Krygios excited for first NK Foundation facility

Published Jul 27, 2018

Nick Kyrgios is proving it's never too early to start doing great things for children who may not have the chance to discover sports. He's using his foundation to build an education, sporting and living complex near Melbourne.

"I always wanted to create a facility where people can come play and choose the sport they wanted to play if they didn't have the opportunity," Kyrgios said. "It's pretty great I get to do that now."

The NK Foundation has announced plans to open a facility that has tennis courts, basketball courts, a pool, a gym and dorms, providing a safe place for underprivileged children.

Kyrgios has been involved in charity and fundraising efforts for his foundation, and others, for years.

The Australian is the second seed in Atlanta this week where he got off to a winning start over American Noah Rubin on Thursday.

The 23-year-old has endured some stops and starts in 2018 with an elbow injury, but recently reached the semifinals of Stuttgart and Queen's Club and third round of Wimbledon.
