Kyrgios has been described as having an unusually aggressive game. While growing up, he was overweight, asthmatic, and has stated he "had to work out a way to be more aggressive than the average player".[https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/07/10/nick-kyrgios-the-reluctant-rising-star-of-tennis Nick Kyrgios, the Reluctant Rising Star of Tennis, The New Yorker], 3 July 2017 Former British no. 1 John Lloyd described watching Kyrgios as a "pleasure" because of "the mixture and the flair", adding that his character is one which attracts fans. The Guardian has described his playing style as "powerfully flamboyant, sometimes ridiculously-brilliant game, which is something to behold".[https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/jan/20/the-changing-public-perception-of-nick-kyrgios-still-no-angel-but-nor-a-lost-cause The changing public perception of Nick Kyrgios: still no angel but nor a lost cause], The Guardian, 19 January 2018

In 2017, the ATP rated Kyrgios as the fifth best server in the history of professional tennis – with better results than current players such as Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.[https://www.foxsports.com.au/tennis/nick-kyrgios-serve-rated-one-of-the-most-effective-in-history-of-tennis/news-story/71bcda3fde82c87ab67f892ae26c0dae Nick Kyrgios’ serve rated one of the most effective in history of tennis], Fox Sports, 10 January 2017 He reaches speeds up to {{cvt|230|km/h}} and wins 78.8% of his first-serve points.[https://thetennisbros.com/tennis-tips/serve/whats-with-the-underarm-serve/ What’s With The Underarm Serve?] TennisBros His second serve is also one of the best on the ATP Tour and often hit at above {{cvt|200|km/h}}.

He has an effective forehand and (two-handed) backhand and is also able to mix up his shot selection using spin, slices and dropshots. While his game suits grass and hard courts, he reached his first ATP Tour final on clay in Estoril.

Kyrgios first used the underarm serve at the 2019 Mexican Open in Acapulco during his match with Rafael Nadal. In a June 2022 press interview, following his first round victory at Wimbledon against British player Paul Jubb, Kygrios cited his struggles of winning a point against Nadal in the match which led him to alter his serve, stating: “I'm playing Rafael Nadal for like three hours. I couldn't win a point. I threw in one underarm serve. They, I don't know if there's a place in the game for that. Everyone does it now.

Kyrgios has had a number of different coaches and mentors throughout his career. He tends to try one coach and then another, but prefers to do things his own way. In an interview with The New Yorker in 2017, he said: "Every coach I had tried to tame me, tried to make me play more disciplined, tried to make me do drills. I've just been kind of playing on instinct. I feel like it's been successful, so I don't know why there's a good reason to stop that."[https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/07/10/nick-kyrgios-the-reluctant-rising-star-of-tennis Nick Kyrgios, the Reluctant Rising Star of Tennis], The New Yorker, 3 July 2017

Kyrgios won his first challenger tour title at the age of 17. He was often described as someone with great dedication to the game, with those around him, such as his childhood coach, Andrew Bulley, saying he was a 'super competitor' who 'trained with a better intensity than the other kids',{{cite news |date=2014-07-01 |title=Australian tennis hopeful Nick Kyrgios might be 'the one' but first he needs to play Rafael Nadal |work=ABC News |publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-01/nick-kyrgios-to-play-nadal-at-wimbledon/5564038 |access-date=2023-03-28}} and his father, describing him as a 'perfectionist'.[https://www.foxsports.com.au/tennis/nick-kyrgios-parents-saw-his-rise-coming-after-years-of-doing-it-tough/news-story/7bf3392d2776edea76243593b3e0a59b Nick Kyrgios' parents saw his rise coming after years of doing it tough], Fox Sports After defeating the 18 year old Kyrgios in the 2014 Davis Cup World Cup tie, top French player Richard Gasquet said, "He's got a great attitude and a wonderful personality. I think he will be a prominent player in the future".

