Guess he’s high on the drugs he’s taking for the cut on his foot. Rafa won TWO Grand Slams last year 🙄Nick Kyrgios' bad-boy image is something tennis "needs," feels sports journalistNick Krygios at the 2022 US Open.Journalist Eric Hubbs believes that Nick Kyrgios' on-court antics are beneficial for tennis as they attract new viewers to the sport.Kyrgios has always been a controversial figure in the tennis world, constantly sparking debates among fans. However, Hubbs recently defended the Australian on the Tennis Channel Inside-In podcast, stating that the sport "needs" him."That guy is so polarizing, some people think he's horrible for the sport," Hubbs said. "I think the sport maybe not needs him because he may have bridged the gap to Carlos [Alcaraz], the guy who has taken the reins here, but for a little while, we needed Nick to do his thing and to win a few tournaments."Hubbs added that Holger Rune was following in Nick Kyrgios' footsteps, which could be why the two players bond well."Holger is getting there too, and of course, who is there to defend Holger but Nick because he feels him and knows what he's going through," Hubbs said. "I don't find anything wrong with those guys, they're great for the sport."Eric Hubbs went on to claim that players Kyrgios and Rune have been successful in converting casual tennis enthusiasts into ardent fans."I don't want people forcing themselves to become villains but when it naturally flows that way and a guy plays with the crowd, that's cool, fun and exciting," he said.Nick Kyrgios is set to make a comeback at the ATP 250 Boss Open scheduled to be played in Germany's Stuttgart from June 12-18.
