Athletistic / Tennis. Famous Australian tennis player, Wimbledon 2022 finalist Nick Kyrgios has found himself in another scandal. He left an ambiguous comment under a joint photo with his ex-girlfriend, Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, which caused a negative reaction on social networks.
The day before, on September 7, Kyrgios had written “second serve” under the photo with Kalinskaya. It is currently unclear what exactly Nick meant by this. Perhaps he was referring to the fact that he was Anna’s first tennis boyfriend, while the current world number one, Italian Jannik Sinner, is the second. It is worth noting that this photo was taken by the Australian and the Russian during an NBA game in 2020.

In the comments on Nick’s post, users called on ESPN to fire the Australian from the channel’s punditry team, accusing him of sexism and calling him a misogynist.
It is worth noting that Kyrgios is one of the few tennis players on the ATP Tour to openly and harshly criticize the conduct of the doping investigation into the Jannik Sinner case.
