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.
I’m excited for it! I’m missing the heck out of Nick! I was sad he pulled out of Laver Cup because that’s where we see the real Nick, in a team environment. I know it’s love him or hate him, everyone is entitled to an opinion. I think if he’s given a chance he’ll surprise people.
