Tennis fans recently received a delightful surprise as Nick Kyrgios, the tennis star known for his on-court controversies and powerful play, has stepped into the world of tennis commentary at the Tennis Channel. As soon as this happens, the 28-year-old is giving regular updates on his thoughts about different co-players that he has competed with, and the ones he has played along.

Recently, a video rolled out on the internet that showed Kyrgios walking through a corridor that had posters of several tennis legends like Roger Federer, Ashleigh Barty, and Serena Williams. As the Aussie kept stopping against each poster to share his experiences and opinions, the session proved to be quite engaging among the fans.

When he passed by the poster of the tennis legend Serena Williams, he couldn’t resist sharing his thoughts about the time when he played mixed doubles with the tennis legend. “Serena Williams, arguably in the goat conversation as well, probably right there. I’ve played mixed doubles with her. She was very bossy on the court. I mean, confident. And I had to listen to her!” Kyrgios mentioned, along with adding a humorous response to sharing the court with one of the greatest tennis players of all time.

As the tennis star opened up about his unfiltered thoughts on Serena, fans took it as a great surprise. Kyrgios’s shift to commentary has made a fresh impact on the Tennis Channel’s popularity as well as on Nick’s opinions of the players.

Kyrgios’ on-court experience with Serena Williams

Nick Kyrgios, the 28-year-old who is now gracing the Tennis Channel with his commentary spice, has spoken about his on-court partnership with the tennis legend Serena Williams earlier as well. Back in 2021, Kyrgios gave his voice to a podcast as he shared the details of their 2014 doubles match at the International Premier Tennis League. While he got a chance to open up about the memorable team-up, he ended up describing the experience as “uncomfortable.”

Kyrgios and Williams faced off against Kirsten Flipkens and Daniel Nestor as they teamed up for the Singapore Slammers for a match that concluded with a score of 6-3. The 28-year-old Aussie, who has never been shy to open up about his inner thoughts, revealed that the discomfort developed from a belief that he was the superior player on the court.

“I’ve hit with Serena before. I played mixed doubles with her at IPTL, and it was the most uncomfortable experience for me because she was trying to do everything. And I was like ‘I’m better than you,’” Kyrgios shared on a podcast, as he gave a sarcastic glimpse into the opportunity of playing beside the 23-time Grand Slam champion.
