Kyrgios has been the target of fans ever since the trailer of Break Point came out on YouTube. In the trailer, we can hear Kyrgios talking about the expectation and pressure of being the next big thing in tennis. After the release of the trailer, fans called out the Aussie for the same.
While most of fans agree that Kyrgios is one of the best players in the world currently, they refused to consider him the next big thing. The primary reason they gave for trolling the Aussie was his age. Kyrgios is going to turn 28 in a few months and he is still to win his first Grand Slam title.
