Controversial Aussie Star Issues Defiant Message Amid On-Going Saudi Arabian Investment Drama in Tennis as He Gets Real About His Priorities

The ATP’s current ‘Bad Boy’ withdrew from the Mallorca Open, but not from expressing bold opinions. The recent discussions of Saudi Arabia with the chairman of ATP have caught the Tennis world’s attention. The country has started investing hugely in sports like Golf and Football. It has its eyes now on Tennis. Details and results of the discussion are yet to be unveiled, but everything is going positive, and we might have an update soon.

The ATP number one, Carlos Alcaraz, already stated that the days of playing big matches in Saudi Arabia are ahead. Nick Kyrgios got real about the possible deal and revealed his opinion to the world. Reacting to the news, Nick Kyrgios tweeted his opinion about Saudi Arabia investing in Tennis. As expected, it caught the internet by fire.

Nick Kyrgios is eager to mint money through Saudi Arabia and ATP’s deal

The Wimbledon Championships runner-up replied to a tweet by ‘Relevant Tennis,’ in which the news about the deal was covered. The Australian was delighted by the possibility of Tennis tournaments being held in Saudi Arabia. He felt that with the finalization of this deal, players would get paid what they deserved.

Kyrgios tweeted, “FINALLY. THEY SEE THE VALUE. WE ARE GOING TO GET PAID WHAT WE DESERVE TO GET PAID. SIGN ME UP??????????.” He is definitely excited about the money and probably not happy with the payment structure of ATP. The twenty-eight-year-old has only played one match so far this year and is doubtful about playing Wimbledon, too, owing to the recurring injuries.?

This statement from him only heated up the internet. Recently, Kyrgios refused to apologize to Nadal for hitting him in the chest during a match at 2019 Wimbledon. Previously, The ATP chairman even taunted him to fix issues privately with other players and act as a responsible citizen on Social media. But Kyrgios proudly owns his peculiar way.

Even if the deal gets confirmed, can Kyrgios play in Saudi Arabia?

Is Nick Kyrgios aware of his net worth and form?

The thirty-third seed feels that ATP does not value the players and underpays them. For a player whose net worth stands at 15 million dollars, this opinion seemed outrageous. Twitteratties took a dig at him for his comments on the pay. They were eager to point out his current form and mocked him for demanding more pay without playing tournaments.

The Next Gen ATP Finals, an exhibition event, is likely to take place in Saudi Arabia, but not yet confirmed. In order to qualify for this tournament, players must be in Top-8, and given Kyrgios’ form and injuries, it is highly unlikely that he will get a chance to play for the money he was so excited for.

During the pandemic, Kyrgios released a video of himself asking Tennis players to act in the interest of each other and work together. He called the Tennis fraternity selfish for organizing exhibitions and asked them to stop money-grabbing their way around Europe.

The recent statements from a $15,000,000 net worth player who feels ATP does not value players and thus readying himself to play for more money only raised many questions about his values. Do you think what Kyrgios did is right?
