Nick Kyrgios took to Instagram to mock Jannik Sinner following news that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will appeal against the verdict clearing Sinner of fault or negligence in a doping case. The Italian tennis star, who recently rose to world No. 1, was initially cleared by an independent tribunal after testing positive for a banned substance. The tribunal ruled that Sinner bore “no fault or negligence” for the positive test, which was believed to be the result of contaminated supplements.
However, WADA has decided to challenge this verdict, seeking to overturn the decision. This announcement stirred controversy in the tennis world, and Kyrgios, known for his outspoken and often controversial social media presence, wasted no time in making his feelings known.
On Instagram, Kyrgios posted a mocking comment aimed at Sinner, sparking further debate. Kyrgios has a history of taking jabs at fellow players, but his latest post has raised eyebrows, given the seriousness of the situation. While some fans found Kyrgios’ comment humorous, others criticized him for making light of a sensitive issue.
Sinner, for his part, has remained focused on his game and has not responded publicly to Kyrgios’ comment. The appeal process could take months to resolve, and it remains to be seen how the situation will affect Sinner’s career and reputation, as well as his rivalry with Kyrgios.
