Nick Kyrgios was quite reluctant to travel all over the world and resume his tour after the global pandemic struck the world. However, when back to business, he was lucky to have the company of his girlfriend Chara Passari when traveling to Europe (Wimbledon) and now in the US where he is about to play in Atlanta.
Nick and Chiara also had the opportunity to have a fantastic break in the Bahamas before heading to Atlanta, where the Australian player will participate in the local ATP250.
Chiara and Nick love making fun of each other and she could not resist posting a small video on Instagram of Nick being addicted to his phone.
Next vs. Kevin Anderson
Nick Kyrgios will start his campaign in Atlanta on Tuesday when he will face South African Kevin Anderson. The local fans can expect one of his shows.
