Nick Krygios was born on April 27, 1995, and is 28 years old as of July 2023.

Krygios is currently ranked No. 33 in singles and No. 59 in doubles, despite having a career high of 13 in singles and 11 in doubles. He has won seven ATP Tour singles titles, including the 2019 and 2022 Washington Open, and has advanced to eleven finals, including two Masters 1000 finals at the 2017 Cincinnati Masters and a major final at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.

He won the 2022 Australian Open in doubles alongside Thanasi Kokkinakis. In 2023, Nick Kyrgios was scheduled to represent Australia in the United Cup. However, he withdrew on the day of the tournament due to an ankle injury. On January 13, Kyrgios participated in an exhibition match in a Fast4 format against Novak Djokovic at Rod Laver Arena. To a sold-out crowd, Kyrgios defeated Djokovic in three sets.

Kyrgios withdrew from the 2023 Australian Open because of a knee injury just a few days later. He disclosed that an arthroscopic procedure will be needed to remove a cyst brought on by a tear in his lateral meniscus.

Is Nick Krygios a controversial player?

Kyrgios is a controversial player whose matches have included "epic displays of ranting, racquet-wrecking, and trash-talking," despite praise for his entertaining style of play.

For his volatile on-court behavior, Kyrgios has received more fines than any other ATP player in history, according to Tennishead magazine. He has insulted the crowd, the umpires, and opponents.

Was Nick Krygios depressed?

Krygios received a wildcard entry to Wimbledon at the age of 19, when he was ranked 144th in the world, and defeated Rafael Nadal in the fourth round. That win garnered attention on a global scale.

"You're the next big thing in tennis," they kept telling him. Kyrgios acknowledges that he was unsure of how to handle the pressure. On the "Turn Up the Talk" podcast, he said, "I kept trying, trying, and trying, and just ended up snowballing into this dark cloud."

Things got so bad for him that Kyrgios posted on Instagram that he had suicidal thoughts, self-harmed, and suffered from depression in 2018.

"[I] was probably drinking 20 to 30 drinks every night - you know, just in my room on my own - waking up [and] playing." Kyrgios said that "winning tournaments seemed to 'just mask all of it', which was the 'darkest thing ever'. He saw about three or four different psychologists during this period.
