Kyrgios imagines his post-career life: "Four, five kids and smoking a joint in the Bahamas".

Nick Kyrgios will be in the spotlight on Monday when he takes on Jacob Fearnley in the 1st round of the Australian Open.

The Australian, who will be playing in Melbourne for the first time in three years, opened up in an unfiltered interview with L'Equipe, in which he describes his dream retirement, far from the world of tennis:

"My aim has always been to retire around the age of 30. I'd like to have a family by then, spend time with them and enjoy all the hard work I've put in.

In ten years' time, I see myself having a big family, four or five kids, and smoking a big joint in the Bahamas. Maybe go fishing. I'll never stop playing video games.

I'm working hard enough right now, in ten years I won't be working at all."

Despite his controversial image, Kyrgios says he's proud of his achievements and what he's brought to tennis: "I don't care about my reputation. I'm important to the sport because I'm totally different from other players.

My style of play is unique, I don't have a coach and I attract new fans.

I've earned millions and millions of dollars, I can support my family, my girlfriend and my friends.

My career is a great success. Regardless of the controversies, this sport has given me so much."
