Martina Navratilova is not the one to hold her opinions back. The former World No.1 does not shy away from saying it loud what she feels. She also supports the opinions that are in line with her thoughts and the same was on display when she reshared a post from Boris Becker that was aimed at Nick Kyrgios for comparing tennis generations. 

As Kyrgios claimed that Novak Djokovic would eat Pete Sampras alive if they played against each other, Becker thrashed the Australian. The former German tennis ace questioned Kyrgios’ credibility over his empty Grand Slam title cabinet. Meanwhile, Kyrgios retracted through a series of attacks on Becker.

Amid all the drama, former tennis stars also voice their opinions. The likes of Rennae Stubbs and Yevgueni Kafelnikov took sides with Becker and criticized Kyrgios. Martina Navratilova, meanwhile, did not say much but did not sit idle either. She reshared Becker’s post on X.

Nick Kyrgios not a big fan of Martina Navratilova’s assessments anyway

While Martina Navratilova clearly did not like what Nick Kyrgios said while comparing two tennis generations, the Australian is also not a big fan of Navratilova’s assessment of his character.

Although Kyrgios did not say about the American ace recently, a couple of years back he had expressed displeasure after Navratilova had advised Kyrgios to discover himself. After Kyrgios’ loss to Dominic Thiem at the John Cain Arena in 2021, Navratilova had said that while she is unsure of how Kyrgios is, the Australian needs to know who he is. 

As a tennis player, you get thrust into the adult life very early on before you are really ready for it emotionally. The emotional growth comes in bits and pieces really and it is delayed really. I think give him a chance to catch up to that and as he said he feels grounded, put down some roots and figure out who you are, that can only be good.

To this, a frustrated Kyrgios had shouted (written in all caps) “You know nothing about me” on Twitter (now X). Although the pair did not exchange any comments after that, it was evident that they do not share a good rappot.

In case you missed!
