Stefanos Tsitsipas expressed surprise at the fact that Nick Kyrgios took so long to be detected with positive cocaine results. The Greek tennis player publicly commented on his Australian colleague's situation, who now faces an 18-month suspension after failing two anti-doping tests.
The two players once competed together in doubles, having been partners in doubles. However, the relationship between Tsitsipas and Kyrgios soured over time, moving from collaboration to a more conflictual dynamic between the two.
Tsitsipas stated that he was not surprised by the news about substance use on the professional tennis circuit. The Greek declared that he was aware of what was happening behind the scenes of the sport, suggesting that the problem may be more widespread than Kyrgios's isolated case.
