Nick Kyrgios' net worth, Novak Djokovic U-turn, retirement stance

Nick Krygios has returned to tennis

Tennis sensation Nick Kyrgios has experienced a setback on his return to the court after an 18-month hiatus. The Australian star, who recently delighted fans with a doubles match alongside Novak Djokovic at the Brisbane International, suffered defeat in a singles match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. It has been a tough time for Kyrgios, who underwent serious wrist surgery in June 2023. His singles defeat in Brisbane means his sole focus will be on winning the doubles tournament with one-time rival Djokovic. Known for his outspoken nature and dazzling court performances, Kyrgios remains one of tennis's most divisive figures. Express Sport delves into the life of this intriguing player both on and off the court.

Nick Kyrgios Net worth Despite his lengthy absence due to injury, the former Wimbledon finalist boasts an estimated net worth of between £5.9million and £7.4million, thanks to lucrative sponsorship deals with Yonex, Nike, and watch brand Aventi. The 29-year-old has also ventured into the world of YouTube with his show 'Good Trouble', featuring guests like Mike Tyson and Gordon Ramsay. As for his earnings from tennis, the ATP ranks Kyrgios 71st on the all-time prize money list with £9.2m, placing him just below US tennis legend John McEnroe. However, Kyrgios, known for his fiery personality, has also faced the financial consequences of his actions, losing tie-ups with key sponsors. Malaysian Airlines dropped him in 2016 after a controversial Shanghai Masters exit resulted in a suspension, and Australian clothing brand Bonds ditched Kyrgios due to his foul language in 2015.

Novak Djokovic feud There was a time when Krgios and Djokovic teaming up together felt inconcievable. Their feud first bubbled up in 2019 when Kyrgios confessed his distaste for Djokovic: "I just feel like he has a sick obsession, wanting to be liked," he said. "He just wants to be like Roger [Federer]. He just wants to be liked so much that I just can't stand him." The bad blood thickened as Kyrgios labeled Djokovic's exhibition event in 2020 a "boneheaded decision" during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, by standing up for Djokovic during his vaccination controversy before the 2022 Australian Open, Kyrgios began to buiid bridges with the 24-time Grand Slam winner. At Wimbledon the same year, Djokovic admitted their burgeoning friendship: "I never thought I was going to say so many nice things about you, considering the relationship. OK, it's officially a bromance." Kyrgios recently admitted that the two have been exchanging daily messages, setting the stage for their doubles pairing."We promised we'd do this one time before either he goes or I go," professed Kyrgios on the cusp of the Brisbane International.

Influencer girlfriend and Sydney apartment Off the court, Kyrgios is known to have been in a relationship with Costeen Hatzi since December 2021. She is an influencer who boasts 175k Instagram followers and owns Style Studio Dress Hire. The couple settled into a Sydney penthouse in late 2022. Kyrgios' injury meant he had plenty of time to make the place feel like home and the couple often document their life together online. Kyrgios shelled out approximately £1.3m for their three-bedroom apartment in May 2022. It includes double-height windows and a rooftop terrace, which offer breathtaking views of Sydney, alongside a gaming room, home gym, and an outdoor pool.
