Nick Kyrgios hints he may have only 3 more years left in tennis
ATP
Nick Kyrgios hinted that he might not be competing professionally in three years anymore. He doesn't plan to play in his 30s.
Kyrgios is having the best season of his career so far as he succeeded in singles as well as doubles this year. It all started with the 2022 Australian Open doubles triumph with Thanasi Kokkinakis.
The 27-year-old Australian then also played his maiden Grand Slam singles final at Wimbledon and won his first title in three years at the Citi Open in Washington.
However, Kyrgios won't be probably one of the players who will play until his forties, as he hinted. The Australian really likes to interact with his fans and answer some of their questions.
He did so during a recent Q&A he held on his Instagram profile. During the Q&A, he received many interesting questions from his fans, and he chose a few that he publicly answered.
Kyrgios was asked about his worst habit. As a true competitor, he named "winning" as his worst habit. The Australian certainly got used to winning this year, as it's been the best of his tennis career.
"Winning, it's addictive. And sometimes unhealthy, it makes you obsessed."
One of the fans also wondered how long would fans be able to continue seeing the Australian on the tennis courts. Kyrgios was asked whether he could see himself playing in his 30s, to which he replied that it's unlikely.
"Honestly probably not. I wanna be able to not be bothered. Probs gonna go to my house in the Bahamas and just sit and do nothing."
In April next year, the 2022 Wimbledon finalist will turn 28, so it will be interesting to follow how many more years he will continue playing for. However, most of the fans will probably miss Kyrgios if he chooses to leave the sport early.
