"Lemme remind you before you open your mouth": Kyrgios boasts on leading ATP Tour in certain statistics despite continued injury woes
ATPFriday, 28 July 2023 at 12:30
Australia’s tennis star Nick Kyrgios has reminded everyone
that he is leading a number of ATP tour charts.
The 28-year-old is famous for being outspoken, something
that has not always gone down well with the fans.
In an interesting tweet on Thursday evening, Kyrgios shared
a picture of him at the very top in two categories in the ATP tour—service and
performance under pressure—with a caption: “Lemme remind you before you open
your mouth.”
The list was indeed an interesting one considering it features
the likes of current world number one Carlos Alcaraz, the 23-time Grand Slam
winner Serbia’s Novak Djokovic and the world number five Greece’s Stefanos
Tsitsipas.
Kyrgios has been out of action for a while because of injuries
and had to sit out of all three Grand Slams in 2023.
His best year was the last one where he managed to play in
his only Grand Slam final in Wimbledon. However, it was a rather disappointing
end for him as he lost to Djokovic in four sets with a score of 4–6, 6–3, 6–4,
7–6(7–3).
He then went on to play in the quarterfinal of the US Open
where he lost to Russia’s Karen Khachanov in a five-set thriller with a score
of 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-7, 6-4.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
