Pablo Carreño’s victory in the Canadian Masters 1,000 meant, in addition to the first Masters 1,000 in the record of the Asturian tennis player, that a tweet published by Nick Kyrgios appeared again in September 2020 as a result of Carreño’s performance in hard court tournaments.
The Twitter account @WeAreTennis did not hesitate to recover that criticism from the Australian and made this comparison as a result of Carreño’s latest success. “Nick Kyrgios on Pablo Carreño in September 2020: ‘If clay didn’t exist, this guy wouldn’t be anywhere near the Top-50’. Pablo Carreño on hard court now: a Masters 1,000 title, two Grand Slam semifinals. Nick Kyrgios on hard court now: zero Masters 1,000 titles, zero Grand Slam semi-finals. Karma”.
A message that reached the ears of Kyrgios himself, who did not hesitate to answer ironically, boasting of his victories against Carreño on the ATP circuit. “Nothing, I’m fine, our face to face is a laugh”, alluding to the fact that Kyrgios has won the three times he has faced the Spanish. For now, Kyrgios, who lost in the second round at Cincinnati to Taylor Fritz on Wednesday, will have to wait to match Carreño’s achievements on the hard court.
