Nick Kyrgios slams Tennis Australia for "not prioritising players" as he's unable to get a court
ATP
Nick Kyrgios experienced an unpleasant situation when he was trying to get a tennis court for one hour in Melbourne.
Currently, Kyrgios is the highest-ranked Australian player in both singles and doubles. He's the only Australian to play a singles Grand Slam final since Lleyton Hewitt in 2005.
He's also the man who made the whole country happy alongside his doubles partner Thanasi Kokkinakis when the duo lifted the 2022 Australian Open doubles trophy.
However, when they were trying to get a tennis court for one hour in the biggest tennis academy in Melbourne, the city of their doubles delight, the 2022 Australian Open champions were unable to do so.
Kyrgios is one of the players who often uses social media to express his thoughts, and he did that also this time. The 27-year-old Australian shared his experience on social media. Kyrgios wanted to prepare for the Japan Open in Tokyo, but it seemed that he wasn't able to get a court.
"Here for a day of training in Melbourne and unable to get a court!? NOTHING HAS CHANGED. When are you going to start prioritizing players? Just to be clear. We won the Australian Open, and we cannot get 1 indoor court for 1 hour."
"So with Thanasi Kokkinakis, we're in the biggest academy. I'm here for a day to get some good training in before 500 in Tokyo. See how the court situation goes."
Later, the 27-year-old Australian shared practice footage with his doubles partner, Thanasi Kokkinakis. That made it obvious that the duo eventually managed to get a court.
However, he added a caption, which explained that it took him over an hour to finally get a court.
"Took us over an hour to get a court, but level was always high and the competitive juices were flowing."
