Here's what Nick Kyrgios is cooking ahead of Roland Garros doubles return
The Aussie opened up about the origins of his love for food on an episode of VIP Tennis Lounge with Garbiñe Muguruza.
It’s no secret Nick Kyrgios is a bit of a foodie.
The Aussie famously brought a full plate of sushi to a Wimbledon press conference, chowing down as he answered questions; he’s featured renowned chef Gordon Ramsay on an episode of his show Good Trouble and his social media has featured location tags from some of the best restaurants around the world.
On a recent episode of VIP Tennis Lounge with Garbiñe Muguruza, Kyrgios opened up about the origins of his love for food—and revealed the extent of his skills in the kitchen.

“My mom’s Malaysian, so she’s a very good cook. She made me watch her in the kitchen when I was young, so I actually can cook a little bit!” Kyrgios told former No. 1 Muguruza, when asked if there are any dishes he can make on the spot.
“I’d probably make fried rice or noodles, that stuff I can actually cook.”
Sharing good food with his loved ones is also the perfect combination for cheering up the former Wimbledon finalist after a tough day:
“When you lose you feel pretty bad, but then you realize our lives are very amazing, we travel the world,” he reflected. “So you just try to remind yourself that we can go to a nice restaurant and enjoy our time together.”
Kyrgios is currently gearing up for his first tournament back in action since March, as he features in the preliminary entry list for men’s doubles at Roland Garros alongside countryman Jordan Thompson.
