Nick Kyrgios is one of the best tennis players in the history of Australia, and besides his skills on the court, the former Wimbledon finalist is also known for his interesting statements.

One of such statements was made on the “Make Noise” podcast, where Kyrgios expressed that he would one day like to play basketball in Europe and be among the athletes who were good at a professional level in two different sports.

“I want to play professional basketball at some point. One of my next career goals is to be a professional in two sports. When my tennis story ends, I would like to play professional basketball somewhere in Europe. I want to be one of those athletes who have played professionally in two sports at a serious level.”

The 31-year-old tennis player has never hidden his love for basketball; he has often stated before that his first wish was to engage in this sport, that he loves to watch it, and it would certainly be interesting to see Nick on the basketball courts.
