Boris Becker’s bombshell to Nick Kyrgios: “You better go talk to your Only Fans”

Nick Kyrgios was one of those talents who rarely emerge in tennis and who everyone dreams of seeing among the most select in this sport. In addition, the Australian has an extroverted, even extravagant personality. This combination was almost a guarantee that he would become one of those players who marked an era on the tour.

Unfortunately, apart from a few sparks, his sporting performances, which count in the long term, were far from the expectations he had aroused during his appearance. In 2023, in fact, following two serious injuries, he did not play a match and found himself without a ranking. Not much remains of the player who was 13th in the world rankings . Almost nothing. In fact, Kyrgios himself has spoken about the possibility of retiring. “If it were up to me, I wouldn’t really want to play anymore, to be honest. . I’m exhausted, I’m tired. I’m only 28 years old, I always wanted to start a family and not suffer. When I get up, I can’t walk without pain. Maybe I’ll play for another year or two. , to say goodbye on my own terms. I have a lot more to give, but I don’t want to play tennis anymore,” he explained in an interview on the On Purpose podcast.

Kyrgios can’t fight. His latest decision sums up the controversy over his personality: he opened an Only Fans account, a content sharing platform for adults. And it was there that he made a transcendent announcement. “It’s a very disappointing moment for me, but I won’t be able to participate in the 2024 Australian Open,” he said. “Obviously, it’s heartbreaking. I had so many amazing memories there, and I just want to get back to playing at the top of my game and doing well, and I need a little more time. “he added. “I was so close to winning a Grand Slam [en 2022, en Wimbledon]. I want to make sure my body has the time it needs to come back, so bear with me. “, he insisted.

However, true to his seal, he also never misses the opportunity to get into trouble. The last, following a tennis comment, but loaded with dynamite. “The game was very slow at the time. I saw Boris Becker and I’m not saying they weren’t good in their day, but to say they would be just as good now is absurd. “, he said in a dialogue with The Athletic.

The analysis continued. “At the time, high duty equated to a speed between 197 and 200 km/h. People like me, we’re constantly shooting 220. It’s a whole different ball game. I’m not saying they wouldn’t have found their way. But to serve and steal now all the time, you have to serve at 220, because if you serve at less than 220, brother, Djokovic will eat you alive. eat you alive “he added.

Becker picked up the glove. He did so from a privileged place in the history of white sport, in which he won 49 titles, including six in the Grand Slam category. “Is Nick making a lot of noise about tennis lately?! Why is he talking about a sport he apparently hates? Fact Check: Nick has never won a major championship as a player or coach (yes, in double 1), so where does the credibility come from? “, replied the German, with the same violence as he had done from the baseline.

“You try to compare generations… Laver against Federer, Borg against Nadal, Sampras against Djokovic?! I’m not even going to mention McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, Agassi, Courier, Edberg, Wilander, Kuerten, Bruguera, Rafter, Hewitt and many others. “, he asserts, in open defense of a visibly prodigious generation.

The conclusion is, in short, a bombshell. “Talk to your @OnlyFans about many things except tennis!!! said Becker to keep a match point in mind in the competition.
