In his ongoing campaign against Jannik Sinner and the doping scandal involving the young Italian, Nick Kyrgios, who is on the verge of making a comeback in early 2025, has once again used some strongly worded language.
The ATP No. 1 has been the target of the Australian, who has been sidelined for a long time due to a string of injuries when the Clostebol scandal came to light.
Kyrgios shared a brief video of himself getting his wrist massaged by the SUP masseur and his personal trainer. He said: “No contamination, just a normal cream used on an operated wrist. From an experienced physiotherapist for whom I am responsible. Happy to be back and not cheating the system.”
Maybe Kyrgios and Sinner could meet in person in Australia in 2025 and settle the dispute that Nick has been escalating on the tennis court.
Kyrgios made it to the Wimbledon final more than two years ago. The Australian has struggled with numerous physical issues and hasn’t been consistent since.
Kyrgios recently said that he is different from other tennis players. He said: “I’m coming back because I have something that makes me want to. I’ve beaten everyone; I’ve played a Grand Slam final; I’ve won a lot of titles and made a lot of money. Now that everything is open, I can win a Grand Slam. I want to shut everyone up by winning a Grand Slam. I’m not a bad guy. I’ve been labelled that because I’m different from normal tennis players. I don’t think the Australian public thinks that way, even though they thought I was a murderer at the beginning of my career.”
