Iga Świątek (2nd WTA) is no longer suspended by the ITIA for a positive anti-doping test result in August – then trace amounts of trimetazidine from the contaminated drug were detected in her body. Although Shelf proved that she took the banned substance unknowingly, some people still don't leave her alone.
Nick Kyrgios does not forgive Iga Świątek and Jannik Sinner. The fans spoke out
The 23-year-old, like Jannik Sinner (1st ATP), who was also involved in the doping scandal, has to endure Nick Kyrgios' taunts. “I feel good with another few days of training behind me. Wrist reconstruction and return here. And all this without failing anti-doping tests. Be proud Kyrgs by doing it the right way,” the Australian wrote on X on Thursdaywhich was a reference to Świątek and Sinner. Finally, the fans reacted.
There were many sarcastic comments towards Kyrgios: “I'm grateful that Novak Djokovic beat you in final Wimbledon, thanks Nole”, “I see you're obsessed with doping tests”, “what a sad person”, “I think that's enough now, isn't it?”
“You may wonder why no other player devotes as much time to this type of trolling as Nick does. I fear we will see the same lack of emotional control when he returns. I hope I'm wrong,” it added.
The 29-year-old is scheduled to return to competition on the ATP tour in early 2025, when he will play in a tournament in Brisbane. And later this year he will play in the World Tennis League exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi. There he was supposed to be in a team with Świątek and Hubert Hurkacz (16th ATP), but ultimately the Australian and Barbora Krejcikova (10th ATP). WTA) were transferred to another team, and the Poles will be played by Paula Bados (12th WTA) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (11.ATP). Probably due to recent frictions.
Not just Nick Kyrgios. Simona Halep also hit Iga Świątek
Nick Kyrgios is not the only famous figure from the world tennis criticizing how the Iga Świątek case turned out. – This tennis player – I don't want to give her name, you know who I'm talking about – was suspended for three weeks, then she played in two tournaments, and then she was suspended again. What is this? I can't understand this. I think it's unfair – said Simona Halep (879th WTA)former leader of the world ranking.
