Nick Kyrgios controversy with Boris Becker explained
Nick Kyrgios recently caught himself in the news for his comments on how the sport was very slow in the past, compared to the current day. He mentioned Boris Becker by name, saying that past players were not as good as players are today.
"The game was so slow back then. I’ve watched Boris Becker and I’m not saying they weren’t good in their time, but to say that they would be just as good now, it’s absurd," Kyrgios said via The Athletic.
Becker responded to the Australian by questioning his credibility as he is yet to win any major Grand Slam title. The German added that players must respect the past of the sport, reminding Kyrgios that past players made it possible for him to make a living from tennis without playing all year.
"You must be grateful that they existed: without them, the tennis circus would not continue to exist, there have never been so many monetary prizes and there has never been as much publicity as there is today," said Becker.
Kyrgios responded by saying that he was one of the few players to have brought millions in money and fans to the sport.
"I’ve been one of the FEW PLAYERS that have brought million more fans to the sport and have made more money for everyone," Kyrgios wrote on his X handle.
