Kyrgios has attracted offers from numerous figures wanting to work alongside him on the Tour, including John McEnroe and Boris Becker but has declined them all.

“Personally, I think (hiring a coach) is a little bit of a waste of money ‘cause I think they get paid way too much,” Kyrgios said during a podcast with Elliot Loney.

“And, for me, I don’t have a goal of winning Grand Slams. I just want to do it my way, have fun with it and just play.

“So to get a coach for me is pointless because I don’t want to waste their time almost.”

“I just don’t think a coach is ready – and I’m not going to put them through it too ‘cause it would just be a nightmare,” he explained.

“Where I’m at my career now, it’s just too far gone, I think for a coach, ‘cause I’m too set in my ways and I just don’t like to listen to advice, to be honest.”
