Nick Kyrgios will be represented by former world number one Naomi Osaka

The former world number one had separated from her former agency in the spring. Together with consultant Stuart Duguid, she now wants to launch her own agency.

“When I learned that Stuart and Naomi were starting an agency focused on supporting athletes like me, it made perfect sense to join,” said Kyrgios.

“I’ve consistently tried to do things differently throughout my career and bring my whole personality to the game of tennis. I look forward to working with Stuart and Naomi to continue to build on what we started and push the game of tennis forward.” he added.

Duguid was very pleased to win the “bad boy” of the scene as a customer. “You can love him or hate him, but you can’t ignore him,” he said. “For ‘Gen Z’ and younger he is the absolute icon.”
