Speaking on the latest episode of the ATP Tennis Radio Podcast, the mercurial Australian reminisced about his experience playing mixed doubles in the past. He remarked that he has had the good fortune of playing with many amazing players, including former World No. 1 Venus Williams at 2021 Wimbledon.
As such, Kyrgios reckons a partnership between himself and Gauff would prove entertaining for the spectators.
In the same episode of the podcast, Gauff said that she had traded hits with Kyrgios in the past. She described him as a “super funny” and “cool” person on the court and a “kind” individual off it.
Nick Kyrgios, Coco Gauff experience mixed fortunes at 2022 Australian Open
Coco Gauff suffered a shock loss in the first round of the Australian Open. The 18th seed lost to Qiang Wang in straight sets, marking her first-ever first-round exit at the tournament. The American produced an error-prone display, racking up 38 unforced errors during the course of the match.
Gauff’s campaign at the Australian Open is far from over though, as she is slated to play women’s doubles alongside compatriot Caty McNally.
The American duo will face Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk and Dayana Yastremska in their opening fixture on Thursday.
Kyrgios, meanwhile, strolled to a straight-sets victory in his opening singles match against Liam Broady. The Australian will take on World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev next.
