(VIDEO) "One thing me and Piers Morgan agree on": Nick Kyrgios implies dislike of Megan Rapinoe by agreeing with comment accusing footballer of 'diabolical arrogance'
Tennis News
Nick Kyrgios took to social media to share his agreement with controversial TV personality Piers Morgan's comments calling US football star Megan Rapinoe arrogant.
2022 Wimbledon finalist Kyrgios is known for speaking his mind both in person and online, something which he has done again recently on X, formerly known as Twitter, as he agreed with Morgan's condemnation of Rapinoe's conduct.
This comes in the aftermath of team USA's early exit from the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, currently taking place across Australia and New Zealand. The two-time defending champions lost their Round of 16 match against Sweden 5-4 on penalties, shocking football fans the world over.

Piers Morgan doubles down on former criticism
In the wake of this defeat, Rapinoe received criticism for laughing after missing her shot in the penalty shootout, and the censure didn't end there for the 38-year-old.
Indeed, a video from 2019 also resurfaced showing Rapinoe signing a ball for a young fan. Whilst this sounds harmless enough, Morgan shared his criticism of the situation at the time, accusing Rapinoe of barely acknowledging the boy throughout the interaction.
"Wow. Doesn't even look at him.. such an arrogant piece of work," Morgan tweeted.
Following the video's re-appearance, Morgan doubled down on his critique, posting:
"Doesn't even look at him. Diabolical arrogance."

Following this, Kyrgios posted about his agreement with Morgan on twitter.
"Hahahahahaha one thing me and piers [Morgan] agree on," he wrote.
However, some social media users accused the 28-year-old of similar behavior:
"you do the exact same the majority of the time," commented one. Meanwhile, others suggested the clip could have been taken out of context:
"How do we make a judgement based on such a short video? Perhaps he talked to her before and went back to get something for her to autograph," responded one, whilst yet another pointed out that Rapinoe had done what the boy asked:
"She signed it, didn’t she?," they wrote.
The Australian player has missed most of the 2023 season so far due to various injuries, and it is currently unclear when the former world No. 13 will return to the court.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. 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" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
