Nick Kyrgios never fails to steal the limelight, does he? The controversial Australian star caused a massive uproar on social media with his comments moments after pulling out of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships. The 28-year-old, who reached the finals at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament last year, was aiming to go one step higher this year. However, his shock exit ended his hopes of a comeback of sorts. Kyrgios had already missed the Australian and the French Open this year.
Other than the Grand Slams, the Australian star has been having a quiet year as far as his professional commitments are concerned. Injuries playing their part, Kyrgios has played in just one tournament in 2023, losing in the first round. Recently, he caught the eyes of netizens with a shocking move.

Days before, the 28-year-old took to social media to share a new tattoo he got with his fans. Going shirtless, he showed off the Pokémon tattoo on his back. It sent his picture viral and many fans commented on it. Amongst them was popular tennis influencer, Rachel Stuhlmann.
Stuhlmann was present on the latest episode of Cracked Racquets podcast where she was asked to comment about Kyrgios’ latest tattoo. Replying to this, she said, “I have said before that I think Nick is one of the most fashionable guys.” Further, talking about his shirtless post, Stuhlmann said, “I think that if I saw a guy like him take his shirt off and see his huge Pokemon tattoo on his back I would be really concerned.”
Lastly, she concluded by saying, “I would have a lot of questions. I’m not sure about the tat, but as long as he’s happy, I’m happy for him.” Showing off the tattoo video on his official Instagram handle, Kyrgios revealed that he’s joining the Pokemon gang as he thanked tattoo artist Ganga.
