Controversy and Nick Kyrgios are two things that have always gone hand in hand during his time as a professional player and beyond. The Aussie star, known for his bold opinions, recently came up and sparked another debate after he compared earlier times with what it is now. This has since then been the talk of the town, with major players like Boris Becker coming in and sparking their opinions on the matter. One among them was the American tennis pro Tennys Sandgren.

In a recent revelation, the 32-year-old player came ahead and gave his honest opinion while revealing what he thinks of about the ongoing matter. Not only this, he gave a brilliant samurai and a marine reference to make things even clearer.

American tennis pro gives his take on the ongoing then vs now debate in tennis

In a recent revelation, Tennys Sandgren stirred up a big talk by saying it’s pointless to compare tennis players from before and after the use of poly strings. He compared it to comparing a samurai with a marine. His point? The game has changed a lot because of this new equipment.

His idea makes us think about how equipment changes might have affected how players play the game today compared to the past.
