The latter stated that his criticism directed at the Italian was just to protect the integrity of the sport; however, one of the tennis journalists, Jon Wertheim, suggested that the Aussie was targeting Sinner because the latter is dating his ex-girlfriend, Anna Kalinskaya.In one of the episodes of the 'Served with Andy Roddick' podcast, Wertheim stated that Kyrgios was not concerned about doping, but it was just a personal vendetta."Beyond the needles and the emojis, he demonstrated such a fundamental lack of understanding of facts, it makes you think this is not a good faith effort. You know, he's the great hero who's going to finally be the truth teller who talks about how corrupt the sport is. That's not what this is. This is just a personal vendetta. There is a woman involved here, who also happens to be a player," Wertheim said.Along with this, the journalist also highlighted Kyrgios' flawed understanding about the doping protocols."His explanation was so flawed, you're thinking if you're gonna attack a colleague, who happens to be ranked No. 1, coached by someone you work with, if you're gonna attack that person, nail the facts. But he didn't even seem to understand the doping protocols and the context to begin with which leads me to conclude this is all just a bad faith vendetta against a player who's now dating a former girlfriend and nothing more," he added. Anna Kalinskaya and Jannik Sinner started dating in April 2024, and shortly after his doping ban, Sinner confirmed his breakup with the Russian at a press conference.
