'Disgusting for our sport' - Nick Kyrgios criticises Jannik Sinner for doping saga

Tennis star Nick Kyrgios has slammed world number one Jannik Sinner and world number two Iga Swiatek's cases as disgusting and horrible ahead of his ATP comeback after injuries. Any fans who have been following tennis for so long know that Aussie star Nick Kyrgios has been slamming the world number one and causing huge controversies.

Nick Kyrgios has not played any tennis tournaments since June 2023 due to wrist and knee injuries. It will be the first tour-level appearance by Nick since the Stuttgart Open in June 2023. The 29-year-old tennis star was asked about his motivations for speaking out on the Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek situations.

The Italian had successfully argued that his physiotherapist had accidentally contaminated him during the tournament with Closebol, which had transferred from a cut on his hand. On the other hand, Iga Swiatek also accepted a one-month suspension in November after testing positive for the banned substance trimetazidine.

Two world No.1s both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. Nick Kyrgios

"Two world No.1s both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It's a horrible look. Tennis integrity right now, and everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it; it's awful. Someone like me... I would never, even in my entire life, ever try and dope in this sport. Especially going through an injury like I went through, obviously there are things out there that could speed up healing, help me get back to prime level, and help my recovery," Nick Kyrgios said.
