However, others have prioritized making money with their off-court endeavors, particularly their endorsement deals with renowned brands. The same might be true for the controversial tennis star, Nick Kyrgios, who recently came to the defense of a fellow ATP player criticized for his off-court activities.

It all happened after the former Italian tennis player, Nicola Pietrangeli’s criticism of his compatriot, Matteo Berrettini, came to light. Pietrangeli lambasted him by saying that he was more interested in his endorsement deals.

It all started when the renowned journalist, Jose Morgado, shared the disparaging remarks from the former Italian tennis player. Pietrangeli said that his compatriot might be good looking, but his legs don’t move the way they should on the tennis court.

After taking note of all that criticism towards his colleague, Kyrgios fired back at the 2 singles Grand Slam champion. He stated, “But isn’t it his choice to prioritise? I can assure you this, he is making more bank than sinner off the court 🤦🏽‍♂️ and for some of us, money is important”
