After withdrawing from Rogers Cup, Nick Kyrgios has dropped out of the top 100 of the ATP rankings. Knowing Kyrgios’ history of disrespecting lower-ranked players, a critic mocked the Australian indicating that he would now be ranked below the players he shows contempt towards.
However, Kyrgios fired back, saying, “Protected ranking of 21 and will be able to get wildcards whenever I please. Good try tho.😂” He further added, “That’s what happens when you pack out crowds everywhere in the world my boy. That includes you live streaming it with your hands down your p*nts 👀😂😴”

One of the fans minced no words in ridiculing Kyrgios. She called him a bully and pointed out that occupying wildcard spots is not a flex by any means.
Taking wildcards away from other deserving and hardworking players is not the flex you think it is. Besides, you ain't entertaining, you're just a bully. https://t.co/VHaW7T5nDa

Another fan made a point that Kyrgios might not receive as many wildcards since he hasn’t achieved much in his career.
You might be the biggest entertainer in the game, but you still haven’t reached the stature of the legends of the game yet. Doubt how many wildcards you would get. Grow up dude, start respecting the game, the players/lower ranked players (meaning both ATP and WTA)

“Bro thinks he knows ball 🤣🤣“, said another fan to mock Kyrgios’ opinion.

He has often been on the receiving end of criticism for his strong opinions. Fans believe that most of his comments are unnecessary and only tarnishes his reputation further.
