Emma Raducanu roots for ‘NK’ – Nick Kyrgios reacts

Published by

Nick Kyrgios is set to take on Rafael Nadal in the semi-final of Wimbledon 2022 – following a dream run in the tournament

Nick Kyrgios seems to have found another high-profile fan in the form of Emma Raducanu. After Kyrgios defeated Garin in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, the 19-year-old took to Twitter and wrote the Australian’s initials “NK”, alongside a wizard’s wand emoji.

Raducanu was knocked out of this year’s Wimbledon in the second round, but it seems the British teenager has still found time to watch the competition after her exit.

Kyrgios was quick to thank Raducanu for the support. “Appreciate the support“, the Australian star replied in response to Raducanu’s tweet.

Nick Kyrgios has certainly impressed one and all with his sublime display of tennis so far at Wimbledon. Kyrgios has already achieved his best-ever result in a Grand Slam in a long time. The last time the 40th-ranked player reached the last eight at a major was at the Australian Open in 2015, a year after he reached the same stage on his debut at the All England Club.

Things don’t seems to be as smooth off the court for Kyrgios

Despite Kyrgios’ performance finally doing the talking on the court, controversies never seem to leave Kyrgios. The Australian is facing assault charges at an Australian court amidst his dream run at the Wimbledon.
