“My goal is not to win Grand Slams, I prefer to go for beers”

The Australian Nick Kyrgios He explained that his goal is not to win Grand Slams tournaments because his body would not hold seven matches of three or four hours and that he prefers to “have a beer” after the games.

This was stated by the tennis player in a podcast with his friend Elliot Loney. “My goal is not to win Grand Slam. I just want to play my way, have fun and play,” said Kyrgios, who had recently admitted that he had beaten Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Masters 1,000 after a big hangover. . “I don't think my body can handle seven games in a Grand Slam, potentially playing three to four hours in each game. If I could, I'd like to go out for beers after playing. I just want to relax. I think sport is taken too seriously. “

Furthermore, Kyrgios noted that you don't see the need to hire a coach because “it's a waste of money”, since they “charge too much”. “Hiring a coach for me doesn't make sense, because I don't want to waste your time either. I don't think a coach is ready and I'm not going to put them through it because it would be a nightmare. At the moment I'm in my career , it is already very advanced for a coach, because I have my hobbies and I honestly don't want to listen to advice “, added.

Kyrgios also remembered his childhood as one of the reasons why he is the way he is. “There were many people who gave their opinion on what to do and what to say, and those comments sometimes hurt. I was just a boy who wanted to play and compete and then you had coaches and teachers who at 14 or 15 years old told you that you had to lose weight or you wouldn't be good. It was very difficult to deal with. I just wanted to prove them wrong. He wanted to get out there, like a fat boy from Canberra who was good at hitting the ball and literally playing with the best in the world, “he added.
