Nick Kyrgios didn’t appreciate someone on social media bringing up his past assault charge while defending Iga Swiatek. He’s gearing up for his second tournament in two years at the Brisbane International, kicking off the 2025 season, and then plans to compete in the Australian Open. While recovering from wrist and ankle injuries, he’s been busy with commentary work and sharing thoughts online.
Kyrgios often shares interesting ideas about tennis, like when he suggested five ways to make the sport more exciting. Even if fans don’t always agree with him, his ideas spark conversation. However, not all of his opinions are well-received; for instance, he stirred controversy with comments on Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek’s doping cases.
Controversies and Opinions:
Sinner faced a public scandal before the US Open after testing positive for clostebol during March’s Indian Wells Open. Though an investigation cleared him of wrongdoing, WADA is appealing for a possible one- to two-year ban. Kyrgios has been vocal about this case, often questioning how long clostebol stays in one’s system.

Swiatek also faced her own troubles when she accepted a one-month suspension due to trimetazidine found in contaminated medicine. Kyrgios expressed frustration over both situations by stating “Our sport is cooked” on X (formerly Twitter). Fans might think he’s too outspoken sometimes.
A user on X criticized Kyrgios harshly for calling out these doping issues while having a history of assault himself. They claimed that allowing “abusers” like him to play was a bigger problem than Swiatek’s short suspension.
Kyrgios didn’t take this lightly—he called the user a “potato,” which is an insult he uses often online, accusing them of spreading false information without knowing all the facts.
It’s crucial to understand that Kyrgios did plead guilty to shoving his ex-girlfriend during an argument but wasn’t convicted because it was considered minor by the judge.
What do you think? Is he right or wrong?
