Nick Kyrgios took another swipe at tennis by pointing out how European players have an unfair advantage due to the fact that most tennis events are held in Europe.
This stance is far less controversial than any of his previous stances because for the most part, it's very true. Speaking after one of his Halle matches Kyrgios pointed out how European players have an unfair advantage with many events being staged on the old continent.
He said:
“European players can play clay court all year around and finish like 70 in the world. And they don’t even have to leave. Where an Australian player has to travel six months a year and not see his family, not see his friends. I have played five events this year and I am like 50 in the world and I have to travel.”
He further added:
“So if I have six grass courts in Australia, I would never leave the country. Like I would never leave the country. Why I would leave the country? I don’t even know some of the people in top 100 I am being serious. I don’t know them.”
Now that second comment is quite interesting from Kyrgios and a bit more true to his style. But as with anything Kyrgios said, it's probably honest but you never know how serious he means it.
