When it comes to Nick Kyrgios, people usually imagine an arrogant, rude, and volatile personality that is very rude. But, is it really the same with the Australian superstar?

Not only this, he also went ahead to reveal an incident when he met his girlfriend for the first time. Nick revealed what were the thoughts that were running down her girlfriend’s mind after their first meeting.

In a recent interview, Nick Kyrgios opened up on how people see him as a figure, especially assumptions made before meeting him. He revealed that in Australia, he’s often seen as ‘arrogant,’ ‘crazy,’ and ‘volatile.’ Kyrgios admitted the challenge of tackling these misconceptions whenever he meets someone new.

While going ahead in the interview, he revealed that he asked his girlfriend what she first thought of him, and her answer matched those assumptions. It hit him hard because he realized that’s how people worldwide might picture him if they hadn’t met him. Kyrgios finds it hard having to fight against these ideas every time he meets someone new. It makes it tricky to form real connections when people think these things about him before even saying hello.

“I use my girlfriend as an example. So my reputation in Australia is like arrogant. He’s crazy. He’s volatile. And having those three things when you’re meeting a person for the first time, they’re probably three pretty rough things to like, already assume of someone. So I had to prove every time I meet someone new, I have to kind of prove to them that’s not me. And so I asked her what was the first three things you came to mind? And then she told me those three things. So that’s about everyone in the world that hasn’t met before, assumes I am. And that’s that’s pretty brutal,” said Kyrgios in the interview.

Thus, these revelations by Nick Kyrgios reveal the kind of personality that he is and what he has often been depicted by media. If not for meeting him in person, many would typically assume that he is the same arrogant personality that is often seen in the media.
