“I don’t believe my body will hold up”- Nick Kyrgios
As per Kyrgios, his body will not allow him to win a grand slam. In addition, grand slams were out of his ambitions. That’s also the reason why he doesn’t want a coach.
“Personally, I think (hiring a coach) is a little bit of a waste of money ’cause I think they get paid way too much,” Kyrgios told his friend Elliot Loney during a candid 45-minute podcast.
“And, for me, I don’t have a goal of winning grand slams. I just want to do it my way, have fun with it and just play.”
“So to get a coach for me is pointless because I don’t want to waste their time almost.”
“I just don’t think a coach is ready – and I’m not going to put them through it too ’cause it would just be a nightmare.”
“Where I’m at my career now, it’s just too far gone, I think for a coach, ’cause I’m too set in my ways and I just don’t like to listen to advice, to be honest.”
Kyrgios further added that he isn’t physically capable.

“I don’t believe my body will hold up for seven matches at a grand slam, potentially playing three to four hours (each match),” he said.
“If I could, I’d just be on the beers every time I play – afterwards. I just want to chill out. I just think the sport’s taken a bit too seriously,” Kyrgios said.
Many of you would not like his approach towards tennis. Everyone wants to see a tennis player be ambitious and aim for more titles. It’s his career at the end of the day and none of us can force him to change.
