Tennis No. 1 Jannik Sinner is one of the modern-day greats considering his recent records of winning 2 grand slams, a Davis Cup title, ATP finals, and a Masters 1000 title all in the same year. He is also the only player outside the 'Big Three' to have a win percentage over 90% in 2024.
But there is no champion in this world without a critic, and Jannik Sinner has his biggest critic in his own tennis family, and that is Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios. Sinner was recently caught by ITIA (International Tennis Integrity Agency) for using banned substances.
Sinner was asked to explain his doping controversy and the Italian has confessed before the ITIA, how he accidentally got the substance into his body. After hearing Sinner’s plea the organization has cleared him from the Doping issue. This was not accepted by the Australian and he began attacking Sinner vocally on many occasions. Through social media, Kyrgios slammed Jannik Sinner for victimising himself and demanded strict action from the federation.
Krygios is returning to Professional tennis next year and he expressed his desire to face Jannik Sinner at the 2025 Australian Open. He also promised to make the match more interesting by turning the Australian crowd against him. Many fans after hearing Nick's statement got more excited and are eagerly waiting for the Australian Open 2025 tournament.

But before that, a fan created a cryptic post showing Sinner and Kyrgios in a boxing match which made the Australian laugh. Recently, Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's boxing match earned them millions of dollars as it was the most anticipated match of the year. The fans said he would sell his kidney to see the same kind of boxing match between Sinner and Kyrgios.
Seeing this, the Australian reacted hilariously and replied by saying “Hahahaha in the ring? What y’all smoking.” For the last year, Nick Kyrgios has been bashing Jannik Sinner whenever he gets a chance. But the Italian, on the other hand, doesn't want to intervene with anyone, as he feels everybody has freedom of speech and can express whatever they wish.
