"You’d think he was a 10x GS winner with that ego" - Tennis fans blast Nick Kyrgios for putting himself next to Nadal, Djokovic, and ridiculing others

Nick Kyrgios' recent statement, where he put himself in the same league as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in terms of public attention, has angered several tennis fans.Kyrgios is recovering from a knee injury at the moment, and is expected to return to action at the BNP Paribas Open next month. He is yet to play a singles tour-level match this season; his last outing was at the 2022 Japan Open in October.Recently appearing as a guest on Logan Paul's podcast called Impaulsive, Kyrgios remarked that apart from Nadal, Djokovic, and himself, no other player on the tour had much commercial value. The Aussie claimed that tickets were being sold and new fans were noticing tennis only because of him, Nadal and Djokovic.“It’s always about me or, you know, Nadal or Djokovic or me. No one else. They are like, 'You can’t do this', but then they use my name to bring tickets, fans, and everything,&quot; Kyrgios said.Fans were quick to unleash their wrath on the 27-year-old, calling him out for his apparent narcissism. Some even expressed shock at Kyrgios' audacity, especially since he has won only seven titles so far - with none of them being a big one.&quot;You’d think he was a 10x GS winner with that ego, not a guy who’s only won 7 singles titles and got away with domestic abuse O.K.,&quot; a fan tweeted.v@missh8teryou’d think he was a 10x GS winner with that ego not a guy who’s only won 7 singles titles and got away with domestic abuse O.K.7you’d think he was a 10x GS winner with that ego not a guy who’s only won 7 singles titles and got away with domestic abuse O.K.&quot;There's absolutely no stat to back up you bring more ticket sales.
