It's been a long, long time since Nick Kyrgios stepped onto the court: injuries, physical and mental health problems have pushed the talented Australian to take off his tennis player's clothes and switch to that of a television commentator for Eurosport (a role that he is comfortable with anyway).

Nick is one of the most talented tennis players but, at the same time, he has had a career with few ups and many downs: he often failed to express his talent, also conditioned by physical problems that have now kept him out of the tennis Tour for over a year.
Despite this, Nick remains quite active: he has been a commentator for Eurosport in the Grand Slam tournaments and he is very active on social media, sometimes for rather controversial issues.
YesterdayKyrgios had communicated on his social accounts - specifically in an Instagram Stories - that he is ready to return to the court. The athlete is confident that he is available and can play his home tournament, the Australian Open 2025. Kyrgios has been out for a while and would like to arrive at the tournament in the best conditions, with the aim of playing a few tournaments beforehand, perhaps some ATP 250 to get in shape for the Australian Slam.

But, as has often happened during his career, Kyrgios then decided to surprise everyone: First these words about the comeback and then, a few minutes later, he announced his retirement, or rather, he communicated on his social media that we are now in the final stages of his career. A black and white photo and a particular message, with which Kyrgios touched everyone and received several messages on social media.
Physical problems have affected Kyrgios' career quite a bit, but he doesn't want to give up and is ready to return to the court. For what could be his last year on the ATP Tour? It is possible that the two messages shared on Instagram are connected. The impression is that the Australian wants to try to return to the court, at least for the Australian swing that will open the season and that will culminate at the Happy Slam, in front of a friendly crowd. A Last Dance that would have a romantic flavor, but that would take away from tennis fans one of the great stars of recent years. Maybe the volatile Kyrgio will change his mind again and decide to prolong his career at least for the rest of 2025: maybe some important success - if it were to arrive - could make him change his mind further and continue playing, who knows.
The controversy with Jannik Sinner
In recent weeks the tennis player has been very active on social media and has received several criticisms for the attitude proposed towards Jannik Sinner, attacked for the Clostebol doping issue.

According to the Aussy tennis player, the Italian was not treated like all the others and there was a disparity. There has been a lot of controversy regarding this story and also for this reason the tennis player has been overwhelmed by the criticism of the fans, in particular from the fans of the Italian.
WADA has officially announced that it has decided to appeal Jannik's acquittal by the independent court commissioned by ITIA on the doping ruling. A news that has sparked several reactions on social media, those who defended him and those who were satisfied with this decision and, among these, the Australian tennis player Kyrgios could not be missing. Through his social media he harshly attacked Sinner and released rather provocative posts.
"Hahahaha, maybe he is not so innocent after all," wrote Nick.

In short, the Australian tennis player now seems to feel like the protagonist of a story that should not concern him but that instead sees him regularly sentenced on social media. Only a few days ago Nick Kyrgios joked on social media with other haters and claimed that Sinner was a victim of this whole situation, obviously putting the emoji of a clown next to it, thus making fun of the whole story.
