Nick Kyrgios has been one of the most energetic players on the ATP circuit. Fans can rest assured that if it is a match with the Australian in it; it is sure to be entertaining. He is known for his on-court tantrums and rants, which often see him face a warning or a point penalty! He also plays tournaments on his terms and does not seem to be overly concerned about his rankings or success on the tour.

This has been criticized by many experts over the years. And most conservative fans find this behavior disrespectful, to say the least. But, Corentin Moutet, opened up about how big an achievement it was to be a Top 20 player in the world; like many, he feels that Kyrgios’s actions are not anything out of the ordinary, instead, his reactions make him more human!

French young player defends Nick Kyrgios

Recently in an interview, a journalist Bertie Miller said that Nick Kyrgios has the potential to do so much better, but he acts like a tourist on the ATP tour, playing whenever he wants to and skipping the rest of the tournaments. But French player Corentin Moutet came to the Australian’s defense. And said that he was an extremely talented player for him to be thus ridiculed. However, Moutet, the french tennis player, came to Kyrgios’ defense.

“Shame on you @Berti_Milliard for qualifying as a “tourist”@NickKyrgios who beat Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, won 6 ATP, 1 final in 1000 and 1 GS in doubles. And who was 13th in the world in his sport. It’s time to realize that being 13th in the world is not trivial,” Moutet said.

Miller also replied to this accusation. He said that “shame” is possibly too strong a word to use. And this is unfair because he always supports Kyrgios, but the way he acts does emphasize how unprofessional he is; in terms 0f the tour.
