'Me and the grinch' - Nick Kyrgios continues feud with Jannik Sinner, mocks up Christmas image

Tennis star Nick Kyrgios continues his digs at world number one Jannik Sinner, reposting a mixed-up Christmas image of the pair and adding his comment in his Instagram post. The Aussie star has long been at the throat of the world number one after his positive test for the doping case, from which he escaped suspension twice. They have found no fault or negligence, but he might undergo a hearing with CAS after the ruling was appealed for this controversial case.

The Australian star has been a vocal critic of both Sinner and also Iga Swiatek, who has recently tested positive as of late and served a one-month ban.

Just a few months back, Nick Kyrgios described his desire to play at the forthcoming Australia Open 2025 and get the crowd on his back to make him uncomfortable. The Canberra-born star makes his full return to the sport next week when he will be playing in the Brisbane International 2025.

Not just in the singles but also in the doubles. The star player is set to return from his injuries at the forthcoming Brisbane International, commencing on December 29. He will be playing doubles with Novak this time before reuniting with his close friend Thanasi in the Australian Open doubles.

All respect would go out the window, and I would just do anything to win: Kyrgios

“Let’s be honest, I just want to go out there, and I really want to play Sinner. I thought about this (the game plan). If I played him in the Australian Open, I would just get every single person in the crowd to get on him. I would just turn it into an absolute riot. All respect would go out the window, and I would just do anything to win,” Kyrgios said on the Nothing Major podcast earlier in December.
