Nick Kyrgios is one of the tennis players who recently answered quick questions from the organizers of the event.
When asked why the Australian thinks tennis is the best sport in the world, he smiles and states that he doesn’t think so.
“It’s not the best sport,” Kyrgios replied.
Turning professional in 2013, the 27-year-old has had a stunning 2022 season as he ended the season 37-10 and won the 500-level ATP tournament title in Washington. This season, he also reached the Grand Slam final for the first time in his career at Wimbledon before losing to Serbian Novak Djokovic in four sets.
