Nick Kyrgios is back to shading Iga Swiatek over the Pole's failed doping test but this time it came in a subtle form.

On Sunday, the Polish tennis star lost the opening set of her United Cup final match against Coco Gauff.
Then, she picked up her Roland Garros notebook - where she keeps all the infos - and left the court.
"One of the scariest sights in tennis: Iga Swiatek leaving the court after losing a set with her Roland-Garros notebook in hand," Bastien Fachan wrote on X.
Kyrgios noticed it and reacted: "And with all the other help."
Kyrgios has had an issue with Swiatek since late November
In the past, the Australian never made any derogatory comments about the four-time French Open champion.
But since it was announced that she tested positive for a banned substance and that she received a one-month, the 2022 Wimbledon finalist became one of the harshest critics of the 23-year-old.

By that, Swiatek joined Jannik Sinner in receiving some heavy criticism and scrutiny from the seven-time ATP champion.
Last week, Kyrgios officially kicked off his post-surgery comeback at the Brisbane International.
Speaking to press prior to his opening match, he ripped the two high-profile cases in tennis as "disgusting" and "horrible."
"Two world No.1s both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It's a horrible look. Tennis integrity right now, and everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it, it's awful," the Australian said.
So far, Sinner hasn't made any responses to Kyrgios, simply saying that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
When it comes to Swiatek, she noted that comparing cases doesn't make sense and that the evidence is there that proves that she didn't intentionally or knowingly take a banned substance.
