In the tennis world, players often find themselves engaged in various activities beyond the confines of the court. Nick Kyrgios, who had been sidelined for the majority of this year due to a severe knee injury, recently found a unique opportunity to make his mark at the ATP Tour Finals. But you might wonder, how did Nick qualify for the event when he barely played during the season?

The answer came out with an unexpected twist. Nick Kyrgios will not be competing against the other final participants like Novak Djokovic, but will instead be seen as an analyst at the Tennis Channel during the ATP Tour Finals. Besides the news of his joining the box as an analyst, what’s even more exciting is the surprising response from Paul Annacone, an accomplished tennis coach, and fellow analyst who will be working alongside Kyrgios during the event.

‘My Condolences to Viewers’ – Nick Kyrgios’ New Role Upsets Tennis Community as They Question Broadcaster’s ‘Joke’ of a Hiring

This isn’t the first time spectators will watch him outside the court but in the frame. However, fans are divided about the temperamental 28-year-old joining the Tennis Channel – some are super excited, but some hold their reservations.

Fans are polarized over the Kyrgios announcement

As the announcement of Nick Kyrgios joining the Tennis Channel as an analyst made waves across the tennis community, fans didn’t hold back on expressing their thoughts. Some reactions, reflecting Kyrgios’ previous highlights, happened to be quite disrespectful. One fan took to social media to voice his disapproval, stating, “Will watch through another service or even illegal streams without commentators lol. I’m not feeding this s***. They could’ve just hired someone articulate and SMART like a Chris Eubanks, not a narcissistic jobless a**.”

This strong reaction reflected the sentiment of some fans who seemed unconvinced by the decision to bring Kyrgios into the analyst team. The comment despised the preference as they demanded a better choice, suggesting that the Greek might not be the ideal choice in the eyes of everyone. However, some fans disagreed, as a show of positive sentiments was also expressed.

While it still remains to be witnessed how these varied opinions prove to be as Kyrgios steps into his new role on the Tennis Channel, what are your thoughts on the controversial star taking over the commentating mantle?
