The tennis world, after missing the Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios for almost a year, finally got to see him back. While the return came with a twist of settling the tennis star in the position of a commentator instead of a participant on the court, fans got to witness a completely different side of the 28-year-old.

The ATP Finals in Turin, the event that became the platform that Nick Kyrgios debuted in as a commentator, recently came to an end with Novak Djokovic lifting the trophy. Reflecting the same levels of respect and admiration that the Aussie depicted for the world No. 1 during his commentary sessions, Kyrgios recently shared a story that compared Nole to an Alien.

The Australian tennis sensation Nick Kyrgios recently started to be up in the headlines again. After a year-long break due to injury followed by surgery and an extended recovery phase, Kyrgios finally returned to the tennis scene. However, the return came with a catch of him not coming back with a racket in hand, but as a commentator for the Tennis Channel. This unexpected move allowed him to witness the game from a fresh perspective and share his unique insights in his trademark style, as he continued to do on his Instagram as well.

The recently concluded ATP Finals saw Novak Djokovic lifting the trophy after a thrilling final against Jannik Sinner. Reflecting on Djokovic’s recent massive achievements of finishing as the world No.1 for a record 7th time along with completing 400 weeks as world No. 1, Kyrgios used a unique way of presenting an appreciation for the Serbian legend. In a lighthearted Q&A session, he invited followers to ask “fun questions only.” Among several questions, one question attracted the attention of all the fans as it enquired: “Do Aliens Exist?“

Kyrgios, known for his playful and confident comments, responded in a manner only he could. Instead of presenting already-heard theories, he posted a picture of Novak Djokovic as a response to the story. This move, in fact, lying on the note of a Gen Z gesture, was no doubt targeted to Djokovic’s numerous accomplishments throughout the season.

Kyrgios remarks Djokovic is the GOAT along with an argument

In a recently released video by the Tennis Channel, fans got a behind-the-court look at Nick Kyrgios as he engaged in a tennis drill. The video showed the Aussie walking past a wall that had posters of legendary tennis players, to which Kyrgios paused one by one and narrated his thoughts. When it came to Novak Djokovic’s image, the 28-year-old remarked, “Novak Djokovic, an undisputed GOAT, in my opinion. What a player!”

However, coming from Kyrgios, the appreciation didn’t walk in alone. The Australian tennis star remembered the moment when the two tennis titans got into an intense face-off at the Wimbledon final of 2022. As Djokovic claimed a massive victory with a scoreline of 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) on Centre Court, Kyrgios, good with his playful comments, brought up the memorable encounter during the same drill, as he stated, “Could’ve given me that Wimbledon Final, would’ve been nice.”

While Kyrgios continues to offer unfiltered thoughts on his fellow players, fans now wait to see if continues with the new gig or will be back in the game as a tough competitor.
