LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2024 – Tennis Channel’s free second network, T2, will be home to a new celebrity-interview series hosted by outspoken and charismatic tennis star Nick Kyrgios. Set to debut Wednesday, Jan. 24, at 7 p.m. ET, Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios will feature a half-hour conversation every two weeks between the 2022 Australian Open doubles champion and luminaries from the worlds of tennis, entertainment, media, lifestyle, arts, athletics and beyond (promo link: https://bit.ly/4baiMxE). The first edition this week will showcase famed chef and international restauranteur Gordon Ramsay.
The video-podcast series follows the paths taken by people who shake things up by marching to the beat of their own drums. Inspired by a tennis career in which Kyrgios has refused to be defined by conventional standards while always questioning the status quo, each episode highlights the tennis star interacting with others who have done the same across all fields of life.
In addition to Ramsay, guests include boxing-champion Mike Tyson, actor-comedian Rainn Wilson, Emmy Award-winning journalist Jemele Hill, bestselling author Jay Shetty, entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk and four-time major-tennis champion Naomi Osaka, among others (episode schedule below).
Everyone in the United States can watch the series for free or at no extra cost on Tennis Channel’s T2, which is available on Amazon Freevee, Fubo, Hulu, Roku and Samsung TV Plus.