Andrew Bulley believes the support of Kyrgios' close-knit family was a critical factor in his attitude and motivation at the time.[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-01/nick-kyrgios-to-play-nadal-at-wimbledon/5564038 Australian tennis hopeful Nick Kyrgios might be 'the one' but first he needs to play Rafael Nadal], ABC News, He was close to his family and friends, but as he rose through the rankings, playing in tournaments all over the world meant that he was away from home for long periods.

Kyrgios continues to be a polarising figure with the public and one who is highly criticised in the media. Since his return in December 2024 after experimental wrist surgery, the media are re-assessing his future based on a good performance at the Brisbane International. He is frequently invited to play exhibition and team tennis events such as Ultimate Tennis Showdown and World Tennis League despite having lower rankings than other players.{{Cite news |last=Australian Associated Press |date=6 December 2024 |title=Nick Kyrgios will be in Australian Open Draw with Number 21 Ranking |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/dec/06/nick-kyrgios-will-be-in-australian-open-draw-with-no-21-ranking |work=Guardian Australia}} He remains one of the most popular drawcards at live tennis events, with his matches filling the stadiums at the recent Brisbane International.

Kyrgios produced some of the best performances of his career at Wimbledon in 2022. After losing to Djokovic in the final, Kyrgios said: "It's taken me 10 years – almost 10 years – in my career to finally get to the point of playing for a grand slam and coming up short, but my level is right there."[https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jul/11/nick-kyrgios-says-he-finally-belongs-at-the-top-after-wimbledon-final-now-for-the-next-step Nick Kyrgios says he finally belongs at the top after Wimbledon final – now for the next step], The Guardian, 11 July 2022 When asked if this had made him hungry for more grand slam finals, he replied "no, it was exhausting!", provoking laughter among the crowd.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}

John Newcombe, former Australian world No. 1 in both singles and doubles, remarked that: "Nick is an exceptional talent and he doesn't beat to the same drum as everyone else – he's a real individual."

Tim Henman, former British No.1 (1996, 1999–2005) stated that: "Kyrgios is a performer, an entertainer and will go out and play the tennis he is capable of. He can beat anyone because he is seriously talented. He is a bit different and speaks his mind."

Paul Annacone, Roger Federer's former coach, has been quoted as saying: "I think Nick is the most talented player since Roger jumped on the scene".{{cite web |last=Cambers |first=Simon |date=3 July 2017 |title=Nick Kyrgios, the Reluctant Rising Star of Tennis |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/07/10/nick-kyrgios-the-reluctant-rising-star-of-tennis |magazine=The New Yorker}}

Novak Djokovic after beating Kyrgios in the 2022 Wimbledon final: "I really respect you a lot. I think you are a phenomenal tennis player and athlete, an amazing talent."[https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/wimbledon/2022/wimbledon-final-its-officially-a-bromance-novak-djokovic-pays-tribute-to-phenomenal-nick-kyrgios_sto9030817/story.shtml Wimbledon Final: 'It’s Officially A Bromance' – Novak Djokovic Pays Tribute To 'Phenomenal' Nick Kyrgios], Eurosport, 11 July 2022

Coco Gauff, during a press-conference at Flushing Meadows, praised Kyrgios for practicing with her at the Miami Open despite already having concluded a two-hour long practice with Frances Tiafoe, noting that:{{Cite web |title=Coco Gauff Praises Nick Kyrgios At US Open Press-Conference {{!}} ATP Tour {{!}} Tennis |url=https://www.atptour.com/en/news/gauff-praises-kyrgios-us-open-2022 |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=ATP Tour}}

"I know there's things on the court that he does that people don't agree with. I probably don't agree with some things," Gauff said. "But it's just things like [hitting with a young kid] that stands out for me."

"It's just moments like that that people don't really see about him. So I think people paint him as a bad guy. I feel around the grounds, at least my experience of him, he's not."

"If he keeps it up, I think he can go far ... I always, always root for him, no matter who he's playing, to be honest."

