Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios is one of the most famous players on the Tour. He is one of a kind and certainly knows how to win the crowds towards his side. With each year passing by, his fan base keeps on increasing. 

Recently, Nick Kyrgios came across an interesting stat that made him look superior to the World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, the World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev, and the new World No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas. On a real note, the Australian star has a better head-to-head ratio against these three top guys.

Reflecting on Kyrgios’ season so far, he has not played much tennis as he was sidelined with an injury since the previous season. He played at the Australian Open and came as far as the third round. He was involved in an epic battle against Dominic Thiem and unfortunately, he lost in five sets.

After that, he took a break from the Tour and made a comeback directly at the Wimbledon Championships. He cruised through the first couple of rounds but had to withdraw midway through his third-round match against Felix Auger-Aliassime due to a shoulder injury.

However, he is back on the tennis courts and was recently seen at the Citi Open. Sadly, he lost in the opening round and was unable to defend his title. We wish him all the luck for the upcoming matches and the rest of the season.
