Nick Kyrgios Takes Another Dig at Jannik Sinner Over Doping Case
Nick Kyrgios has continued his sharp criticism of Jannik Sinner, this time mocking the Italian’s YouTube debut by calling for “behind-the-scenes” footage of his doping case.
On January 31, 2025, Sinner launched his YouTube channel with an over-eight-minute vlog detailing his title defense at the Australian Open. News of his debut was shared on X (formerly Twitter), where Kyrgios, who has been vocal about Sinner’s doping controversy, responded:
“Can he give us a behind-the-scenes of what happened a year ago? 🙏🏽 Asking for a friend.”
Kyrgios Doubles Down on Criticism
In a separate X post, an account that has repeatedly scrutinized Sinner’s doping case highlighted inconsistencies in the timeline. They pointed out that while Sinner’s team initially claimed to have quickly identified the source of contamination, it took over five months for his positive test to be publicly disclosed.
Kyrgios chimed in again, ridiculing Sinner’s YouTube launch while taking another swipe at the scandal:
“He has brought out a YouTube channel – hopefully, he has the behind-the-scenes of what happened a year ago 😂 Media team is working overtime, mate – disgusting.”
Kyrgios Fires Back at Troll with Sinner Jab
Kyrgios, who returned to the ATP Tour in 2025 after a long injury hiatus, has yet to win a singles match this season, having suffered first-round exits at the Brisbane International and Australian Open.
A troll on X mocked his winless record by posting an image of a draw glitch from the ATP event in Montpellier. The error displayed “BYE” advancing instead of third seed Flavio Cobolli, leading the user to joke:
“BYE has won more matches than Nick Kyrgios in 2025.”
Kyrgios hit back by referencing Sinner’s doping controversy:
“Bye has failed fewer drug tests than Sinner.”
The Ongoing Sinner Doping Case
Sinner’s failed drug test from March 2024 became public in August. While the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) ruled no fault on his part, Kyrgios has been outspoken in his criticism of the case’s handling. Meanwhile, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed the ITIA’s verdict, with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) set to hear the case in April 2025.
