Personal life

[edit | edit source]

He is the son of former tennis professional Mary Joe Fernández and her husband, sports agent Tony Godsick.[2] His father started representing Roger Federer before Nicholas was one year old and the families have been close. Nicholas has said he personally views Federer as a friend and a mentor.[3] When practicing with Nick Kyrgios ahead of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, Godsick noted a change in the Australian's demeanour and focus and predicted success for Kyrgios, who would go on to make it to the final. On being told this story on ESPN commentary, Cliff Drysdale responded "ok so Nico is a genius".[4]
