Nick Kyrgios may have picked up a few tricks of the trade from Lleyton Hewitt before defeating Fernando Verdasco in three sets in Montreal on Tuesday. The 34-year-old Hewitt was making his final trip to the Rogers Cup, and has already began to prepare for life after the ATP World Tour.

 

“[Hewitt] is definitely not my coach, but he’s definitely helping me out as a mentor. He’s taking time out from his own career and his own family to come here and help myself and Thanasi and I think that’s really good. Not only to have a really good coach, but to have that person I can ask any questions and to lead me in the right direction, I think that’s really good,” said Kyrgios. Hewitt will be working with Kyrgios in Montreal and on an ongoing basis during the North American hard-court swing.

 

With Hewitt expected to move into coaching after the 2016 Australian Open, the country’s rich tennis tradition appears to be in good hands. The former World No. 1 not only has the Davis Cup experience and the Grand Slam pedigree to make the most of his opportunity, but he can also count on the trust and support of his future charges.

 

“I feel we all have a really good friendship. Lleyton’s probably the person I most respect. When he’s going to hopefully one day take over the [Davis Cup] captaincy, I’d probably run through a brick wall for him,” said Kyrgios, who is slated to play doubles with Hewitt against Gael Monfils and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga later Tuesday.

“Plenty of laughs for #kyrgios and #Hewitt in there doubles match last night but they lost 5-7 4-6 to #tsonga and #monfils….. #rogerscup #montreal #doubles” – Photo by @tennis_phil via Instagram.
