"Nobody wants a 28 years old loser as a coach" - Tennis fans react as Nick Kyrgios claims to have better knowledge than current coaches
Nick Kyrgios recently claimed to be "way more knowledgeable" than most current tennis coaches. His comments, however, have not gone down well with tennis fans.
Kyrgios is currently sidelined due to an injury; he was last seen in action in 2022. The former Wimbledon finalist missed this year's Australian Open as he underwent knee surgery. He also withdrew from the French Open due to a foot injury he suffered during a car theft.
Kyrgios recently wrote on social media that he had better knowledge than "most of the coaches now." The 28-year-old also said he knew the game "better than most."
"Look I know the game better than most way more knowledgeable and up to date than most of the coaches now, beaten everyone," Nick Kyrgios wrote on Twitter.
way more knowledgeable and up to date than most of the coaches now, beaten everyone Look I know the game better than most π way more knowledgeable and up to date than most of the coaches now, beaten everyone ππ€·π½ββοΈ
However, fans did not approve of Kyrgios' claims and reacted strongly to his post on Twitter. Some fans said the Australian wouldn't be suited for coaching as it takes dedication.
"Nick, you wouldnβt stick to coaching, mate. It takes dedication. Not your speed," one fan wrote.
@NickKyrgios Nick, you wouldnβt stick to coaching, mate. It takes dedication. Not your speed.
Fans also questioned his claims of being more knowledgeable, touching upon his defeat to Karen Khachanov at the 2022 US Open quarterfinals.
"With that much knowledge how you were outplayed by Khachanov last year?"

One fan found his statement funny as they questioned his consistency and commitment to the role.
@NickKyrgios That would be hilarious. Imagine having a coach who shows up once a week for 30 minutes lmao
Fans on Twitter continued to find humor in his claims as they refused to take his statement seriously.
@NickKyrgios And youβre a way better comedian that most as well π
One tennis fan called him a "loser," while adding that no one would want such a person to be their coach.
"Nobody wants a 28 years old loser as a coach," a Twitter user wrote.
