Everyone who messes with Nick Kyrgios has his answer. This time it came to Greg Rusedski. The former British player, now a television commentator, stated that Nick did not deserve an invitation to the next Australian Open despite his status as a local player.
“I wouldn’t give it to him. He would have to have a great result in Brisbane to deserve it. You have to look at the other young Australians who are progressing“Rusedski summarized after watching the ‘Battle of the Sexes’ between Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka on December 28. The first one won by a double 6-3.
I wouldn’t listen to the advice of someone who took performance-enhancing drugs.
The wayward tennis player from Canberra was quick to respond to Rusedski upon returning to his country: “I’m pretty sure Greg got busted for using performance-enhancing drugs once in his career, so I wouldn’t take advice from him. Let me know when the stadium sold out the last time they played.“.
Positive for nandrolone
Kyrgios refers to Rusedski’s positive test for nandrolone in 2004. The Australian, number 671 in the ATP, needs a wild card to enter the main draw of the first major.
Craig Tileydirector of the Open, recently confessed that “we will have to wait, but I know that his intention is to play the summer tour tournaments. I think his protected ranking has expired so he needs invitations.”
The injury to his elbow has not allowed Nick to play an official match since the Miami Masters 1000. It was there where he added the only victory of 2025 against the American Mackenzie McDonald.
