Tennis changed him. He became distracted, always worried about something. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople wouldn\u2019t know this but Nick and I stopped talking for quite a while. He was so unhappy in himself that he shut out the people that had his best interests at heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christos added that he had \u201cgot his baby brother back\u201d and credited Nick\u2019s girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi, for helping turn his brother\u2019s life around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince he met his girlfriend Costeen, she\u2019s helped open his eyes again. There was a lot of chaos in Nick\u2019s life before he met her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Sunday night, I believe the rest of the world will get Nick Kyrgios the Wimbledon champion. For us, we\u2019ve already got our baby brother back. Mum and Dad have got their son back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is already a champion in all our eyes. Seeing him mature and evolve back into the happy fulfilled version of himself is all that I could have asked for \u2026 I just want to see him winning in all aspects of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kyrgios is the first Australian since 2003 to reach the men\u2019s singles final at Wimbledon and he will take on Novak Djokovic for the title.   <\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Aadi Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Robert Birsel)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-kyrgios-already-a-champion\/wimbledon-68\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI69021-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI69021-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Reuters) \u2013 Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios is one match away from a first Grand Slam title but his brother, Christos, said on Sunday the Australian is already a champion in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1546250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1546250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1546250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1546250\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1546250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1546250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1546250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
