 Nick Kyrgios is no stranger to controversy, the charismatic Australian is either loved or hated, there’s rarely an in-between. His newest one comes from Mate Pavic and Nikola Mektic. The Croatian pair faced Kyrgios and his partner, Thanasi Kokkinakis, at the Australian Open. They found the crowd a little disrespectful, and the Australian duo made it more difficult to play against them. Arguably, Pavic and Mektic are the best doubles players in the world. They won the gold at the Tokyo Olympics and the 2021 Wimbledon Championships. But, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis defeated the Croats in straight sets and then went on to win the title. The crowd at the Kia Arena during the second round match was rambunctious. They poured their support for Kyrgios and Kokkinakis. This did not sit well with the Croatian duo, who felt that they could have been a bit more respectful for the two other players in the arena as well.

He also touched on what had actually happened, and about his feelings for the Australian pair, especially Nick Kyrgios [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nick-kyrgios/]. “I don’t know how to convey that to you. They are not correct, it is difficult to play in those conditions against Kokkinakis and especially Kyrgios, who, to be politically correct, is a circus performer and an idiot. Kyrgios is allowed a lot, he does not respect his opponents,” said Mate Pavić. (Quotes have been translated using Google Translate) He also spoke about how it was not uncommon to be entertainers on the court. He cited the example of Gaël Monfils [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/gael-monfils/], who, other than being an exceptional player, is also a “showman”. But he reiterated how the approach Kyrgios takes is ‘full of disrespect’. Pavic also said that Kyrgios gets away with it, because of his huge fan base.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is <b>Nick Kyrgios?</b></h2>
Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios first came into the limelight when he defeated <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Rafael Nadal</a> in 2014 at Wimbledon. As a result, he became the first male newcomer to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals since Florian Mayer in 2004.

Kyrgios stands as just the third player, after Dominik Hrbatý and Lleyton Hewitt, to have triumphed against each of the Big Three (Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal) in his initial encounters with them.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nick Kyrgios’s early life </b></h2>
<br style="font-weight: 400" />Kyrgios was born and raised in Canberra, Australia. His father, George, originally from Greece, pursued a career as a painter, while his mother, Norlaila, from Malaysia, worked as a computer engineer. He has two older siblings, Christos and Halimah.

During his early life, Kyrgios balanced both basketball and tennis, demonstrating talent in both. However, he and his family were inclined towards tennis. At the age of 15, he received funding to train as a tennis player at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). In 2012, he partnered with Andrew Harris, another AIS trainee, to secure victories in the junior doubles competitions at Wimbledon and the French Open. By January 2013, Kyrgios had claimed the Australian Open junior singles title.

In 2011, he began competing more frequently on the junior tour and made his debut at a junior grand slam event during the 2011 Australian Open.
