Nick Kyrgios and Casper Ruud to reignite heated spat
Nick Kyrgios taunted his opponent on camera as he eased into the third round of Indian Wells with a 6-2 6-2 win over Federico Delbonis in the round of 64 of the Indian Wells Masters.
With Kyrgios and Casper Ruud set to meet at the next round of the Indian Wells again, the duo’s past skirmishes are set to be reignited. Kyrgios was disqualified after throwing a chair onto the court at the 2019 Italian Open during the third and deciding set of a second-round match against the Norwegian.
Post that, he and Ruud subsequently had a heated exchange on social media. Ruud then went on to suggest that Kyrgios deserved to be banned for six months and called the Australian “an idiot” in an interview.
Kyrgios then responded to this on Twitter, asking Ruud to say it to his face if he has the audacity. Shots were then fired when he also said that he’d rather watch paint dry rather than watch Ruud play, calling his play boring.
“I would appreciate you saying it to my face, I’m sure you wouldn’t run your mouth so much after that. Until then I will continue to rather watch paint dry than watch you play tennis, boring af. But again, I also understand why you have to keep my name in your mouth, because people dont even realise that you play tennis – good luck in Milan champ x,” said Kyrgios.
Kyrgios later accused Ruud of “stealing points” by winning “easy” tournaments on clay after he won back-to-back ATP 250 tournaments in Geneva, Bastad, Gstaad, and Kitzbuhel.
