Recently, the 27-year-old appeared on a podcast and answered various questions regarding his career and life. While they took up fan queries, there was one very interesting yet funny question awaiting Kyrgios.
What happens to all the fines that Nick Kyrgios pays?
Being the kind of player he is, Kyrgios keeps landing himself in trouble due to his behavior on-court. During his career, the 27-year-old has paid a fair sum of money as fines imposed by ATP on him.
While a fan wondered about the money that he must have lost by now in fines, the Aussie replied that all that money goes to charity.
“Well, all the fines that I get fined goes to charity. So that’s fine,” he said.
Further, in a funny way, he wondered why ATP officials keep telling him about it.
“So every time that we get fined, they are like it is going to charity. I am like, why are you telling me that?” he added.
People might hate him or love him, but he surely is an entertainer, and it’s always exciting to see him in action.
