Nick Kyrgios couldn’t believe it when Darren Cahill, Jannik Sinner‘s coach, got a coaching award from Tennis Australia.
Kyrgios is famous for his strong opinions in tennis, often stirring up debates among fans with his social media posts and commentary during Grand Slams.
Once, he made a rude comment online about Anna Kalinskaya, who used to date both him and Sinner.

Andrea Petkovic criticized Kyrgios for making such comments, saying they overshadow his smart tennis insights. He once shared five creative ideas to make tennis more fun—fans might not agree with all of them, but they were definitely interesting.
Controversies and Opinions:
Kyrgios has been vocal about doping cases involving Sinner and Iga Swiatek. He wants strict measures against anyone testing positive for banned substances. Swiatek faced a one-month suspension after tests showed trimetazidine in her system; she claimed it was due to contaminated melatonin. Some people feel sorry for her because she bought a legal product without knowing it was tainted. Andy Roddick thinks it’s unfair to label her as a doper.
Sinner’s situation is trickier—he tested positive for clostebol at Indian Wells Open but was cleared by the ITIA after explaining that his physiotherapist unknowingly transferred the substance through massages. The World Anti-Doping Agency appealed this decision, leaving Sinner anxious as he waits for a ruling expected in 2025.
Despite an amazing 2024 season with wins at the Australian Open and US Open, Cahill wasn’t nominated for ATP Coach of the Year but did receive recognition from Tennis Australia. Kyrgios mocked this decision on X (formerly Twitter), questioning if it was a joke: “This is a joke right – have some class and integrity people.”
Fans might think that blaming Cahill seems unfair since he wasn’t responsible for medical decisions within the team; however, he was part of Sinner’s team when these issues arose.