Lee McKenzie, who conducts immediate post-match interviews with winning players in front of the crowd on Centre Court at Wimbledon, was quoted as saying: "He is fascinating. I did a lot of interviews with him at Wimbledon last year (in 2022). I was the first person on court. I stood back and actually Nick noticed this and he looked over from his chair and just sort of gave me a little nod and waved me on. That was perfect and I went on and we did a great interview.

John McEnroe has also praised Kyrgios's talent. In late 2018 on the Seven Network's Sunday Night show in Australia, McEnroe said that Kyrgios is "the most talented player [he's] seen in the last ten years" but that Kyrgios may "run himself out", if he continued not to commit himself to tennis.{{cite news |date=25 November 2018 |title=John McEnroe fearful Nick Kyrgios will 'run himself out' of tennis |work=The Guardian |agency=Australian Associated Press |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/nov/26/john-mcenroe-fearful-nick-kyrgios-will-run-himself-out-of-tennis |access-date=28 June 2022}}{{cite web |date=9 January 2019 |title=John McEnroe: 'Nick Kyrgios is the most talented guy I've seen in a decade' |url=https://www.eurosport.co.uk/tennis/australian-open/2019/tennis-news-john-mcenroe-nick-kyrgios-is-the-most-talented-guy-i-ve-seen-in-a-decade_sto7080167/story.shtml |access-date=28 June 2022 |publisher=Eurosport}} While hosting a radio call-in show during the 2021 Wimbledon Championships on BBC Radio 5 Live McEnroe stated that if he could choose any player on the current tour to coach he would pick Kyrgios.{{cite web |title=BBC Radio 5 live – 6-Love-6 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007snpg |publisher=BBC}}

Those who know Kyrgios personally say his off-court personality is very different from his on-court antics. Hugh van Cuylenburg, founder of the Resilience Project says:[https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tennis/1637851/Nick-Kyrgios-Wimbledon-tennis-news-Novak-Djokovic-final Nick Kyrgios labelled 'a sensational person' as myths debunked ahead of Wimbledon final], Daily Express, 9 July 2022

"Everyone who has ever met him say he's a sensational person who cares deeply about other people. He doesn't seek recognition or publicity for the good things he does."

"Every time I see him, he's smiling. Every time I'm around him, it seems like I'm laughing. So it's kind of weird when I read or see the comments about him, knowing him the way I do. He's just one of those people if you were to hang around him or spend any sort of quality time with him, you'd fall in love with him."

Kyrgios pledged to donate $200 for every ace he served during the summer, which was subsequently taken up by other Australian tennis players.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jan/02/kyrgios-stosur-and-others-pledge-200-per-ace-to-bushfire-relief-efforts|title=Kyrgios, Stosur and others pledge $200 per ace to bushfire relief efforts|date=2 January 2020|work=The Guardian|access-date=3 January 2020|issn=0261-3077}} Kyrgios also asked Tennis Australia to hold an exhibition match before the 2020 Australian Open to raise more funds.[https://www.smh.com.au/sport/tennis/ta-targets-big-three-for-seven-figure-fundraising-frenzy-20200103-p53omz.html TA targets Big Three for seven-figure fundraising frenzy], The Sydney Morning Herald, 3 January 2020 Numerous top tennis players participated including Caroline Wozniacki, Serena Williams, Coco Gauff, Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Naomi Osaka, Dominic Thiem, Petra Kvitova, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

In June 2020, Kyrgios publicly criticised Djokovic for organizing the controversial charity tennis tournament at which Djokovic and numerous other tennis players tested positive for COVID-19, calling it a "boneheaded decision".[https://wwos.nine.com.au/tennis/kyrgios-reacts-to-djokovic-s-covid-19-test/0e996d06-7742-4864-ab67-2408ba652620 Kyrgios reacts to Djokovic's COVID-19 test], Nine News 23 June 2020

In June 2022, after Djokovic beat Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final, Kyrgios called Djokovic "a bit of a god" after which Djokovic jokingly declared his relationship with Nick Kyrgios "officially a bromance".

