The 28-year-old Australian tennis player succumbed to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final in 2022, but was sidelined for most of last season due to injuries. He barely played an official singles match in 2023.
His plan to interact with the public on OnlyFans was announced on Thursday in a statement and confirmed by Evolve, the talent agency created by Naomi Osaka and that represents Kyrgios. He is one of the most famous male athletes to join the platform.
“Social networks are revolutionized and I want to be part of it. We athletes cannot limit ourselves to jumping onto a track or field. We must also be online. I want to create, produce, direct and own content. That’s the future”Kyrgios said, quoted in the statement.
And he added: “Games, tattoos, my intimate side: everything is on the table. I will share this journey with my fans.”
London-based OnlyFans is a subscription platform where people pay creators for photos and videos. Includes explicit sexual content, something that Kyrgios will not publish.
It just got a whole lot crazier… join me on onlyfans! It’s free to subscribe for everyone! Everything from behind the scenes to on court and everyday life. See you all there. Link in bio pic.twitter.com/QG0Jb0ducP

“Nick is an innovator, it’s great to have him join our platform, finding new ways to share his content and express himself”said Keily Blairthe executive director of OnlyFans.
Kyrgios is famous for being outspoken off the court, speaking openly about his mental health, and for his outlandish behavior when playing, which has led to sanctions from tennis authorities. He owns some of the most powerful serves on the circuit and has shown that he has the ability to beat the best, such as Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
He reached his best ranking in October 2016, ranking 13th in the world. He is currently unranked due to his prolonged absence. He has seven individual titles and has amassed more than 12 million dollars in prizes.
Kyrgios teamed up with his compatriot and friend Thanasi Kokkinakis to take the Australian Open doubles title in 2022.
