Take the example of the 2022 Miami Open. He was irked by the chair umpire’s decisions during his pre-quarterfinal encounter against Jannik Sinner. Subsequently, he directed his frustration toward him which resulted in him being fined heavily. Recently, an unwanted Kyrgios record came to light to which the Australian star had a sarcastic response.

Kyrgios has missed almost the entire 2023 season owing to injuries. His comeback remains uncertain as he’s still recovering from it. Let’s find out what he said about his unwanted tennis record.

Nick Kyrgios takes a sarcastic jibe at his record

Recently, Nick Kyrgios was involved in an interview with Piers Morgan where he talked about various subjects – from his tennis career to his involvement in other sports. During that interview, an unwanted record came to light about him. Kyrgios has received almost $575,000 in fines, which is the most a player has received in tennis history.

When asked if he was proud of that record, Kyrgios said, “It goes to charity so on the flip side I could be the most generous ATP player ever. Sometimes when I watch my highlights back and I realized look I probably shouldn’t have done that look there’s some regret in some of my actions.”

Further, he went on to add, “Obviously like I’m not going to sit here and say no that was always warranted no sometimes I do cross the line but competitors out there know that and I think if you look at other sports you know trash talking is normal.”
