Grand Slam tournaments are the most competitive and highly followed tennis tournaments. While it’s a dream for any tennis star to play and win these tournaments, they all have their favorite and not favorite slams. The surfaces for them are different as well. While the Australian Open and the US Open have hard courts, the French Open is played on clay. While the Wimbledon Championships is a grass court event.

Speaking about his least favorite Grand Slam in the JBK Show, Kyrgios revealed, “I don’t like France, to be honest. French Open is by far the worst Grand Slam. I’ve said it before and a lot of players will agree with me as well but if you are in love, you get to see Paris but it’s been a hell of a ride so far.”
While Kyrgios didn’t specify the exact reason for hating it, the reason could be anything from the playing surface to the scheduling. However, Rafael Nadal will definitely disagree with Kyrgios here. Kyrgios is not a big fan of the Clay court Grand Slam. It is clear from the fact that the Aussie hasn’t played in the tournament since 2017.
