Stefanos Tsitsipas reacts to Nick Kyrgios’ withdrawal from Australia’s United Cup

·

Greek tennis star, Stefanos Tsitsipas, has taken a subtle dig at Nick Kyrgios after he withdrew from Australia’s inaugural United Cup at the last minute.

When fronting the media on Wednesday, Tsitsipas said: “I don’t see it as a surprise. I hope he enjoys his holidays.”

Kyrgios was set to headline the United Cup’s Thursday evening session in Sydney with a bumper match-up against Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie, but pulled out 24 hours before the match.

The Wimbledon finalist is believed to have injured his ankle in an exhibition tournament in Dubai last week and has withdrawn from the mixed-team event to ensure he is fully fit for the Australian Open.

As for Kyrgios and Tsitsipas, the pair have had a fractious relationship which came to a head at Wimbledon this year when the latter said his Australian opponent had an “evil side” after a bad-tempered third-round match.
