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 difference tho Andy is Nick got dragged by the fans, media, tennis journalists and was dealt with by the court of law while you along with all the media and tennis journalists stayed silent about Jannik testing positive two times (and continue to stay silent about it) trying to sweep it under the rug like it didn't happen.

Well done, Andy.
The audacity of that woman beating douche is appalling.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
