Caroline Garcia praised Nick Kyrgios for his attitude following a “raw conversation” with the Aussie in a recent podcast session. Kyrgios, who defended Garcia for the hate messages she received after her early exit from the US Open, was recently accused by fans of being misogynistic at Anna Kalinskaya.

Garcia gained support on social media after revealing that she had suffered abuse for losing to Renata Zarazua in the first round of the US Open. She shared some screenshots of the numerous abusive messages from trolls. The French player had accused tennis betting of being responsible for it. Several tennis players defended her. Notable among them was Nick Kyrgios.

A few days ago, the Aussie shared a misogynistic reaction to a social media picture of him and his ex-girlfriend and WTA star Anna Kalinskaya. Kalinskaya, who is now dating Jannik Sinner, has on a few occasions been seen in the box during the US Open. Kyrgios has been a huge critic of Sinner, since his doping saga. The Aussie was calling for a two-year ban for the World No.1 after he didn’t get any ban despite testing positive for clostebol.
