Nick Kyrgios Reveals He Has Crush On ‘Step Up’ Star Briana Evigan
Aussie tennis star Nick Kyrgios has revealed his admiration for American actress and dancer Briana Evigan in a recent tweet. The 19-year-old Canberra native wasn't shy to announce his fascination to the "Step Up" star to his more than 78,000 Twitter followers.
Kyrgios said he was in love with Evigan. He added that the American actress was the only reason why he watched the 2008 sequel to the box office dance movie.

Kyrgios also made sure that his tweet will reach the actress because he included her Twitter handle in his tweet. Evigan has yet to comment on Kyrgios' blatant admiration.
Recently, Kyrgios reportedly had a flirty conversation with former World No. 1 Belarusian athlete Victoria Azarenka on Twitter on Sept. 11. Azarenka tweeted that she finds Aussie accent "sexy." Kyrgios responded and said that the Belarusian accent was equally sexy. He even added some cheeky emoticons in his reply.
That Aussie accent is just sexy

Kyrgios and Azarenka exchanged tweets again on Sept. 24. Azarenka has said that she was considering the thought of playing mixed doubles at the Australian Open in January, only she said she doesn't have a partner yet. Kyrgios replied and said he also doesn't have a partner.

In a news article by The Australian in July, Kyrgios admitted that he has no girlfriend. However, it is uncertain whether his relationship status has changed or not since making that statement two months ago.
Kyrgios last played in the Malaysian Open. He suffered an early exit to fellow compatriot Marinko Matosevic. Kyrgios blamed the pain in his left forearm for his loss. It was an injury that he has struggled with for two months, Sydney Morning Herald reported. He will undergo a 10-day rehabilitation program in Melbourne and a dedicated block of training in Canberra.
"As my career is still young, I am in no rush and have to take care of my body," Kyrgios said. "I understand it is still developing and adjusting to the increased physical demands the level of tennis I am competing at demands and I have to listen to my body if I want a long, successful, and sustained career."
Kyrgios biggest achievement in his professional tennis career was he became a quarterfinalists in the 2014 Wimbledon Championships, beating the likes of Richard Gasquet, Milos Raonic, and Rafael Nadal.
