Statement of Kyrgios on a podcast with his friend Elliot Loney.
"My goal is not to win Grand Slams. I just want to play my way, have fun, and play," said Kyrgios, who had recently admitted to beating Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Masters 1000 after a massive hangover.
"I don't think my body can handle seven matches in a Grand Slam, potentially playing three or four hours in each match. If I could, I would like to go for beers after playing. I just want to relax. I think the sport takes itself too seriously."
In addition, Kyrgios pointed out that he does not see the need to hire a coach because "it's a waste of money," as they "charge too much."
"Hiring a coach for me doesn't make sense because I don't want to waste their time either. I don't think a coach is ready, and I'm not going to put them through that because it would be a nightmare," said the Australian.
"At this point in my career, it's too advanced for a coach because I have my quirks, and honestly, I don't want to listen to advice," he added.
Kyrgios also recalled his childhood as one of the reasons why he is the way he is.
"There were many people giving their opinions on what I had to do and say, and those comments sometimes hurt. I was just a kid who wanted to play and compete, and then you had coaches and teachers telling you at 14 or 15 that you had to lose weight or you wouldn't be good," argued Kyrgios.
"It was very difficult to deal with. I just wanted to prove them wrong. I wanted to go out there, like a chubby kid from Canberra who was good at hitting the ball, and literally play with the best in the world," he added.
