The Bryan brothers are the only team in history to win all major titles, four Grand Slam titles, Olympic gold medals, ATP World Tour Masters 1000 champions, ATP World Tour Finals and the Davis Cup Trophy as a doubles team. In an exclusive interview with All Court Tennis Club, Bob Bryan shared his views on the controversial Australian player. He shared his excitement about witnessing Nick Kyrgios win the Australian Open 2022 doubles championship.
Bob Bryan said, “We were excited to see him break through on the doubles court. He is so talented. He had those stadiums rocking in Australia. You had fans come in, they weren’t tennis fans. These were kids off the street, skateboarders, and real urban culture coming in to root for this guy. He is a showman. He understands entertainment and they were amped up. It was great for doubles to have a guy like that breaking through. I think he is good at the sport.”

On Kyrgios’ controversial behavior, the legendary player further added, “As a parent, sometimes you question his decisions out there. Some of the things he says and sometimes you don’t want to be front row with your kids, but everyone is talking about him. He is packing stadiums, tournament directors want him to sell tickets. Nick Kyrgios just gets it. He gets the entertainment and kids just love him. My kid is trying the underarm serve and the through-the-leg shots. He’s interesting, so I think that is only going to attract more people to his sport.”
Kyrgios struggling with recurring injuries
The 27-year-old Aussie star has had an impressive run in 2022, reaching the Wimbledon final for the first time. However, the bad boy of tennis will not play in the Paris Masters this year. He had injured his left knee earlier this year and had also pulled out of the Atlanta Open.
