Nick Kyrgios says he has gained more excitement from watching Emma Raducanu at Wimbledon than the men’s competition.

Nick Kyrgios, currently sidelined from competitive play and working as a talkSPORT pundit, has stirred conversation by stating he’s found more excitement watching Emma Raducanu at Wimbledon 2025 than covering the men’s competition. Speaking on July 13, ahead of the men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, Kyrgios told *i* that the women’s matches, particularly Raducanu’s run, have outshone the men’s side. “At the moment, tennis is pretty boring, to be honest. There’s not many rivalries. I’ve watched and broken it down… The level is amazing, but there’s more rivalries and more excitement on the women’s side,” he said, highlighting Raducanu’s third-round clash with Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova’s semi-final as standout moments.

Kyrgios suggested the men’s game lacks the edge it once had with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and a peak Novak Djokovic, noting Djokovic’s recent physical struggles against Sinner. He contrasted this with Raducanu’s competitive spirit, despite her loss to Sabalenka (7-6(8-6), 6-4), which drew a peak TV audience of five million. Kyrgios’ comments reflect his admiration for Raducanu’s resilience since her 2021 US Open win, though he’s previously critiqued the pressure she faces. His remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with some fans on social platforms appreciating his focus on women’s tennis, while others question his narrative given the Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry’s intensity.
