-and-volley tactic pretty much every point, serving in volume.
I didn’t want to give him any rhythm. Obviously, he’s playing pretty well right now so I wanted to just try and break it,” Nick Kyrgios said. Kyrgios said that he’s enjoying his tennis and is looking to get back to where he belongs in the ATP rankings.
“It’s rewarding to beat the World No. 1, it’s just a reflection of all the hard work I’ve done in Sydney. You know, the positive mindset. After Washington, [I] could [have] easily come here and be content with what I did last week.
But I wanted to empty the tank these two weeks. My ranking is not where I wanted to be after not getting those points at Wimbledon. I got to capitalize on this little window,” Nick Kyrgios explained.
