Nick Kyrgios reveals who he would pick from the Big 3 to do a movie with
Nick Kyrgios, the bad boy of tennis, picked Roger Federer from the Big 3 as his choice to do a movie with. The 20-time Grand Slam singles winner bid adieu to the sport at the Laver Cup in London last month.
On Saturday, Kyrgios took to Instagram to post a series of stories along with an interactive session with his fans. When asked who he would choose to do a movie with among the "Big 3" of tennis, Kyrgios chose the Swiss maestro.
"The hangover with Roger Federer," Kyrgios stated on Instagram.
The Australian also shed some light on whether he would continue to play tennis when he turns 30 years old, saying that he would prefer not to as he wishes to be in the Bahamas instead.
"Honestly probably not. I wanna be able to not be bothered. probs gonna go to my house in the Bahamas and just sit and do nothing," Kyrgios said.
When asked to describe tennis in three words, he said:
"Lonely, repetitive, and unique."
When asked to name his biggest inspiration, the 27-year-old named himself stating that he is proud to be doing well on the tour despite dealing with many controversies.
"Me honestly. All the bullshit I have dealt with and gone through and I am still standing," Kyrgios captioned his story.
