When Medvedev, who is only a year younger than Bikyer goss, has become the first post-95 men's player to win a Grand Slam, the Australian is still struggling on the road to a comeback.
Kyrgios was born in Australia in April 1995.
From the age of 15, he showed extraordinary talent for tennis, winning his first ITF Junior Championship in Fiji in the same year.
In 2011, Kyrgios began to play in full play and made his career Grand Slam junior debut at his home Australian Open.
In 2012, Kyrgios won two Grand Slam Junior Doubles titles at the French Open and Wimbledon.
In 2013, he won the championship by defeating Tannaki Kokinakis in two straight sets in the Australian Open Junior Final.
Looking at this series of dazzling results, it is difficult to imagine that Australians entering the adult competition have achieved breakthroughs in their peers and have not received any results in the Grand Slam arena.
Not only that, in recent years, due to the impact of injuries and off-field events, his performance has even declined sharply in the stage that should have belonged to the golden period of players.
In the 2021 season, a total of 7 wins and 8 losses were achieved, and the year-end ranking fell to 93rd in the world, from the previous potential rising star to almost become a top 100 players.
No wonder, recently he once again said that he wants to work hard to get back on the field in the 2022 season and stand up.
According to himself, in the first week of 2022, he chose to start the new season as a wild card player in the ATP 250 warm-up tournament held in Melbourne.
Since the Laver Cup in September, Kyrgios has withdrawn from the tour. According to himself, he has been working out in the gym, training with other players for the new season. The goal is to focus on the 2022 Australian season, especially the Australian Open.
"Obviously, I'm very happy to be playing in my hometown," Kyrgios told reporters, "Tennis Australia has done a very good job in organising the tournament, I feel very happy to be there and will definitely do my best to bring great matches to the fans." ”
In addition, he also talked about why he likes to play. In 2016, he reached the top 15 in the world in singles with three titles he won in Marseille, Atlanta and Tokyo.
He originally thought that Kyrgios would continue to improve, but this year he revealed that he was suffering from long travel, especially when his partner was not around.
"I really don't play for myself anymore," Kyrgios said in an interview, "I have the NK Foundation, and I'm actually playing for all the kids behind my back." When I see them, I think of my own lack of self-confidence when I was a child, for some reason. Therefore, my goal is to win more competitions to earn prize money and bring material help to these children. (Source: Tennis House Author: Wu Li Fun)
