Tennis player Nick Kyrgios of Australia is the first person to sign with Naomi Osaka’s recently established Evolve agency.
The six-time ATP Tour winner’s brand alliances, financial ventures, and philanthropic pursuits will now be managed by Evolve, which will also look for chances to support athlete-owned companies.
Four-time grand slam winner Osaka left IMG in May to start her own business with her agent Stuart Duguid, hoping to have complete control over her business endeavors.
Kyrgios and Osaka have been enjoying themselves while playing ping pong together, and it appears that they were both extremely happy and excited. Both players also tried playing double in ping pong and were good to hit some shots.
Osaka shared this on her Instagram and wrote: “Thanks for the memories.”
