One of the world’s most talented players, Nick Kyrgios has created quite a name for himself. Often known for his antics, the Australian has been one of the most discussed players in recent years. After the likes of Federer and Nadal, Kyrgios has proved to be a huge crowd puller at the tournaments.
Nick first revealed himself at Wimbledon in 2014. He knocked out then world no. 1 Rafael Nadal in four sets to proceed into the quarter-final that year.
