Nick Kyrgios, the Australian tennis player known for his controversial behavior, has been working as a commentator for the BBC during this year's Wimbledon tournament. However, his attention was caught by a heartwarming moment when Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, returned to the tournament on Sunday after being unable to attend the women's singles final the day before. This was only her second public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer.
As the Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Kate is a huge fan of the sport and her return was met with delight by many fans. Kyrgios, who was a runner-up in the 2022 men's singles, was also happy to see her back on the court. In fact, he even offered to coach her, joking that it would be more fun than being coached by Roger Federer, whom she had previously hit with.
Despite his reputation as a bad boy in the sport, Kyrgios was dressed in a smart-looking suit for the occasion. During his commentary on the BBC, he admitted that he can be a bit volatile at times, but with a lot of time on his hands due to an injury, he would be more than happy to coach Kate.
Interestingly, Kyrgios had been hitting in practice with Novak Djokovic, the eventual winner of the tournament, and the world number one had some positive things to say about his performance. According to Djokovic, Kyrgios is hitting the ball as well as ever and even joked that he may make a comeback at the US Open. However, he also mentioned that Kyrgios is still dealing with a wrist injury that affects his serve.
It seems that Kyrgios is not only impressing as a commentator, but also as a player during practice sessions. And with his offer to coach Kate, it seems that he has a soft spot for the British royal. Perhaps we will see more of Kyrgios, both on and off the court, in the near future.
