Furthermore, Kyrgios acclaimed Venus as an obvious legend. For this, he explained that while she is still gracing the court and winning at 41, he wouldn’t be able to hit a ball at that age.

He also added that “it is a dream come true” for him to be playing with a Williams sister before they retired.

“I am not sure how long she will play for, so before she gives it up, I do want to experience playing one of the Williams sisters in mixed doubles. They have been around for so long, so long. I think it will be a bit of fun,” Kyrgios added.

“Maybe she can teach me some of that calm, the water-type energy that’s out there. I am going to go out there and have fun. She is an absolute legend of the sport. I am super excited. I can tell she’s excited, too,” Kyrgios said.

Considerably, the 26-year-old Australian believes they are a dangerous pair if they serve well. Kyrgios also expects the crowd to get behind them.

“I don’t think she ever thought back in the day she’d be playing mixed doubles with the bad boy of tennis, so we’ll see how it goes,” Kyrgios said.

The couple received a wildcard and will begin their campaign at Wimbledon against Americans Austin Krajicek and Sabrina Santamaria. How excited are you to see them together at the Wimbledon Championships 2021?
