Nick Kyrgios revealed that for him, the purpose of playing mixed doubles was to have fun on the court.

“I just want to go out there and have a lot of fun. She’s an amazing person. I’m just looking forward to go out there and hopefully, I mean, she lost first round. I know it’s not going to be easy for her to be around the tournament”.

Nick Kyrgios expressed hope that he can act as a source of cheerfulness for Anisimova who is not going through a very good time. She also had to go through the pain of discussing her deceased father after an insensitive question put forth by a journalist.

“Hopefully, I can get her up, bring some good vibes. Hopefully we can do well. I think we can. She’s an amazing player. I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been excited for this for like a month and a half. I’m like a little kid at the moment. I’m pretty excited… I get more nervous in doubles matches and stuff because I don’t want to let anyone down.”
