"How much can I pay you to coach me" jokes Nick Kyrgios to Jannik Sinner after Australian Open win

Former world number 10 Nick Kyrgios joked with Italy’s young tennis star Jannik Sinner and asked him how much he would charge to coach him.

The 22-year-old recently clinched his first Grand Slam title in Melbourne where he defeated the current world number three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in a five-set thriller with a score of 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.

In a video that appeared on the social media platform Instagram, Kyrgios asked Sinner in a non-serious manner about how much he would charge to become his coach.

"Hey Jannik, well done, you are a Grand Slam champion. My question is: how much can I pay you to be my coach and be able to win a Slam?" asked the Australian tennis star.

In response to that, Sinner, while laughing, stated that he could do it for free just but also said that the tennis world needs more players like Kyrgios.

I miss you and also you are a potential Grand Slam champion – I think you know that!"
