"Domestic abusers shouldn't be allowed on tour " - Tennis fans slam Kyrgios following his reaction to not qualifying for ATP Finals singles event

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis have qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals doubles event, which will be held in Turin from November 13–20.

The fact that they have won a Grand Slam and are between the eighth and 20th-ranked ATP Doubles Team following the Paris Masters guarantees them a spot in the competition, even though they are now seventh in the Race to Turin.

Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski, Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury, Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer, Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic, and others will be in the lineup, and this week's Paris Masters will determine who will fill the final three spots.

Despite qualifying, the former World No.13 expressed his disappointment at not being able to play in the singles. He took to social media to write:

"Shudda (should have) been singles as well."

Owing to this, tennis fans criticized the Australian on Twitter, claiming that he didn't really deserve to qualify for the ATP Finals.

"Stop crying mate. Shudda beaten the GOAT if you wanted to qualify, as a quote from Top Gun goes, "there are no points for second place". I understand this is too difficult for you, so the other option was to call out the player council for this decision back in July. Now sit down," another user tweeted.

"No one tell him that if every tournament he played in gave him points, he still wouldn't have qualified," another account posted.

"Shudda got enough points to qualify," another user chimed in.

The barbs were not limited to just the tennis court, as some fans took shots at Kyrgios' ongoing domestic abuse allegations case.

"And you should be in jail but we can't get everything we dream of," one user wrote.

"Shouldn't you be attending court instead mate," wrote another.

"Domestic abusers shouldn't be allowed on tour and yet," chimed in another user.
