In a newly emerged video, Nick took some time out to answer a few questions from fans and followers. However, a certain Casper Ruud was among the many fans, who asked Nick to name his favorite clay-court tournaments. Despite the recent dispute between the two, to everyone’s surprise, Nick answered Casper with utmost sincerity and maturity.

He said, “My favorite clay court tournament I think would have to be… uff.. Houston would be up there, I think one I love playing in America, that event, I’ve actually had some good memories there, I’ve had a lot of fun. Umm and Madrid, I’ve made quarters there once, had some good wins. Rafa has also chopped me there once too, so maybe not. But yeah, probably Madrid.”

Title defending campaign at the Citi Open

Following his second-round exit from ATP Atlanta, Nick Kyrgios will soon begin his Citi Open campaign. Fans will expect the defending champion to play his absolute best as he puts on a show yet again. Notably, ahead of his appearance, Nick expressed his thoughts on his gameplay.

He said, “I feel as if I’m not playing for myself anymore, I feel like I’m kind of playing for a lot of people who can relate to me… The first time I came on-site [Sunday], everyone was kind of embracing me. Felt like I was playing almost in Australia. I feel completely comfortable here.”
