Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios criticised the retired American tennis player Jimmy Arias over the latter’s horrible take on the women’s number one ranked Iga Swiatek.
Arias, 58, made a strange comment on Swiatek saying that she wears her hat too low and said she hasn’t been great for women's tennis.
“I don’t think she’s been great for women’s tennis because she wears her hat so low that you can’t even see her face or eyes during the match, so you don’t get a connection as much as you could. Arias said on Tennis Channel. “I want to see her personality.”
Kyrgios didn’t welcome the comments of the American and called him out in a Tweet saying: “Another horrible take.”
However, this was not the first time Kyrgios slammed Arias.
Earlier, when Kyrgios announced that he will not be playing tennis by the age of 33, the American criticized the Australian.
“I don’t know what he’s talking about when he says this schedule is out of control,” Arias said on Tennis Channel. “He’s played one match this year. He seems to take every other year off, so he should be able to play for another 25 years. It’s just interesting to listen to him talk; let’s see what happens when he’s 33.”
“But as we’re talking right now, I don’t know [if] he’s gonna play five more matches [this year]. He’s played once so far this year. I’m not sure [his] wrist, knee [or] his tattoo is hurting him too much [from playing] Pokemon maybe”
The 27-year-old did not welcome the retired player’s comment on the choice of his retirement and said he did not even know who he was 10 minutes ago.
"@ariastennis you got some sort of issue? Although I had no idea who you were before my mate messaged me 10 mins ago, I’d appreciate if you kept my name out of your mouth to keep you relevant… well at least to give you some form of credibility," Kyrgios wrote.
