Nick Kyrgios has spoken about how long he wants to keep playing tennis.
The Australian has been on the ATP Tour for more than a decade and has become one of the most controversial players in tennis history.
With racket in hand he is a dangerous player that possesses fearsome groundstrokes and a thunderous serve.
But time may be running out for fans to see the 2022 Wimbledon finalist perform as discussed his future in the sport.
How much longer does Nick Kyrgios plan to play tennis?
Nick Kyrgios has begun to share his thoughts on tennis via the realms of podcasts and television commentary over the past year.
Kyrgios was commentating for the BBC at Wimbledon and conducted some post-match interviews at the US Open.
This may be a career the 29-year-old pursues full-time after he retires, and he could make the decision to hang up his racket sooner rather than later.
“I don’t want to play for too much longer, maybe one or two more years. So yeah, I mean I’m enjoying it, like being I guess, older on the tour,” Kyrgios told the Tennis Insider Club podcast.
“You got guys like Carlos Alcaraz at 21, winning Grand Slams, and I feel like I’ve been on the tour now for like 11-12 years. I think my body can’t take much more.”
When was Nick Kyrgios’ last match?
Kyrgios has not played a competitive match since the 2023 Stuttgart Open, where he lost to Yibing Wu in the first round.
He suffered multiple injury issues over the past year and has played just once since November 2022.
He did compete in a doubles exhibition match alongside four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka on the eve of the US Open.
They took on the American pair of Taylor Fritz and Canadian Open finalist Amanda Anisimova at the Mixed Madness exhibition event, and lost the set 6-2.
