And the photo has nothing at all to do with his achievements on the court, it’s a photo of the 28-year-old and a young fan from the US Open.

As he walked around signing autographs, the Canberra native encountered the young fan who had alopecia.

Kyrgios shared an image of the moment to his Instagram account on Tuesday, thankful somebody had captured it.

“US Open a couple years ago …. this young fan was sitting courtside and watched my entire match,” Kyrgios captioned the photo.

“After I finished I went up to him and noticed he was nervous and as I approached him he was a little insecure about his condition.

“I told him my brother had the exact same condition and he lives a beautiful life, as soon as I told him this his eyes lit up and I could tell from that moment on he had a different outlook and he didn’t feel alone.

“One of my favourite moments in my entire career, blessed someone captured this moment.”

The moment came during the 2019 edition of the American Grand Slam after Kyrgios had recorded a second-round win over Antoine Hoang.

Kyrgios’ brother Christos tied the knot with longtime partner Alicia Gowans in an intimate ceremony.

Nick was on board as Christos’ groomsman for the nuptials, rocking a beige suit while his older brother wore a cream suit jacket.

Tensions between tennis’ bad boy and Alicia reached breaking point two years ago when she was ordered out of his players box during the Australian Open.

In his first round encounter, Nick turned to his entourage and ordered Gowans, a world champion bodybuilder, out.

“Tell your girlfriend out of my box,” he proclaimed.

That’s all a thing of the past now with Gowans officially becoming a member of the Kyrgios family.

Kyrgios found himself in the limelight last weekend when his mother was allegedly held at gunpoint as a man stole his bright green tesla.

ACT Police said a 32-year-old Canberra man threatened Mr Kyrgios’ mother Noralia with a long-barrel gun and demanded she hand over the keys to her son’s $191,000 Tesla at about 8:30am.

Mr Kyrgios is said to have tracked his car via the Tesla app and imposed a speed limit which allowed police to find and follow the vehicle.

ACT police raided a property in Canberra’s south on Tuesday afternoon as a part of their investigations into the incident.
