“From the beginning of my career, there was an image of me based on what I did on the pitch,” he criticized the long-standing discussions about his personality. “An image that doesn’t match who I am at all.”
His recipe for success is hidden behind his behavior. According to Kyrgios, an athlete must have a second personality in order to be successful: “One on the pitch and one off the pitch.”
The reason is simple: “You can’t be super nice or super generous all the time on the pitch. If I were like that, I’d be a lousy opponent,” he clarified.

In early July, Kyrgios clashed with his counterpart Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round match at Wimbledon. At that time, the “psychic duel” between the two hotheads made headlines. However, such incidents cannot be linked to his personality: “What you see of me on the court does not correspond to my values. And the people who spend a lot of time with me know that too,” emphasized Kyrgios.
