This is not to say that he lacks the punch in crunch game situations. The Australian fears no one in the world and can face any opponent, any day.

Nick Kyrgios is the bad boy of tennis, and his comments do all the justice to his character.

Nobody wants to face me in the first round. I feel that I can beat 50% of the draw. At the start of my career it was like I was a disgrace to the game. Now every time I touch a court it’s fully packed and I’m always on the tennis social media,” said Kyrgios is an interview.

He also withdrew from the Queen’s Club Championship due to a neck pain. Needless to say, the fans would highly anticipate his return to the court at Wimbledon.

Kyrgios has never failed to entertain a crowd at an event. Even though he might not be the most decorated player, or the most skillful player, his character speaks volumes of him.

The World No. 61 is never shy of a challenge, and the Wimbledon Championships this year are nothing short of that.
