Nick Kyrgios seemingly took a shot at the depth of women’s tennis after seeing a post acknowledging Aryna Sabalenka’s impressive Grand Slam results in 2024.
By ousting Emma Navarro 6-2 6-3 in the French Open round-of-16, Sabalenka earned her 11 consecutive Grand Slam win in 2024. And not only that it was Sabalenka’s 11th Slam win in 2024, but also the 11th that came in straight sets.
Since Sabalenka also won her opening 11 Grand Slam matches last year, she became the first player since Serena Williams in 2009 and 2010 to win her opening 11 Slam matches of the season in back-to-back years.
“Aryna Sabalenka has not lost a single set in Grand Slams this year. 22 consecutive sets won. Scary,” The Tennis Letter’s X post read.
Reacting to the post, Kyrgios reacted with the word “depth,” which was very clearly his way of saying that there wasn’t much depth on the WTA Tour.
