The Australian tennis player, Nick Kyrgios, has returned to the court after enjoying a break during the off-season. However, despite a decent performance, the 27-year-old tennis player faced a defeat at the exhibition event in Dubai against the Canadian tennis star, Auger-Aliassime. Before the match, the current WTA world no.1, Iga Świątek, who is paired up with Auger-Aliassime for the doubles event, was confident that his teammate will win against Kyrgios. The Aussie wasn’t impressed with the US Open champion’s comment and reacted in his unique snarky manner. It’s safe to say that his reaction didn’t please the fans.
Świątek commented that Felix Auger-Aliassime was “more solid” and he later won the match. As a result, Kyrgios wasn’t impressed, and he reacted to her statement. A slew of tennis fans took note of Kyrgios’ comments on social media and slammed him for being salty after his defeat.
