The Daily Telegraph reported that a character named Patrick was inspired by the Greek Australian tennis star.

“I love him, he is amazing,” O’Connor said about Kyrgios. 

“First of all, he is an astonishingly good tennis player but I also just love the character and the bravado. He is such a character, great to watch, great entertainment.”
