Australian star Nick Kyrgios declared his interest in playing in a Saudi Arabia-funded tennis league as the country continues its aggressive expansion across world sport.<\/a><\/p>\n

Oil rich Saudi Arabia is pumping huge money into golf and football and is now setting its sights on tennis and Formula 1.<\/p>\n

Kyrgios on Tuesday responded on Twitter to reports that Saudi Arabia was in talks with the AT\ufeffP Tour about acquiring a stake in the tennis world.<\/p>\n

"Finally. They see the value," Kyrgios wrote.<\/p>\n

"We are going to get paid what we deserve to get paid. Sign me up."<\/p>\n

Kyrgios last year brushed the Davis Cup to instead chase riches at the Diriyah Tennis Cup in Saudi Arabia.\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n

"At this point of my career, I'll always do what's best for me," Kyrgios said.<\/p>\n

"I can travel around the world playing exhibitions around this time of year for six figures \u2013 you know I feel I put myself in that position \u2013 so it's an easy one for me.<\/p>\n

"I'll easily take time with my family and my girlfriend and enjoy experiences around the world and earn that type of money rather than play a week away in something (Davis Cup) where I wouldn't be able to be with my girlfriend, and I'm not getting paid that well."<\/p>\n
