And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters.\u201d<\/p>\n Commenting on the post, Kyrgios<\/a> wrote: \u201cGuy\u2019s made over 30 mill usd. Haters will continue to hate whilst sitting with their hands in their pants.\u201d<\/p>\n How did Stefanos Tsitsipas describe Nick Kyrgios in 2021?<\/p>\n Kyrgios certainly isn\u2019t afraid to speak his mind, and his latest verdict should undoubtedly be warmly welcomed.<\/p>\n Tsitsipas isn\u2019t enjoying the best spell of his career, and it remains to be seen if he can ever return to his top form, but he already boasts a phenomenal CV.<\/p>\n YearTitlesTournaments20251Dubai (Outdoor\/Hard)20241ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo (Outdoor\/Clay)20231Los Cabos (Outdoor\/Hard)20222Mallorca (Outdoor\/Grass) The 27-year-old Greek has won 12 ATP Tour titles, which include success at the 2019 ATP Finals in London.<\/p>\n Tsitsipas has also reached two Grand Slam finals, although lost both to Novak Djokovic at the 2021 French Open and 2023 Australian Open.<\/p>\n Kyrgios certainly knows that feeling, having lost the 2022 Wimbledon final to the legendary Serbian figure.<\/p>\n Discussing the Australian back in 2021, Tsitsipas said on the No Challenges Remaining podcast: \u201cNick, I\u2019ll call him the black sheep of the ATP.<\/p>\n \u201cHe likes to do unpredictable stuff. He likes attention, let\u2019s not refute that. And that\u2019s totally normal. There is nothing bad with it.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has his own personality which stands out. Some people love it, I have a lot of people that hate it and don\u2019t understand it, and some people that are so much into it.<\/p>\n \u201cI see it as something totally fine. I think our sport needs that, it\u2019s entertainment, it\u2019s fun, something unique, special that not many players have, as long as he\u2019s not disrespectful.<\/p>\n \u201cHe might have been a few times, and that\u2019s not cool, but when he\u2019s not and he\u2019s in total respect of the game and does the right thing, I think it\u2019s really fun to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n New NCR!<\/p>\n Stefanos Tsitsipas (@StefTsitsipas<\/a>) joins to discuss topics including quarantine, growing up on the internet, Nick Kyrgios, Daniil Medvedev, and the muse inspiring his SoundCloud love songs. <\/p>\n Listen:https:\/\/t.co\/E7MVqOiqjI<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 No Challenges Remaining (@NCR_Tennis) January 27, 2021<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n The duo certainly know each other well, while their journeys have even included a doubles pairing at Washington in 2019.<\/p>\n Both players are now at intriguing points in their careers on the ATP Tour, with Kyrgios continuing to struggle with fitness and Tsitsipas struggling for form.<\/p>\n ![\"Daniel](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2231860869-1024x682.jpg\")
