Nick Kyrgios is not a man to sit idle so while taking time off from playing he is promoting tennis in different, noble, ways.

Even though Nick Kyrgios is not playing tennis officially he is still finding time for tennis in other ways by promoting it through his NK Foundation. A few weeks ago Kyrgios supported the opening of a new tennis academy and now he is pledged to further support the project through his NK Foundation. Nick said:

"It’s going to give a chance for disadvantaged kids. Funding to get them out here and play together. To have another facility like this, hopefully my foundation can give kids a shot to get out there and play and hopefully they fall in love with it and something great happens. I just want to come down here and see people happy."

Canberra native Kyrgios also announced that he would establish the NK Foundation Squad at the new venue to support youths in need in the Gungahlin region. Tennis ACT CEO Kim Kachel said about the project:

"Nick is always supportive of the local tennis landscape here in Canberra and we are excited that his generosity will provide kids the opportunity to get on court through the NK Foundation."

The plans for the facility include 12 ITF specified hard courts, two Tennis Hot Shots courts, along with a multi-lined and multi-use centre court that can be utilised for other sports.
