Nick Kyrgios just wants to speak his truth, man. He does, after all, have his own podcast to go along with his blue tick on X, where he is not afraid to add a hot take or two to the big topics. It’s hardly a new development. Among his fellow professionals on the tour, the divisive and disruptive Australian has always possessed one of the louder voices in the room.
Kyrgios may have been sidelined by injury for the past 18 months – and is now a fresh doubt for the upcoming Australian Open after pulling out of an exhibition match yesterday due to an abdominal strain – but his opinions, including his forthright view that the Pyramids were not built by humans, have not diminished, nor has his capacity to spout them. Instead, he has been magnified, holding a megaphone towards his newfound calling of righteousness. The self-proclaimed “troublemaker” of tennis has rebranded as its moral protector.
