Kyrgios Sinner

True to his reputation, Nick Kyrgios has struck again. The unpredictable Australian has once again targeted Jannik Sinner and also the ATP, which he accuses of having protected the Italian during his doping case.

As a guest on the Unscripted podcast, Nick Kyrgios opened up about various topics such as the future of his career, his relationships with players on the tour, but also the Sinner case, which had marked the year 2024 and ended with the Italian being suspended for three months for negligence.

The Australian player had targeted the world No. 2 multiple times during the case, and he didn't hesitate to add another layer on Monday, discussing a "protection" system within the ATP:

"I'm liked by many players in the locker room, but there are also other players that I can't stand. Like Sinner, it's become very tense between us now.

Obviously, after the whole doping scandal, his positive test and all the rest, there are a few people I don't get along with at all...

He is the world number one (at the time he tested positive) and there's no doubt he's an incredible player who, along with Alcaraz, will carry this sport for the next 10 to 15 years.

So of course, they protect him in a way. The boss (of the ATP) and all the important people are Italian. And to me, this whole story is bullshit. [...]

I think he's good enough to make it without (doping). If it was an accident, fine, but if it wasn't, I'd tell him: 'Man, I don't think you need it.'"
