Kyrgios Shelton

Absent from the courts since March, Nick Kyrgios continues to share his opinions on the men's circuit, ahead of his return to competition at the end of December for the 'Battle of the Sexes' against Aryna Sabalenka.

The Australian thus remains active in the media sphere, as evidenced by this interview given to Sports Illustrated and relayed by Sportskeeda.

"I see a lot of myself in his tennis"

He notably mentions the player who, in his opinion, resembles him the most on the circuit today:

"Ben Shelton is an incredible player. After the year he just had and the energy he exudes, I see a lot of myself in his tennis, in his risk-taking, and in his way of interacting with the crowd."
