Occasional Digest - a story for you

NICK KYRGIOS is never afraid to make a statement on the tennis court – and he sure makes one off it too with his stunning car collection.

The maverick tennis star is arguably the sport’s most controversial but entertaining figure – with an outrageous amount of natural talent.

Kyrgios, 27, is very public with his doting girlfriend and Sydney influencer Costeen Hatzi and is one of the key stars in Netflix’s new tennis Break Point series.

Now as he gears up for the Australian Open, his home Grand Slam, the No17 seed will be hoping to cause shockwaves once again.

And a deep run to the latter stages of the tournament will see him pocket plenty of extra prize money on top of the £10.3million career prize money earned by the end of 2022.

That may well go to expanding his already-staggering collection of luxury motors worth more than £500,000.

Dodge SRT Demon – £247,000

Kyrgios was understandably devastated when one of his friends crashed his beloved Dodge SRT Demon into a pole in Australia.

However, with it being just one of four in Australia, he got the matt black model repaired – having already switched it over to be a right-hand drive.

But in 2020, Kyrgios jazzed up the rare 808bhp car – driven by Vin Diesel in Fast and Furious – by customising it with the addition of colour-changing neon lights.

The Aussie was fuming, though, when thieves broke into the vehicle to steal Kyrgios’ wallet and clothes.

Kyrgios told the “scum” who did it: “You take my clothes, some stuff, my wallet… eventually, I’ll just cancel my cards, whatever.

“These are things I worked for. Show some f***ing respect.

“If you are so unhappy with your life, it’s not my fault.

“Just knock on my door. I’ll put food in your mouth. I can hand-feed it to you, if you like.”

Nissan R35 GTR – £163,000

Because one super-powerful super-fast car simply isn’t enough for Kyrgios.

The 2022 Wimbledon finalist also owns a Nissan R35 GTR, setting him back around £163k.

The gloss forest green model Japanese motor can do a staggering 201mph and km/h (324 mph) and reaches 60mph in just 2.7 seconds.

Tesla Model X – £102,000

The word “subtle” does not appear in Kyrgios’ dictionary, based on the third and final car of his emphatic garage.

The diehard Boston Celtics NBA fan regularly posts on Instagram pictures with the £102,000 electric car.

And his 3.3million fans will do well not to spot the Tesla… because it is bright green.

The garish colour matches that of his beloved basketball side – as well as the luscious lawns of Wimbledon.

It may not be petrol-guzzling like his Dodge or the Nissan – but the electric Tesla is still a high-performance engine.

Kyrgios’ Model X, complete with gull wing doors, can do 0-60mph in as little as 2.5 seconds and boasts a top speed of around 155mph, marginally quicker than one of his thunderous trademark serves.
