Wimbledon 2021: Nick Kyrgios ready for fun on London 'vacation'

Nick Kyrgios is ready to have some fun when he makes his competitive return at Wimbledon, with the Australian planning to "get some strawberries and chill".

As well as playing singles, he will team up with American veteran Venus Williams in the mixed doubles.

"I'm using this as a vacation," said Kyrgios, now ranked 61st in the world.

"I've been in Australia now for a year and a half. I've reached a really nice level of freedom. Nothing fazes me at all any more."

Kyrgios will play French 21st seed Ugo Humbert in the first round at the All England Club, a rematch of their thrilling five-set encounter in Melbourne which the Australian won in front of rowdy home crowd.
