"Media team is working over time": Nick Kyrgios mocks Jannik Sinner after launch of YouTube channel

Australia’s Nicholas Kyrgios has once again mocked Italy’s Jannik Sinner regarding doping scandal. The 23-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category, along with the likes of Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic. Sinner, who is the current world number one, recently clinched his third Grand Slam title after beating world number two Alexander Zverev in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 6-3. Despite that achievement, the reigning world number one remains under discussion regarding his alleged doping scandal. The three-time Grand Slam winner tested positive for banned substances on two occasions in March last year. Despite that, Sinner managed to avoid a ban after the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) announced that they had accepted the player’s counsel’s response where they claimed that the availability of the banned substance in the player’s sample was because of receiving cream for treatment from one member of the coaching staff. That verdict received serious backlash from some of the current and former tennis player and Kyrgios remains the most vocal one. The one-time Grand Slam runner-up, who started his own YouTube channel, in a recent post on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — once again mocked Sinner while responding to a comment on the social media platform. “He has brought out a YouTube channel - hopefully he has the behind the scenes of what happened a year ago 😂 media team is working over time mate – disgusting,” he wrote. The verdict by ITIA, however, has been challenged by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and demanded a two-year ban for the reigning world number one in men’s tennis. The verdict regarding the decision is expected to arrive in April later this year.
