Nick Kyrgios launched yet another attack on Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek after his opening-round loss at the 2025 Brisbane International. The Aussie has vehemently opposed the verdicts of Sinner and Swiatek’s doping cases.
Kyrgios made his highly anticipated return to tennis at the Brisbane International after over a year due to various injuries. He kicked off the event with a win in doubles alongside Novak Djokovic following which he faced the rising star Perrricard in singles. After a brutal battle of serves, it was the Frenchman who clinched the high-octane thriller 7-6(2), (4)6-7, 7-6(3).
Due to his incessant comments on the two aforementioned cases, many users on social media have opposed the manner in which Nick Kyrgios has expressed his disapproval. A user mocked the Aussie after his defeat on X (formerly Twitter),
“Nick Kyrgios getting 7-6 6-7 7-6-ed off the court by a server 10 years younger than him.”
The tennis world was sent into a frenzy when it was announced that Jannik Sinner had tested positive for the banned substance Clostebool during the Indian Wells Masters. Following the heavy news, it was then revealed a few months later that Iga Swiatek had tested positive for the banned substance Trimetazidine in August.
However, the ITIA (International Tennis Integrity Agency), after much investigation, decided that the two players bore ‘No Significant Fault or Negligence’.
Kyrgios’ incessant attacks on the two players haven’t sat well with a majority of tennis fans who have launched a petition demanding the ATP to take action against the 29-year-old.
