Klein Believes Steady Relationship May Help Kyrgios Turn Around Career
Tennis - Former Australian Open junior champion Brydan Klein says that Australian Nick Kyrgios can turn his career around and perhaps helping a partner to share his experiences with on the road maybe a possible solution. In an interview with The Daily Mail, Klein comments, "Kyrgios is one of the most talented players of the last decade. When he cocks up and does something stupid, I know he regrets it. Same as I did when I was young. When you are hot headed, late at night you stay awake really wishing you could change the day around. I think Nick gets homesick and doesn't like the grind of the tour week-in, week-out. He has to find a way of travelling and enjoying it. He likes the buzz of playing big matches, if he can find something outside the tournaments to like, you'll see his talent more consistently.'
Klein says having a girlfriend and a stable relationship may help Kyrgios with the grind of the professional circuit. "If Nick has a stable girlfriend he can travel and share experiences with, it will help a great deal. He is playing in all these great cities, New York, Rome, Paris. Share the experience with someone who cares about you and can take his mind away from the tennis. A lot of people have their partners travel on tour for that reason and you don't want to let them down on court. Kyro has tried basketball and other things but then it's said he should be practising his tennis instead! You can shoot hoops when you want but you also need to train properly as well.'
Klein was known for his own emotional outbursts during his career and perhaps knows what it is like for the young Australian.
