Nick Kyrgios has offered to coach Kate Middleton following the Princess of Wales' emotional return to Wimbledon on Sunday. The Princess handed over the trophy to Carlos Alcaraz on Centre Court, after his victory over Novak Djokovic made it back-to-back titles on SW19 for the Spaniard. For Kate, patron of the All England Lawn Tennis club, it was just her second public appearance after her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
She was joined by daughter Princess Charlotte and her sister, Pippa Middleton , wearing a purple dress by Safiyaa and was handed a standing ovation as she made her way into the Royal Box pre-match. She was again cheered as she made her way onto Centre Court to hand over the trophy to Alcaraz. And Kyrgios, runner-up at Wimbledon in 2022 and notorious for his 'bad boy' antics, declared on commentary for BBC : "Maybe I’m a little bit too volatile.
.. But look, I’ve got a lot of time on my hands at the moment so I’m happy to coach [ Kate Middleton ].
" The Aussie, who missed this year's championships due to injury but has been hitting in practice with Djokovic, then delivered a killer punch line: "It’ll be more fun being coached by me than it would by [Roger] Federer!" Kate previously took part in some tennis sessions with the Swiss legend. Alcaraz proved too good for Djokovic with a straight sets win, in stark contrast to the pair's five-set classic 12 months ago. The 21-year-old Spaniard becomes just the second man in the open era after Roger Federer to.