Kyrgios has been involved in a number of controversial incidents during tennis matches, mostly during his early career.

During a match at the 2015 Rogers Cup, Kyrgios generated considerable controversy for insults he directed at Stan Wawrinka in the middle of the match. During play, Kyrgios' voice was picked up by the on-court microphone telling Wawrinka, "Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend; sorry to tell you that, mate," a lewd reference to fellow pro Thanasi Kokkinakis and Wawrinka's girlfriend at the time, WTA player Donna Vekic.{{cite web | url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/aug/13/kokkinakis-banged-your-girlfriend-nick-kyrgios-sledges-stan-wawrinka | title='Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend': Nick Kyrgios sledges Stan Wawrinka | work=The Guardian | date=13 August 2015 | last1=Hytner | first1=Mike }} After the match, Wawrinka said he found the comments "unacceptable" and urged action be taken against Kyrgios.[https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/tennis/33903356 "Stan Wawrinka unhappy at 'unacceptable' Nick Kyrgios"], BBC Sport, 13 August 2015.

Kyrgios was fined $13,127 and given suspended penalties pending further breaches by the ATP. He later apologised to Wawrinka.Patterson, Kelsey, [http://www.cbc.ca/sports/tennis/nick-kyrgios-fined-apologizes-for-insulting-stan-wawrinka-at-rogers-cup-1.3189586 "Nick Kyrgios fined, apologizes for insulting Stan Wawrinka at Rogers Cup"], Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 13 August 2015.

At the 2019 Rome Masters, Kyrgios was defaulted from his second round encounter with Casper Ruud after swearing at a line judge, kicking a bottle, and hurling a chair onto court. The default followed the three warnings rule which Kyrgios accepted immediately and shook hands with the referee, supervisor and opponent. The referee and supervisor had tried many times to quell a heckling group without success.{{cite news |title=Nick Kyrgios storms off court: 'Emotions got the better of me' |work=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/48300357 |access-date=17 May 2019}}{{cite web |date=16 May 2019 |title=Nick Kyrgios defaulted from Italian Open after hurling chair across court |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/may/16/roger-federer-rafael-nadal-italian-open-tennis |access-date=17 May 2019 |website=The Guardian}} The 2023 clay season was extremely rowdy and measures trialled at Roland Garros 2023 are being put in place to protect players from physical and social media abuse.{{Cite news |date=22 May 2023 |title=French Open organisers to offer players AI protection against online abuse |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/may/22/french-open-organisers-to-offer-players-ai-protection-against-online-abuse-tennis}}{{Cite news |date=20 December 2023 |title=Tennis players to get protection from online abuse through new monitoring service |work=tennis.com |url=https://www.tennis.com/baseline/articles/tennis-players-social-media-online-abuse-protection-threat-matrix-service-ai-signify-group}}{{Cite news |last=Baretta |first=Jean-Baptiste |date=22 May 2023 |title=Roland-Garros: Players to get social media protection |work=Roland-Garros.com news |url=https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/article/roland-garros-2023-players-social-media-protection-bodyguard}}

At age 19, ranked 144th in the world, he received a wildcard entry to play at Wimbledon and beat then-world No. 1 Nadal in the fourth round. Beating Nadal, the first time he played against him, brought international attention. From then on he was told: "you're the next big thing in tennis." Kyrgios admits he didn't know how to deal with the pressure. He told the Turn Up the Talk podcast in May 2022: "I kept trying, trying and trying, just ended up snowballing into this dark cloud."

Things became so difficult for him that Kyrgios posted on Instagram that in 2018 he suffered from depression and engaged in self-harm and had suicidal ideation.[https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/60505009 Nick Kyrgios tells people 'you are not alone' after discussing self-harm & depression struggle], BBC, 24 February 2022 In an interview on the Turn Up The Talk podcast, he explained that in 2019, even when he was winning tournaments: "[I was] probably drinking 20 to 30 drinks every night – you know, just in my room on my own – waking up [and] playing."
