Tennis Player Nick Kyrgios Says that He Does NOT Abstain from Intercourse Before Matches

Nick Kyrgios, who is ranked 30th in the world by the ATP, did an interview with GQ Australia. As documented by the Herald Sun, Kyrgios does not subscribe to the common notion in sports that one must abstain from sex before games or matches. “I don’t abide by that at all,” he said. (In 2011, Andy Murray made a similar pronouncement.)

In the interview, Kyrgios also said that some of the best players on the tour “have a lot of girls,” but that word can travel around quickly, and, consequently, he doesn’t “mess with any tennis chicks.”
