US Open winner Jannik Sinner hits back after Nick Kyrgios savage criticism
US Open winner Jannik Sinner has had his say after being asked about the criticism levelled at him over the last few weeks.
The Italian made history when he beat Taylor Fritz on Sunday night to claim his second Grand Slam title of the year, having also won the Australian Open.
But among the dissenting voices was Nick Kyrgios, who insisted that it was ‘ridiculous’ the 23-year-old was allowed to compete after failing two drugs tests before the tournament.
An independent tribunal cleared Sinner of wrongdoing after he insisted an anabolic steroid had entered his system through a massage from his physiotherapist.
Kyrgios also took to social media to make his feelings heard when he replied to Piers Morgan’s comment on him failing two drugs tests, writing: “First time in history! We are witnessing greatness!”
This was accompanied with a yawning and man shrugging emoji.
