Australian tennis player Alex de Miñaur wanted to come out in defense of his compatriot Nick Kyrgios, one of the most controversial tennis players in tennis today both on and off the courts.
In an interview with the television program Australia Today's Show, De Miñaur wanted to downplay Kyrgios's 'bad boy' image with this confession. “Nick Kyrgios is one of the nicest guys on the circuit. He's a person who, whatever the problem, is always going to have your back.”
De Miñaur himself recounts his experience with his compatriot, with whom he has played in the Davis Cup and from whom he has received support since his beginnings in tennis.“I've been lucky enough to be with him in the Davis Cup qualifiers and get to know him better and even play with him side by side. He's one of those guys who has always had confidence in me and always, since I was a junior, he told me to believe in myself and to show it “
De Miñaur believes that Kyrgios is misunderstood and says he is willing to help anyone who has problems. “Kyrgios is very misunderstood but he is one of the nicest guys on the circuit and he will always have your back.”
