‘They Wanted a Guy Who Was a Bit Boring’ – Nick Kyrgios Gives a Sarcastic Reply to a Spectator in Indian Wells

Nick Kyrgios is known for his unorthodox ways. Moreover, he often does things in a way one can hardly ever imagine. Once ranked as high as Number 13 in men’s singles, the Australian tennis star has dropped out of the top-100 of the ATP rankings. His current ranking is 132 on the ATP rankings chart.

Kyrgios is in Indian Wells to participate at the BNP Paribas Open. Recently, he had a sarcastic reply to one of the spectator’s questions.

Nick Kyrgios makes a strong comeback against a spectator trying to take a dig at him

The Australian was out on a tennis court, practicing ahead of his men’s singles match. One of the spectators asked him, “Nick, who is filming you?” Kyrgios replied, “It’s Netflix. They film a few guys throughout the year. Obviously I am one of them.”

Further, trying to take a dig at the Australian Open men’s doubles champion, the spectator asked, “Why?” Replying in sarcasm, Kyrgios said, “They wanted a guy who was a bit boring, neutral, without personality.” (Translated using Google Translate)

Kyrgios is slowly and steadily finding his rhythm this season. He had to withdraw from the Sydney Tennis Classic tournament after contacting Covid-19. However, he recovered in time for the opening Grand Slam of the season. Further, he had a memorable run at the Australian Open in men’s doubles, lifting the title with compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis.

Kyrgios in Indian Wells

The Australian has had a good run so far at the BNP Paribas Open, albeit in singles this time around. He received a wildcard entry to play at the tournament as his low ranking made him unable to qualify directly. Kyrgios opened his singles campaign against the Argentine, Sebastian Baez, dismantling him in straight sets 6-4, 6-0. Further, in the second round, he was up against Federico Delbonis from Argentina. He ran riot in the second round, winning his match 6-2, 6-2 in just over an hour.

Subsequently, Kyrgios knocked out the eighth seed, Casper Ruud, in the third round 6-4, 6-4. Earlier today, he received a walk-over in his pre-quarterfinal match against Jannik Sinner, after the latter withdrew due to illness.
