Nick Kyrgios addresses Becker beef

Social media disputes have a way of becoming more intense than they actually need to be. Kyrgios seemingly started one of these disputes with Becker. However, he sought to end the brewing conflict with a clarifying statement posted on Twitter. In the tweet, he emphasized that he has never sought to diminish the achievements of legends like Becker. Kyrgios never even claimed a more significant influence on the game.

In his words: “Not once have I taken ‘slams’ away from Becker, or any of these legends. Not once have I said I’ve impacted the game MORE. I’ve simply said that I’ve built my own brand and done it my way & brought fans. Apparently, a slam finalist has no credibility. Night, done with this convo.” Kyrgios took a moment to highlight his unique approach to the sport and again emphasized that he has built his own brand and brought fans to the game. The tweet implied a frustration with the perception that even after being a Grand Slam finalist his credibility is under scrutiny.
