Out of Tennis Action for Months, Controversial Tennis Star Uses Twitter to Ridicule Haters as He Picks Andrey Rublev’s Saddening Cincinnati Open Moment to Prove His Point

Tennis can sometimes be cruel to even the best players on the tour. While wins and losses are a part of the game, sometimes unexpected losses can take a heavy toll on the player. The same thing happened with Andrey Rublev who suffered an unexpected loss at the Cincinnati Masters. After his loss, the player from Russia could not control his emotions as he was seen crying. However, Australian player Nick Kyrgios did not hold back as he took a dig at the Russian player following his loss.

Nick is currently out of the ATP tour. The Australian player suffered an injury prior to Wimbledon which forced him to pull out of the tournament. However, the Australian player talked about Rublev’s raw emotions and shared his views following the Russian’s loss.

Nick Krygios takes a dig at Andrey Rublev following his loss

In a gripping showdown at the Cincinnati Open, Andrey Rublev faced an unexpected defeat against Emil Ruusuvuori in a riveting three-set match that had tennis enthusiasts on the edge of their seats. The battle between the two players showcased an unyielding spirit as they relentlessly pushed each other to the limits.

However, it was Rublev who ultimately fell short, his emotions laid bare in the face of defeat. The poignant moment when tears welled up in Rublev’s eyes during a changeover was caught on camera, prompting The Tennis Letter to share the video on Twitter. Their caption, emphasizing Rublev’s raw and unfiltered emotional response, struck a chord with fans worldwide.

However, not everyone perceived Rublev’s emotional outpouring in the same light. In a characteristic move, Nick Kyrgios injected a note of sarcasm into the conversation, suggesting that what some label as ‘raw’ and ’emotional’ could also be seen from a different angle.

“Funny for some it’s ‘raw’ & ‘showing emotions’ 😂😂😂”- wrote Kyrgios responding to the tweet.

Kyrgios’ comment implied that vulnerability on the court might be subjected to diverse interpretations. While many praised Rublev for his openness, Kyrgios’ remark highlighted the nuanced nature of emotions in the high-stakes world of professional tennis.

However, this is not the first time that the Australian player has been the one to mock players. Recently, he went ahead to mock a survey that took place in America among young tennis players.

Nick Kyrgios makes an honest opinion on the American tennis survey

In a survey conducted by L. Jon Wertheim, he concluded that 3 out of the 4 recreational tennis players in America are confident enough of defeating any tennis pro player in a 3-set encounter. Nick could not seem to stop his emotions as he busted out in laughter following the comments made by the journalist. ‘Hahahahahah’ reacted the Australian which clearly shows his disbelief from the survey.

Thus, Nick Kyrgios has been upfront when it comes to putting his honest opinion on the table. Rublev’s recent loss in the Cincinnati Masters is an example of the uncertainties that the game possesses. However, the Russian player will now be looking to make an emphatic comeback when he plays next at the US Open.
