"Lived freely the whole time, although not sure Boris had the same experience": Nick Kyrgios continues to mock Boris Becker on social media

Kyrgios continues the ongoing dispute with Boris Becker, and this time, he used
social media to mock the former world No. 1 for having been in jail and going
bankrupt. It all started a few days ago when the Australian expressed his
opinion that players from past eras would struggle to be competitive nowadays
because the speed of the game has evolved over the years.
According
to Kyrgios, players from the past were too slow, and Becker responded by
mentioning Kyrgios's achievements on the court. The 6-times Grand Slam champion
told him to show respect for the past, but the 2022 Wimbledon finalist didn't
appreciate Becker's comment.
Last year,
the current coach of Holger Rune faced legal issues for hiding assets in his
bankruptcy. Becker was convicted by the UK court, serving eight months in
prison and declaring bankruptcy. A fan took sides for the German on social
media, comparing Becker's 6 Grand Slams to Kyrgios offering free subscriptions
to his OnlyFans account.
"Hahahaha
ONE WENT TO PRISON (ran out of money) the other is using his brand to make
more. Goodnight," Nick Kyrgios wrote.
Another fan
also gave his opinion and attacked Kyrgios, suggesting that the former world
No. 13 once assaulted his ex-girlfriend, as he was recently involved in such an
accusation before the court, although the charges were eventually dropped.
"Hmmm
you might want to fact check that. Clean. Charges got dropped. Lived freely the
whole time. Although not sure Boris had the same experience," Kyrgios
said.
When does Kyrgios return?
Nick
Kyrgios played for the last time at the Stuttgart Open at the beginning of the
grass season, his only match in 2023, in which he lost to the Chinese player Wu
Yibing (7-5, 6-3). The 28-year-old Australian dealt with injuries, and although
his return was expected at the end of the year for some exhibitions, he
ultimately decided against it. He also announced that he won't participate in
the Australian Open. Kyrgios has not provided a return date yet, and it doesn't
seem to be soon.

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026

AceOfBase11-09-2026 - Oh my God!! Does anyone proofread these pages??? Case in point: However, the question mark over the 32-years-old head......???? No! No! No! However, the question mark over the 32-year-old's head...good grief man, hire a proofreader. This article is rife with errors making some sentences very difficult to read. I had to stop. I am a proofreader hence my disgust.Rapunzel10-09-2026
- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
- Huge win for Ben! He needed this. Amazing that Alcaraz took over four months off and still was able to make the QF’s and take Ben to a fifth set tie break! Insane tennis. Tiafoe vs. Shelton should be a good one too. Americans might finally get their US Open Champion after 23 years!DaveyWavey09-09-2026

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026
