Australian Open Fans Don Drake Avatar to Prove Homeboy Nick Kyrgios’ Undeniable Stardom

Nick Kyrgios made a top Australian Open choice! Injuries prevented him from playing in the first Grand Slam tournament of the year, but he still chose to be a crucial part of the event by taking a unique route. You might already know how Kyrgios is ruling hearts with his commentary skills. But do you know that after seeing the 28-year-old tennis star in a new role, fans are not leaving any stone unturned to make fun of him?

Tennis fans have been admiring his commentary talents, and recently a Drake allusion to him came to light while fans made a lighthearted remark about his transition. Let’s see what the fans think of Kyrgios’ perspectives on both playing and commentating in sports.

Fans turn Nick Kyrgios into Drake at the Australian Open 

While the 2022 Wimbledon finalist was supposed to make his comeback with the home Grand Slam tournament this year, things didn’t work as planned. So now he is doing commentary and sharing his tennis input as much as possible. Even though he might enjoy his new role, fans, on the other hand, recently found a way to joke about him being a tweener.

Recently, several pictures of fans from the Australian Open came to light, among which, one had a special connection with the Australian tennis star. But along with that, it also had a Drake reference. It was the popular Drake meme that can seriously never get old. However, it was not the rapper in the picture; it was Kyrgios’ face.

In that meme, the former 13th-ranked tennis player was seen saying no to a ‘proper forehand’ but, on the other hand, appreciating being a ‘tweener’. Looking into the picture, it won’t be wrong to say that fans clearly made fun of him for not focusing on the actual goal and considering himself to be in between two recognized categories in a sport.

Interestingly enough, tennis fans have also appreciated Kyrgios’ input as a commentator. However, just a few months ago, as he was ready to take on this new role, his gorgeous girlfriend also dropped a one-word encouraging message for him.

A few months ago, Kyrgios debuted as a tennis commentator at the ATP finals, surprising everyone before his athletic comeback. At that time, one of his biggest admirers on and off the tennis court, his girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi, commented on an Instagram post that talked about his new role.

She commented on the post with an encouraging one-word message, “Yayyy,” followed by two red hearts. She even tagged Kyrgios’ official Instagram account. While her encouragement was quite evident on social media, she has always been on the side of the Australian player with whatever decision he has taken for himself as a player.

Fans will continue to bounce between admiration and mockery when it comes to Nick Kyrgios and his new role. However, what are your thoughts on the Kyrgios-Drake meme?
