Kyrgios has scored an endorsement deal with the popular Australian brand, Bonds, and can be seen on the company’s home page and advertisements currently.
Rafter told the Sydney Morning Herald that he’s happy to pass the baton to the youngster. "Hopefully, were handing over the baton,” he said. “Nick is pretty comfortable and confident in himself to get up there and do it, so I’m happy for him to take over. It is like a changing of the guard and all good fun."
Rafter was coaxed our of underwear-modelling retirement to make this video in 2013, but the current Davis Cup coach has his hands full with other responsibilities these days.
