Nick Kyrgios isn’t letting up. The outspoken Australian has continued his relentless tirade against Jannik Sinner, doubling down on his harsh criticism of the Italian star after his positive test for Clostebol in March 2024. Now, as a fresh doping case emerges in the tennis world, Kyrgios has made it clear that his war against performance-enhancing drugs isn’t just about Sinner—it’s about the integrity of the sport itself.
Kyrgios’ Latest Swipe: ‘Tennis World Gone Mad’
Kyrgios reacted with sheer disbelief after news broke that a Portuguese ATP player had tested positive for methamphetamine, highlighting what he sees as a hypocrisy in tennis’ anti-doping policies.
“Steroids are fine but this is wild! Tennis world gone mad,” Kyrgios posted, expressing his frustration that different substances receive different levels of scrutiny and punishment.
His comments align with his no-tolerance stance on doping, a position that has seen him publicly berate Sinner in recent months. From scathing interviews to fiery social media posts, Kyrgios has made it his mission to call out the Italian, going as far as saying he would turn the crowd against him if they ever met on court.
Sinner’s Doping Nightmare: A Potential Two-Year Suspension Looms
Sinner, one of tennis’ brightest young stars, now faces an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which could result in a suspension of up to two years. Despite protests of innocence from his camp, the case has cast a dark shadow over his career.
While some have rallied behind Sinner, arguing that the circumstances of his positive test warrant leniency, Kyrgios has taken the opposite approach—leading a personal crusade against any form of doping leniency in tennis.
Kyrgios vs. Sinner: A Feud That’s Far From Over
The Australian’s vocal attacks have only escalated, and if Sinner is allowed to continue competing, Kyrgios has already promised to make life uncomfortable for him.
“I’d get the crowd on his back and make it awkward for him,” Kyrgios previously warned, signaling that he has no intention of letting Sinner—or the ATP—off the hook.
This verbal war has only added fuel to the ongoing debate over doping regulations in tennis. Should Sinner be treated more harshly? Should different substances receive different suspensions? Kyrgios isn’t waiting for governing bodies to answer—he’s making his stance clear, one blunt comment at a time.
What’s Next?
With Sinner’s CAS appeal looming and Kyrgios showing no signs of backing down, this tennis doping saga is far from over. If the Italian is allowed to continue playing, expect fireworks on and off the court—especially if he ever runs into Kyrgios in a competitive setting.
One thing is certain: Kyrgios isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and he’s not letting this issue go anytime soon.
