Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios claims to have distanced himself from controversial influencer Andrew Tate, following the latter's latest run-in with the law.
Tate and his brother Tristan are currently set to face a trial in Romania after being arrested in December 2023 over allegations of rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang - charges they deny. Earlier in February this year, Kyrgios had shared a post from Andrew Tate.

Kyrgios clarifies his involvement with Tate
As more news came to light involving Tate's alleged actions, Kyrgios was quick to release a statement saying he was unaware of the influencer's actions when he reposted his clips.
"I was not aware of the full picture when I reposted Andrew Tate," a statement from Kyrgios to BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour read.
Kyrgios himself has been facing some trouble with the law lately, as the former Wimbledon finalist pleaded guilty in February 2023 to assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
"What I did was wrong, and I think I’ve been very clear about that. I reacted to a difficult situation in a way that I deeply regret," Kyrgios said. "I have apologized, and I really meant when I said nothing like it will ever happen again.
"For now, I’m just so happy to be here at Wimbledon and doing my best to share some insights into the tournament for everyone watching on the BBC.”

The former World No.13 will be part of BBC's TV team at Wimbledon, which begins on Monday. Kyrgios will feature on BBC TV for six days of Wimbledon, which runs until 14 July.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.

Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
