It’s been a while since Nick Kyrgios grabbed the attention of the fans with his stellar prowess as well as his controversial antics on the court. The Aussie tennis star has been away from the men’s circuit due to his wrist and knee injuries that he picked up at the start of this season. During this season, the controversial player has already pulled out of various important tournaments and has been limited to just one match so far.

Amidst this adverse phase, the 28-year-old player has now come forward to issue a bold statement about his competitive tennis journey. While candidly speaking about his current priorities, the ‘bad boy of tennis’ recently dropped a major retirement hint.

Nick Kyrgios candidly speaks about how age is catching up to him

The 2022 Wimbledon runner-up is currently on the Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) tour in Los Angeles. Amidst his injury woes, Nick Kyrgios has now made his coaching debut as he has teamed up with the American tennis star, Frances Tiafoe. While speaking about his campaign in the radical league, the controversial player made a bold assertion about his longevity in competitive tennis.

It was recently brought to light by the official Instagram page of the UTS, which uploaded a video clip of Kyrgios’ back-and-forth conversation. The Aussie said, “The schedule is out of control, bro!! I’m getting old. 28. But with all the drinking and partying, I’m 57,”  emphasizing his current priorities.

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old player also asserted that he does not see himself on the ATP Tour for another five years as he suggested age is catching up to him. Kyrgios added, “33 is insane. I’m not playing till I’m 33. Once I’m gone, you’ll never see me again.”

Later, the ‘bad boy of tennis’ didn’t hold himself back from talking about his post-retirement plans.
