On January 26th, 2020, the world witnessed a tragic incident. Basketball Legend Kobe Bryant sadly passed away in a helicopter crash. Everybody was in shock when they heard about this and paid tribute to him. Check out how Nick Kyrgios [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nick-kyrgios/] did it. HOW NICK KYRGIOS PAID TRIBUTE TO KOBE BRYANT As you can see in the twitter post, Nick Kyrgios got a tattoo. This tattoo is of the Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and is Kyrgios’ way of paying tribute to one of the greatest basketballers of all time. An absolutely amazing way to do it. While Nick got a tattoo of Kobe Bryant, he also got a tattoo for another player. Coincidentally, he also plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. You guessed it – it is LeBron James. Just like the Kobe Bryant tattoo, this one also looks amazing. Australian Open 2020: Nick Kyrgios Kobe Bryant, tribute video ... [https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/1a32e5043a51baec41bca1c19d47819f] This tattoo was not the only tribute Kyrgios gave to Kobe Bryant. In the photo above, you can see Nick wearing Kobe Bryant’s jersey at the Australian Open 2020. He wore it in his 4th round match against Rafael Nadal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/] when he was warming up. While many people dislike Nick Kyrgios’ demeanor, nobody can deny that his tributes to Kobe Bryant were absolutely amazing. In fact, I believe we are seeing a change in Nick Kyrgios from the controversial player he once was. We saw this change at the 2020 Australian Open. Many players like Rafael Nadal praised him for this change. And this change will allow him to become the best player he can be and will enable him to win some big titles. I am sure Nick wants to win those titles. Unfortunately, he will have to wait as the ATP tour has been suspended [https://www.atptour.com/en/news/atp-wta-tours-announce-further-suspension-wimbledon]. When the tour resumes in July, hopefully, we will see the reformed Nick Kyrgios chasing the biggest titles in tennis.

<h3><strong>Nick Kyrgios 2022: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h3>
Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios was first thrust into the limelight when he defeated <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/">Rafael Nadal</a> in 2014 at Wimbledon. As a result, he became the first male newcomer to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals since Florian Mayer in 2004.

However, Nick Kyrgios has been fined several times in his career by the ATP. In one of his meltdowns at the Cincinnati Masters 2019, Nick Kyrgios was fined $113,000 for five different instances of unsportsmanlike conduct by the ATP.

During the match with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/karen-khachanov/">Karen Khachanov</a>, Kyrgios was penalized with a point for unsportsmanlike conduct and was fined $20,000. He was also fined $3000 for leaving the court without the permission of the Chair Umpire and was deemed to have gone to the washroom.

However, he didn't go to the washroom and instead went and smashed his racquets inside the locker room.

His unsportsmanlike conduct took place on four different occasions and the Australian has been fined $20,000 for three of them and $5,000 for the remaining one.

Nick Kyrgios also used obscene language on the court, for which he was charged with $5000 and had to pay $20,000 for verbal abuse.

In 2022, his on-court tantrums at the Indian Wells and Miami Open cost him around $60,000. Later at Wimbledon, he also received around $17,000 fine for spitting at a fan and for his outrageous behavior during the third-round match against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

He has also been accused of verbal abuse and unsportsmanlike conduct by much of the media and former tennis players, including John McEnroe.

<h3>Nick Kyrgios' form leading up to the 2022 season</h3>
Kyrgios did not have a great 2021, as he did not play many tournaments. Overall, he had a 7-8 win-loss record in 2021.

Before the 2022 season began, he last played at the Laver Cup in September.

After ending the 2021 season abruptly, he started the 2022 season in a great manner, as he won the Australian Open doubles tournament. Later, he reached the quarter-finals of Indian Wells and the fourth round at the Miami Open. As usual, he skipped the clay court season.

However, he came back during the grass court season, reaching semis in 2 tournaments. Moreover, he played in the final of Wimbledon as well.
