Andy Roddick spoke about Nick Kyrgios on his Served podcast.
The Australian had been accused of taking doping products in his career, because he had defended Iga Swiatek.
He declared: "A few weeks ago, and this is something that borders on defamation, Nick insinuated that I had taken performance-enhancing drugs throughout my career.
All because I had chosen to understand and explain the context of the Iga Swiatek case, trying to provide some nuance and perhaps suggesting that anti-doping protocols are too strict,
He argues that if you test positive, you should be sanctioned forever, but it seems that if you've never tested positive, too.
That's something that bothered me a lot. Nick is looking for likes, for interaction.
He's currently a tennis influencer. He lives for likes, for the comments section.
Mind you, what I'm about to say isn't an exaggeration: he's one of the most talented tennis players I've ever seen in my life.
His magic is on a par with that of the Big Three.
You can't take your eyes off the screen when he's playing well. However, what bothers me about Kyrgios is the hypocrisy with which he chooses to judge people."
The audacity of that woman beating douche is appalling.
