Nick Kyrgios is on his way to greatness (well at least it seems so) and he definitely needs a mentor to helping him in the process. In his early years also Lleyton Hewitt was well known for his temperament, so there is no better person to guide the young Australian.
Kyrgios. How Lleyton is helping me…
During a recent interview nick explained how Hewitt is contributing to his career “I’ve spent a lot of time with Lleyton already and he helped me out throughout last year,” Kyrgios said.
“Every time there is a week when I’m together with him we can always sit down and catch up.If he sees anything that I can improve on, he’ll for sure speak up about it and I’m hitting with him today. I think we have a bit of a tight connection.”
… I have always been emotional
Nick added “I’ve always been an emotional guy and I wear my heart on my sleeve. Every time I go out there I just want to win and that’s going to be the objective my whole career. I’ve got no regrets but I knew it was going to be a rollercoaster. I’m a young dude in his career still growing into trying to be more mature.
