MELBOURNE - An unlikely hero of his country’s bushfire relief efforts, Nick Kyrgios enters the Australian Open on a rare surge of goodwill from a sports-loving public long infuriated by his failure to convert talent into trophies.
The 24-year-old has raised thousands off his own racquet after pledging A$200 for every ace he bashes down in the home summer but it his efforts away from the court that have caught they eye. Kyrgios has long had an army of social media detractors poised to take issue with every misstep but he has never had trouble attracting a crowd at Melbourne Park or indeed any tennis event he cares to sign up for.“All my practices are pretty full. I think people are excited to see me.
The ensuing five years have had their moments, with six titles and some brilliant wins over the ‘Big Three’ of Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
