Nick Kyrgios recently made unexpected comments about topics beyond tennis.
He’s only played one ATP match in two years due to knee and wrist injuries, with his sole appearance being a failed attempt at the Stuttgart Open before Wimbledon 2023. Kyrgios is eyeing a comeback at next year’s Australian Open, hoping to clinch his first Grand Slam singles title and prove doubters wrong.
While recovering, he’s been busy with commentary and podcasts, stirring up controversy with some of his remarks. During the US Open, he made an inappropriate comment about Jannik Sinner‘s girlfriend, Anna Kalinskaya, recalling their past relationship. This drew criticism from Andrea Petkovic for “self-sabotaging with misogynist nonsense,” overshadowing his often insightful match commentary.

Unexpected Remarks:
Kyrgios also revisited an infamous 2015 incident involving Stan Wawrinka at the Canadian Open. Back then, he claimed Thanasi Kokkinakis had relations with Donna Vekic, Wawrinka’s girlfriend. Although he apologized then, now he dismisses it as mere trash talk necessary for sports. Fans might think these comments are just part of his unpredictable nature.
Despite divisive opinions on him as a player or commentator, some people still take him seriously due to his achievements on the court. Yet, when asked about the pyramids on Louis Theroux’s Podcast, Kyrgios gave a bizarre response suggesting humans didn’t build them.
“No, I don’t. Impossible,” he said about humans building pyramids. “The fact that they got every measurement correct is insane.”
He questioned why pyramid doors are so large: “Why are the doors so big? Like who needs to walk through them if they’re that big?”
Kyrgios even speculated about Earth’s shape—while leaning towards it being round —he remains open to other possibilities despite evidence supporting its roundness.
“I’d probably be inclined to saying it’s round,” he shared but added he’s not surprised by alternate theories either.
Additionally pondering if Americans truly landed on the moon first in 1969 shows how openly skeptical Kyrgios can be regarding historical events many accept as fact.
In conclusion: Do you find Kyrgios’ views intriguing or just plain odd?
