SUMMARY
- Nick Kyrgios is one of the most controversial figures in tennis.
- He has courted controversy again, surrounding his comment on Andrew Tate this time.
Australian ace Nick Kyrgios is one of the most polarizing figures in the tennis world. He has often courted controversy with his bold takes, particularly on social media. Kyrgios has once again come under fire, and the reason has shocked his fans. Apparently, the Aussie is a supporter of the infamous social media personality, Andrew Tate.
Kyrgios has been away from the courts for over a year now, but he has never strayed too far from tennis. He is as audacious off the court as he is when he is playing, and he has ruffled more than a few feathers. Nick has never shied away from speaking his mind, even if it draws the ire of the tennis fraternity.
Kyrgios has once again fanned the flames of controversy with recent comments on the social media site X. He reposted one of Tate’s tweets, in agreement with Andrew’s statement on love.
I agree. Speaking facts as usual https://t.co/ofrZeEQTeX

Andrew Tate is a former kickboxer who garnered a large fanbase due to his misogynistic takes online. He was the kingpin of a crime syndicate that raped and trafficked girls. Andrew was finally arrested by Romanian police in 2023. Tate has even been banned from social media, but his online presence is as strong as ever.
Kyrgios has now drawn the wrath and disappointment of his fans. His recent post has made fans rethink the way they see him as a player and a person. While many are in disbelief that Nick would fawn over someone like Tate, one user pleaded, “Don’t do this to me I’ve been your fan.” Here are a few reactions to the post.

Nick Kyrgios has once again found himself at the center of a storm he created with his comments. However, this is not the first time that Kyrgios has spoken about Andrew Tate.
Nick Kyrgios’ comments on Andrew Tate
Tate is easily one of the most infamous people around at present, and any association with him is frowned upon. So where does Kyrgios stand on this?
In 2022, Kyrgios conducted a Q&A session on his Instagram account. He answered a number of questions, but the one about the Tate brothers stood out. One of his fans had asked Kyrgios how he really felt about the brothers, and Kyrgios replied that he “low key” loved them.
Nick Kyrgios is not new to generating controversy, but he does not let it affect him much. He hopes to make a comeback to the courts this year.
