Kyrgios doesn't hold back with Rusedski: "He was caught for doping, I wouldn't trust someone like him"

Carlos Navarro - 2 Jan 2026
Kyrgios did not stay still and delivered a good 'slap' to Rusedski.

Nick Kyrgios is facing the 2026 season still without much clarity regarding some of his stops. If he wants to be part of the 2026 Australian Open, he will need an invitation, a notion that does not excite figures like Greg Rusedski, who recently criticized the Australian's physical condition and advocated against granting him that invitation. As you can imagine, the response from Canberra's own was not long in coming upon his return home.

"I'm pretty sure that Greg was caught once in his career using performance-enhancing substances, so I wouldn't pay much attention to someone like that... remind me when was the last time he sold out one of his matches", was the blunt reply from Kyrgios as he now begins his preparation for the Oceanic tour.

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Kyrgios no se corta con Rusedski: "Lo pillaron por dopaje, no me fiaría de alguien como él"
