In a recent interview with the Today Show, Nick Kyrgios was asked about whether he will play the European tennis events after pulling out of the US Open. He replied by saying,

“It is a very slim chance I’ll play in Europe. Almost slim to none to be honest. I think I’m going to use this time to stay home. I’m going to respect everyone that’s really tried to do no wrong during this time, tried to isolate themselves, trying to make sure no one else gets sick during this time. So I’m going to use this to say home, train, be with my family, be with my friends. And I’m going to act responsibly and wait until I think there’s better circumstances to play.”

Tennis fans would have loved to see Kyrgios playing many events especially since he is a NextGen player. For a long time now, people are expecting the NextGen of tennis to win some Grand Slams. Unfortunately, this hasn’t happened yet.

Hopefully, Nick Kyrgios will be able to win some big titles the next time he plays and in the process, break the reign of the ‘Big 3’.
