Nick Kyrgios has been absent from the tennis tour ever since he was injured in January. Despite his absence, the Aussie still appears in the capacity of a player in interviews and on social media. Recently, he appeared on the Piers Morgan uncensored show, where the two had banter after Morgan name-dropped Roger Federer out of nowhere. 

The two bantered about a moment of Kyrgios from the 2022 Wimbledon. During one of his post-match press conferences, Kyrgios was snacking as he discussed an important point with the journalists. He touched upon the point as Morgan served to aggravate him slightly.

Roger Federer gets mentioned in Nick Kyrgios’ banter

While Kyrgios waits to return to the sport, he uses his expertise to give interviews in various areas in the tennis world. He appeared in the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, where he talked with the host about his infamous tussle with journalists from the 2022 Wimbledon press conference. Morgan said that he agreed with Kyrgios’ initial point, but his snacking was a sign of disrespect, which one would never see from Federer.

Annoyed at his statement, Kyrgios said, “But I’m not Roger Federer. You can’t expect everyone to be Roger Federer, you can’t do that; it’s unfair. That means 99% of tennis tour are not up to Roger Federer’s standards. That’s sport, that’s personality. He also has nine people in his team to make sure he has food ready. I only have 3.”

Before Morgan made his point, he also showed a clip where Kyrgios was talking about the importance of electronic line calling while he was eating sushi. 

Kyrgios’ infamous argument at the 2022 Wimbledon

The Aussie bad boy reached the final of the Wimbledon in 2022, his first slam final, which became a highlight of his career. However, before the final, his outburst at a linesperson became well known. He played against Paul Jubb in the first round and blew up at a linesperson when they made an incorrect call, saying that they couldn’t see the ball because they were in their 90s.

While giving his response, Kyrgios was eating sushi and said that if the person was arguably 40, they would’ve seen that the shot was in. The moment became a glaring part of his 2022 Wimbledon tour, and the following press conference also added to another one of his infamous controversial moments.

However, he has come out to justify his move and left it open to the people for judgment.
