The return of the Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios appears as one of the main stimulants for the start of 2025, because it will finalize details at the ATP 250 in Brisbane, both in singles as in doubles, to reach the best possible way to the Australian Opendreaming of facing the Italian Jannik Sinner (1°).
A fervent critic of the positive doping of the current leader of the men’s ranking, the former world number 13 became news again a few days ago by revealing his controversial strategy in case of being paired against the defending champion, arguing that “respect would go out the window, turn everything into absolute chaos, do anything to win.”
His statements did not go unnoticed by the British Laura Robsonretired in 2022 due to her constant injuries and brand new director of the Queen’s WTA 500, who criticized the words of the Canberra-born in the EuroSport media: “I don’t think anyone wants a situation where all respect goes out the window. If we can avoid it that would be great“.
“It would be super interesting if they faced each other, especially in the initial rounds, because Nick is an unpredictable player. But if you face him in the first round you will know that will arrive without rhythm and he will walk from side to side on his serve while hitting aces,” warned the left-hander, who reached 27th in the rankings in 2013.
Consequently, the silver medalist in mixed doubles, along with her compatriot Jamie Murray, at the 2012 London Olympic Games said: “I think it should be even enough for the audience to get involved.. They will need a tight marker so they have something to hold on to. “First he will have that challenge in his hands and then we will see, because Sinner will also be sharp in that situation.”
“Sinner handled the case as best he could. He has done everything by the book, reading the long court document, and everything they asked of him. At that point I think one should leave it to the authoritieswho have allowed him to play and considered that there was no negligence,” said the finalist in Guangzhou 2012.
Finally, the now former host of the Nottingham Open, who participated three times in the first Grand Slam on the calendar, closed: “Obviously there are still some concerns because the case has escalated again and will continue in 2025. But Nick has his opinion and surely It will make things more interesting, adding more spice if they play with each other. But I think that on the court it is a different situation. I imagine that all those sayings will disappear if they face“.
