Nick Kyrgios faces calls to be sacked from his role at ESPN after making a controversial remark about his former girlfriend, Anna Kalinskaya.
The Australian tennis player sparked outrage among fans with his reaction to an old photograph of the couple.
The photo, which surfaced showing Kyrgios and Kalinskaya together from four years ago, prompted a response from Kyrgios that many found offensive.
In reply to the image, he commented “second serve.”
Don’t you think it’s hilarious how quickly people get triggered 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 with a couple words, or emojis…. Too much power

This comment has drawn significant criticism and led to calls for him to be removed from his position as a commentator for ESPN.
Russian tennis star Kalinskaya is now dating world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who recently came under fire from Kyrgios after being exonerated from testing positive for doping.
