Rising Aussie tennis star Nick Kyrgios had a little Q&A session with his fans on Twitter on Oct. 27. He had an hour to spare and took his best effort to answer the questions of his social media followers.
Kyrgios' fans had asked him silly questions such as if he is willing to be in a relationship with a fan or if he is looking forward for the NBA season. His Twitter followers also asked him who he thinks is the hottest female tennis player, which he refused to answer saying that there just too many hot female athletes right now making it difficult for him to choose.
During the course of the Q&A session, Kyrgios has praised tennis great Roger Federer quite a few times. When a fan asked him who he thinks has the best forehand, backhand, serve, and volley in the men's game, he said that the Swiss, alongside Andres Agassi, Pete Sampras, and Pat Cash are the best ones. Another fan asked who his favourite superhero is, and he said that it's Federer. Kyrgios said that he would like to play doubles with the 17-time Swiss Grand Slam champion.
On the topic of his top three professional tennis athletes from whom he learns the most by watching, Kyrgios said that it would be Federer, Andy Murray, and Rafael Nadal. Kyrgios described Federer as the greatest of all time. He is excited about the outcome of the tournament in Paris and if Federer will finish his season ranked first in the world.
As for Kyrgios career, he said that he is looking forward for "improvements, the slams, and staying healthy." His goal for the 2015 season is to play and try to achieve great feats. Visit Kyrgios' official account on Twitter to read the full transcript of his Q&A session with the fans.
