Tennis star Nick Kyrgios has signed a deal to join video subscription company OnlyFans in a move that the 28-year-old describes as a "no brainer".
Kyrgios is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining players on the tour, but his behaviour at times on the court has made him a polarising figure.
He reached his first grand slam singles final at Wimbledon last year, losing in four sets to Novak Djokovic, and won his first grand slam doubles title at the Australian Open alongside compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis.

"Launching an OnlyFans was a no-brainer," Kyrgios said in a statement.
"They are revolutionising social media and I wanted to be a part of that. Athletes can no longer just show up on the court or the field, we have to show up online too.
"I want to create, produce, direct and own content. That's the future. I've been speaking to my fans directly for years and I know what they want to see.
"Of course, there'll be tennis balls involved, tips, tricks and behind the scenes, but also they'll get to see all different sides of me. Gaming, tattoos, my intimate side – it's all on the table and I'll be bringing fans along for the ride!"
Kyrgios will likely have plenty of time to keep his OnlyFans account updated as he continues to struggle with injuries.
After missing all four grand slams in 2023 with wrist, knee and foot injuries, Kyrgios looks set to miss his home Australian Open in January after being left off the entry list.
However, 22-time grand slam singles champion Rafael Nadal has been included on the entry list after missing the majority of 2022 due to an injury sustained at the Australian Open.
Nadal will make his long-awaited return to tennis at the Brisbane International in January.
