Andy Roddick Criticizes Nick Kyrgios Over Hypocrisy in Doping Scandal Commentary

Roddick calls out Kyrgios for targeting Jannik Sinner while ignoring his own history of controversial behavior and online bullying.

  • Andy Roddick accused Nick Kyrgios of hypocrisy for his harsh comments on Jannik Sinner's doping case, despite Kyrgios' own troubled past with online bullying and criticism.
  • Jannik Sinner tested positive for a banned substance in 2024 but was found to bear no fault, a decision Kyrgios has publicly condemned as damaging to tennis integrity.
  • Kyrgios drew backlash for mocking 16-year-old Cruz Hewitt's practice session with Sinner, which Roddick criticized as inappropriate and self-centered behavior.
  • Tennis insider Jon Wertheim suggested Kyrgios' vendetta against Sinner might stem from personal reasons, including Sinner's relationship with Kyrgios' ex-girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya, a claim Kyrgios denied.
  • Both Kyrgios and Sinner are preparing for the 2025 Australian Open, though Kyrgios' participation is uncertain due to an abdominal injury.
