After withdrawing from Rogers Cup, Nick Kyrgios has dropped out of the top 100 of the ATP rankings. Knowing Kyrgios’ history of disrespecting lower-ranked players, a critic mocked the Australian indicating that he would now be ranked below the players he shows contempt towards.

However, Kyrgios fired back, saying, “Protected ranking of 21 and will be able to get wildcards whenever I please. Good try tho.😂” He further added, “That’s what happens when you pack out crowds everywhere in the world my boy. That includes you live streaming it with your hands down your p*nts 👀😂😴”

The fans were furious with his condescendence and lashed out at him on Twitter.

He was also sarcastically mocked by a few fans.

Fans chastised Kyrgios and suggested that his tweet was filled with narcissism.

“Nick, it’s not too late to log off buddy.”, sums up the reaction of a large majority of tennis fans.

One of the fans minced no words in ridiculing Kyrgios. She called him a bully and pointed out that occupying wildcard spots is not a flex by any means.

Another fan made a point that Kyrgios might not receive as many wildcards since he hasn’t achieved much in his career.

Bro thinks he knows ball 🤣🤣“, said another fan to mock Kyrgios’ opinion.
