"He makes me excited about tennis": Nick Kyrgios calls Carlos Alcaraz a 'scary freak' after calling Gasquet win
ATPWednesday, 17 January 2024 at 02:30
Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has called Spain’s young
sensation Carlos Alcaraz a ‘freak’ after his first-round heroics in the Australian
Open.
The first Grand Slam of the year is already underway where
players from all over the world are participating and showcasing their talent
at the highest level.
Alcaraz, who is renowned as one of the most highly-rated players
currently playing in the circuit alongside Italy’s Jannik Sinner and America’s
Ben Shelton, started brilliantly in Melbourne where he registered a win in the straight set against France’s Richard Gasquet with a score of 7-6, 6-1, 6-2.
Kyrgios, who is currently spending his time off the court as
he continues his recovery from an injury, was recently quoted in a report where
he called Alcaraz a ‘freak’ after his impressive start in the mega-event.
“He makes me excited about tennis,” said Kyrgios. “Guy’s
scary. End range. He’s a freak when he’s on end range like that. Intangibles
are top notch. He’s one person I do want to face, I want to play and I want to
give a good crack at when I go back. Before it’s all said and done, it’d be
fun. Hopefully he’s nice to me. His bad days are still my good days.”
The current world number and two-time Grand Slam winner will
now face Italy’ Lorenzo Sonego in the second round of the mega-event on
Thursday.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
