In what was a great video, Nick Kyrgios took part in Naughty or Nice with Ben Shelton, Naomi Osaka and Aryna Sabalenka who he played with during the Atlanta Cup.
Kyrgios was asked Naughty or Nice about Swiatek and he said naughty and was the only one to do so before promptly switching his tact likely swiping at the doping saga.
Others who were included were Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Bublik among others in something that produced mixed reaction from each players based off their own circumstances.
"I just think that it's been handled horrifically in our sport," said Kyrgios at the time about Swiatek. "Two world number ones both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It's a horrible look."
While he swiped at her while complimenting her tennis at Wimbledon. “Do I think it’s a good look for the sport that Swiatek and Sinner are in the final at Wimbledon after serving a ban? I don’t think it’s a good look for the sport.
“And I think people could agree. But I’m not going to sit there and talk about that [on commentary] in the final. They’ve been playing some incredible tennis.
Home town hero Anisimova reflects on New Jersey homecoming
Amanda Anisimova lost out to Jessica Pegula in a comeback win for her fellow American. It was a 6-3, 6-7, 10-8 win for Pegula who will face off against Anisimova again tonight at the Miami Marlins.
"Had fun with this gang in Jersey. @jpegula @carlitosalcarazz @bigfoe1998 See you all at the Miami Marlins tonight," she wrote on Instagram.
She spoke before the exhibition about what it meant to be to rturn home. "I always feel that connection, especially with fans and people who are from New Jersey. Every time I play in the U.S. Open or I'm playing a tournament in the States, I always have such great support and a crowd from New Jersey. And, yeah, I always hear people rooting for me and telling me, “Oh, I know you're from Freehold and you're a New Jersey girl.” So it's always heartwarming to hear, and I always feel really connected to the people from New Jersey."
She also spoke about the mental toughness to come back after losing in the finals of Wimbledon and US Open. "It's been such a great year for me. And I think during this time off that I've had, I've definitely had some time to process and kind of see how far I've come. But at the same time, I'm setting goals for myself for next year and thinking about how far I want to go and how I can improve. But yeah, it's been a whirlwind of a year for sure, and I'm really excited to build on that.
"I think I've worked on myself a lot mentally and thought about how I want to handle those high-stress situations that I didn't do so well in a few years ago. And I think this year that's been my strongest aspect, or strongest part of my game, because the mental toughness does play a huge role, especially in tennis. And I think that's really shown for me this year, especially in those big matches and bouncing back from Wimbledon and just being able to do it all over again at the U.S. Open."

Sabalenka was singing along and laughing at Kyrgios to the Drake song Up All Night. They face off on December 28th in the UAE in the Battle of the Sexes.
"I'm not a stranger to taking the heat from the media, but I'm excited whatever the result may be," said Kyrgios recently.
"I'm going to go out there and show the world that as good as she is, she's got some weaknesses."
"Obviously you've got one potentially, I think, one of the greatest of all time women's players and she's not even almost close to scratching the surface of what she can achieve. I think she wins multiple more Grand Slams."
"She's honestly been talking a little bit more about this match than I have, but I'm ready to take the challenge. I'm going to go out there and, in all honesty, it's a lot of pressure for me too."
