Wimbledon fans convinced Nick Kyrgios aimed brutal Jannik Sinner dig with cryptic response

Nick Krygios has never been afraid to share his opinions on tennis and that has never proven truer than his verdict on Jannik Sinner's drugs ban earlier this year.

The Aussie tennis star was among the most vocal critics when the Wimbledon champion was initially cleared of any wrongdoing by the International Tennis Integrity Agency after failing two drug tests last year. Sinner eventually accepted a three-month ban after the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed to CAS over the decision

And even after Sinner's success in Wimbledon's final, Kyrgios was not about to let the moment pass without comment. Less than an hour after the Italian defeated Carlos Alcaraz, the Australian ace took to social media with a cryptic comment, that perhaps didn't need too much imagination to understand the message he wanted to convey.

Kyrgios simply posted as asterisk, seeming to suggest that Sinner's title should come with one. Or at least hoping to needle any fans of the Italian star.

And Kyrgios found some support on is post. "A huge asterisk on this years Wimbledon," one fan agreed.

"Finally someone mentioning it, we are all thinking it," a said another. "100% the take on this Wimbledon. Well said," said a further user.

The former Wimbledon finalist went on to repost another message posted to X which read: "Congratulations to Clostebol & Trimetazidine!"

Kyrgios made it clear that he believes this year's championships have been tainted by recent bans for both Sinner and Iga Swiatek, who both earned their first Wimbledon title.

Sinner tested positive for low levels of a metabolite of clostebol, which is a banned steroid that can be used to build muscle mass. Women's singles champion Swiatek served a one-month suspension last year after testing positive trimetazidine, a medication that can increase blood flow and improve endurance.

Kyrgios has been extremely vocal on the subject and admitted his concern ahead of the Wimbledon finals. "At the end of the day, the decision has been made, and it’s kind of in the past," he told the i.

"Do I think it’s a good look for the sport that Swiatek and Sinner are in the final at Wimbledon after serving a ban? I don’t think it’s a good look for the sport.

"Do I think it’s a good look for the sport that Swiatek and Sinner are in the final at Wimbledon after serving a ban? I don’t think it’s a good look for the sport.

"And I think people could agree. But I’m not going to sit there and talk about that [on commentary] in the final. They’ve been playing some incredible tennis.

"Sinner, he served a ban, which do I agree with? No. But he came back and he’s been playing some excellent tennis. He didn’t look like he missed a beat, and he looked like he improved during that period of time, which is still incredible, regardless of why he was banned."
