Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios bashed a fan on X, formerly known as Twitter, for saying that he isn't good for tennis.
Krygios, 28, acknowledged Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic's heroics but he does not agree with those who think that he is not good for the game.
A fan on X posted after the Cincinnati Open final, where Djokovic and Alcaraz had a three-set battle that lasted for almost 4 hours, and criticised the Australian.
"Just remember Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz duelling it out for 3 hours the next time Nick Kyrgios comes on Twitter to tell us all that he's good for the game," an X user posed.
Kyrgios, who is heavily active on X where he engages with fans, noticed the post and responded in his own way.
"They are also good for the game? Haha I never said they weren’t. You are lying to yourself if you think I’m not good for the game….. could give you a few reasons….. leading episodes on Netflix to get tennis back on the map…. Shall I go on? I love Alcaraz and ND," he wrote.
Nick is now aiming for a strong comeback after missing out on all four slams in a single season for the first time in his career.
"To my millions of fans out there, I guess we just have to be patient. Trust me, I still have some fire left in the tank, my body just needs time to recover and get back," Kyrgios captioned his Instagram story.
"I'm still as motivated as ever, in the gym, treatment, recovery. Everything off court is doing great. I am eyeing to come back and have a season like my last again."
The 28-year-old recently withdrew from the upcoming US Open after already missing out on the Australia Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon due to knee, wrist and foot injuries.
It must be noted that Kyrgios is one of the most talented players in tennis but is known to have a bad temperament. He has been in the news many times for reasons other than tennis.
