Former tennis star Andrea Petkovic has talked about Jannik Sinner’s victory at the US Open, through a post on her personal blog opened on Substack.
The German also wanted to express her harsh opinion on the shameful comments of Nick Kyrgios, referring in particular to the famous second serve written under the old photo of him and Anna Kalinskaya, Jannik’s current girlfriend.
“His digs on social media make me sad and angry, but mostly sad. He could be really great on TV but he continues to self-sabotage with misogynistic nonsense. I may not be a fan of his style on TV, but his content is fantastic. Nick says positive things about women’s tennis on air but if he puts it down online, at some point people will stop believing him,” she explained.

You just know what @NickKyrgios means with this comment today on a picture of his ex-girlfriend, WTA player Anna Kalinskaya, now Jannik Sinner’s partner.
Why is he employed as commentator?
Of any tennis, but women’s tennis in particular?
He’s a blight on the sport. #USOpen https://t.co/8fjXnfkx7b
