‘I’m Heavy Asthmatic’ – Nick Kyrgios Complains About Marijuana Issues at US Open 2022

Australian tennis ace, Nick Kyrgios, is in a brilliant touch this year. The 27-year-old made it to the Wimbledon final for the first time. He has been a consistent performer throughout and also won his first ATP title of the year recently in the Citi Open.

Further, the Aussie has done well in his first two matches at the US Open 2022. He cruised past his doubles partner, Thanasi Kokkinakis, in the first round and later defeated Benjamin Bonzi of France to book his third-round slot. Later, the Australian spoke about his experience playing in the US Open.

Nick Kyrgios on the US Open experience

When asked by a reporter if he likes the playing conditions in the Louis Armstrong Stadium after his second-round win in the US Open, Kyrgios replied, “Yeah, people don’t know. I’m a heavy asthmatic. When I’m running side to side, I’m struggling to breathe, probably not something I want to be breathing in in between points.” The Aussie further added, “Yeah, US Open. It’s a very different vibe to everywhere else. I feel like Wimbledon was so proper. Australian Open, you kind of expect it there, being an Aussie. But here, it’s just like noisy. Point in, point out, I can’t barely hear. Half the time I can’t even hear my team because it’s so noisy all the time.”

The Australian also complained about the constant distractions and heckling that might impact his game. “For someone that’s struggled to focus in my career, I’m really trying hard to put my head down and play point by point, try to dig myself out of some certain situations. It’s hard because there’s a lot of distractions. Obviously a lot of heckling going on as well,” he added.

Kyrgios is worried about his parents

Being one of the boldest personalities on the tour, Kyrgios never shies away from giving his opinion. The Aussie has been pretty vocal about the excessive travel for the Australian tennis players on the tour.

The 27-year-old recently said he has not been home in four months. Further, world number 25 said that he has not seen his parents for a long time and he misses them.

However, the 27-year-old is relieved that the US Open is the last stop before he finally gets to go home. After all that sacrifice, it will be great for the Aussie if he returns home with his first Grand Slam title.
