Nick Kyrgios’ Australian Open hopes in danger as he withdraws from another warm-up event | Tennis | Sport

Kyrgios, 27, has yet to comment himself on his latest withdrawal. Previously this week, he took to Twitter to take aim at the media for branding him a “villain” over the United Cap saga.

“Haha so after all this, all the media, journalism saying how bad I am for the sport, disrespecting the game (and) just a pure villain, I am going to be the number one episode on Netflix… to grow our fan base, basically trying to put tennis on the map again,” he said.

“And essentially putting more money in everyone’s pockets that’s involved with tennis, you all look really ridiculous now your apology should be as loud as your disrespect was.”
