Nick Kyrgios isn’t holding back in his ongoing critique of Jannik Sinner, particularly regarding the Italian’s recent doping case. The Australian tennis star has sarcastically labeled Sinner as “the victim,” a comment that follows a month of pointed remarks about the situation that has stirred the tennis community.
Kyrgios, known for his outspoken nature, has been one of the most vocal critics since the case emerged, calling the handling of the situation “ridiculous.” His commentary reached a new peak when he reacted to a post showcasing Sinner at a Gucci event. In response to a comment that downplayed the seriousness of Sinner’s failed drug tests, Kyrgios chimed in with, “Yeah of course – nothing happened bro (laughing emoji) he is the victim.”
