While Jannik Sinner arrives at Milan Fashion Week for Gucci’s show, Nick Kyrgios has not stopped making fun of the Italian sportsman for his doping scandal. The Australian player hasn’t held back when expressing his opinions on the world No. 1’s situation or when advocating for a two-year ban.
Sinner tested positive twice for the illegal substance Clostebol during the Indian Wells Masters, and this was made public after he won the 2024 Cincinnati Masters.
The Italian was allowed to play after the ITIA (International Tennis Integrity Agency) determined that the ingesting of Clostebol was an accident. But this decision sent the tennis community into a frenzy, and some felt that Sinner exhibited some bias in his decision.
Kyrgios, who has been criticizing the decision and demanding a ban for the 23-year-old, was one of them.
Additionally, Sinner recently won the US Open. A user on X shared a few images of the Italian during his Milan Fashion Week appearance and remarked: “Let’s just pretend the failed drug tests never happened and business as usual.”
In response to the user’s tweet, Kyrgios took a playful jab at the Italian: “Yeah, of course—nothing happened, bro. He is the victim.”
