Hey, Miami tennis fans It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, and I’ve got the scoop on some major drama in the tennis world. You know how I love keeping up with all things tennis, especially when it comes to our favorite players. Let’s dive into what’s been going on.
First off, let’s talk about Nick Kyrgios. The Australian tennis star has been making headlines lately for his outspoken comments and actions on the court. Recently, he was asked about the possibility of teaming up with Jannik Sinner for some doubles, and boy, did he have a response When asked if he’d play doubles with Sinner, Kyrgios bluntly said he only plays with “clean players.” This statement is clearly a reference to the doping case involving Sinner, which has been a hot topic in tennis circles.
Sinner was found by an independent tribunal of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) to bear no fault or negligence after testing positive for clostebol, a prohibited substance. However, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed this decision, seeking a period of ineligibility for Sinner.
Kyrgios wasn’t just done there; he also had some choice words for umpire Carlos Bernardes. In a recent Instagram post, Kyrgios called Bernardes a “potato” and demanded his dismissal from the Tour. This isn’t the first time Kyrgios has clashed with Bernardes; remember that time during the 2022 Miami Masters when he confronted the umpire over a point penalty?
Meanwhile, Sinner has chosen not to engage in a war of words with Kyrgios. When asked about Kyrgios’ comments, Sinner simply said, “I don’t want to respond on what he said. Everyone is free to say everything. It’s okay.”
As we continue to follow these tennis stars and their drama-filled careers, it’s clear that there’s no shortage of excitement in the world of professional tennis. Whether you’re a fan of Nick Kyrgios’ fiery personality or Jannik Sinner’s incredible skills on the court, there’s always something new to talk about.
