‘Don’t Have the Luxury’ – Nick Kyrgios and His Girlfriend Can’t Wait to Fly Back Home as He Makes His Priorities Clear at US Open 2022

Nick Kyrgios is among the boldest characters on the tennis circuit today. The 27-year-old never shies away from expressing his opinion. Earlier, the Aussie raised the issue of excessive travel for the Australian players. The world number 25 also recently gave a statement that he is tired before the start of the US Open.

After winning his first match in the US Open, he explained how Australian tennis players, including him, spend relatively longer time on the tour.

Kyrgios speaks about travel fatigue

Earlier, the 27-year-old gave a statement that he is tired. When asked about the same in the post-match press conference, the Aussie said, “I’m exhausted. 99% of the tennis tour doesn’t understand what it’s like to go on the road this long. I’m not even doing it that long than other Australians. There are other Australians that have been on the road five, six months. I’m closing in on four months.” 

Further, Kyrgios spoke about missing his home and family. “I miss home a lot. So does my girlfriend. She misses her family. Newborn baby in that family, too. We have to continue to travel and play because we don’t have the luxury of going home every week if we want to,” he said.
