Nicholas Hilmy "Nick" Kyrgios (/ˈkɪriɒs/ KEER-ee-os; born 27 April 1995) is an Australian professional tennis player. He won the boys' singles event at the 2013 Australian Open and the boys' doubles event at the 2013 Wimbledon Championships. Kyrgios' biggest achievements to date are reaching the quarterfinals of the 2014 Wimbledon Championships—defeating ATP number 1 Rafael Nadal and Richard Gasquet en route—and the quarterfinals of the 2015 Australian Open. Kyrgios and Lleyton Hewitt are the only tennis players to beat Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at their first time of asking.
Kyrgios was born in Canberra, Australia. He is the son of a Greek father, Giorgos ("George"), and a Malaysian mother, Norlaila ("Nill"), who comes from the Malaysian town of Gombak, Selangor. His father is a self-employed house painter and his mother is a computer engineer. His mother was born in Malaysia as a member of the Malaysian Royalty, but dropped her title as a princess when she moved to Australia in her twenties. He is the third of three children; his brother, Christos, is a lawyer, and his sister, Halimah, is an actress. Kyrgios attended Radford College until Year 8 and completed his Year 12 certificate in 2012 at Daramalan College in Canberra. He is of the Greek Orthodox faith and always wears a gold necklace with a cross on it.
