Nick Kyrgios has made his choice clear. The tennis star chose the exhibition tour taking place in Saudi Arabia rather than representing Australia in the Davis Cup. However, earlier the tennis player said that the six-digit paycheck is the reason behind his decision to flip. Lleyton Hewitt, who is the team captain, and his fellow countryman, Alex de Minaur, tried to pursue him but had failed attempts. Once Kyrgios have decided on a thing, he is never going back. However, amid all this chaos, the 27-year-old shares more details adding to his decision. 

Kyrgios had a successful tennis season. This year, he reached his first Grand Slam finals match against Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios adds more reason for choosing Diriyah Cup

Kyrgios had previously only discussed how the remuneration for the Saudi Arabia exhibition tour is different from the paycheck for the Davis Cup. The tennis player, however, has expanded on his reasons for going to Saudi Arabia rather than supporting his country in his statement.

He said, “I’ll easily take time with my family and my girlfriend and enjoy experiences around the world and earn that type of money rather than play a week away in something where I wouldn’t be able to be with my girlfriend and I’m not getting paid that well.“

The tennis player claims that spending time with his family and girlfriend will make him feel more at ease than being away from them for a week. Additionally, he said that spending this kind of money on experiences and travel with a girlfriend and family is preferable. Rather than struggling and possibly not getting paid adequately for his troubles. In addition, the Australian tennis player has consistently stated that he will prioritize what is best for himself and his family. Rather than what other people think of the situation.
