Nick Kyrgios has never shied away from controversy, and the Australian made headlines again when he revealed his career plans after he hangs up his racket.
The World No.45 was featured in a promotional video for the Sony Playstation 5, during which he made some surprising statements about his post-retirement plans.
"When I reach 10 years spent at the professional level, I think I will try to make the switch and become a gamer," Kyrgios stated. "I think I'm good enough to be able to play that, but I just need to dedicate myself to this."

Based on his current age of 25 years, this could mean that Kyrgios plans on retiring when he turns 28. The Aussie chose not to partake in any ATP tournaments following the Tour's restart, citing the uncertainty around the Covid-19 pandemic.
Furthermore, Kyrgios also made a rather bold claim, stating "I think I'm the best tennis player on the Tour. Athletes are generally very confident and think they can play well too, but not everyone can."
The Australian has won six career ATP singles titles, with his best Grand Slam performances coming at the quarterfinals of the 2014 Wimbledon Championships and 2015 Australian Open.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
