'Alcaraz Love Girls, Might Party...': Kyrgios Claims Sinner Will Have Better Career
Nick Kyrgios had recently shared his thoughts on who out Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will have a better long-term career which hit the headlines.
Nick Kyrgios, the controversial Australian tennis star, has again stirred the pot with his big claim on Carlos Alcaraz while explaining why he feels that Italian Jannik Sinner will have a better career than the Spaniard. During a conversation with French tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou, Kyrgios cited Alcaraz's lifestyle as the major reason why he rates Sinner higher.
'Who do you think's gonna have a better career, Alcaraz or Sinner? I'll tell you mine first. I'll say Sinner, because Alcaraz loves girls," said Kyrgios on the latest episode of Ultimate Tennis Showdown. 'He (Alcaraz) might get distracted, he might party too much. That's my only thing, whereas Sinner will stay a bit locked in, I think."

The 22-year-old Alcaraz has already won five Grand Slam titles – two French Open, two Wimbledon and one US Open – having recently beaten Sinner in a five-set epic to win Wimbledon Championship.
On the other hand, Sinner, aged 23, has won three major titles including two titles at Australian Open and the last year's US Open.
'His game is suited to the grass with his big serve, and he came in to the net as much as he can. I'm really pleased with everything I fought for but it was stressful. I was suffering in many service games – love 30, break points down. He was pushing me whenever he could. It was tough to survive. I was happy to get that break at the end," he added.
Kyrgios's comments have come after Alcaraz's trip to Ibiza where he was vacationing with his friends following the French Open triumph.

Nathan Lyon guides Australia to 133-run win against West Indies in second Test
New Delhi: Australia registered its comeback to seal the series against West Indies with a 133-run victory in the second Test with one day to go which also meant they held on the trophy representing the win. On Day 4, Australia dismissed West Indies for 143 a after 34.3 overs, an eminent triumph, over scaling an unsurpassable and 2-0 lead in the three-Test competition. After being put in to bat in the second innings on Saturday, Australia were severely under pressure at 28-3, but fighting half-centuries by Steve Smith and Cameron Green have kept them anchored and have shifted the momentum in Australia s favour. Ducking out in 221-7 overnight with a lead of 254, Australia was eventually dismissed for 243, and this gave West Indies a tough target of 277 runs to win. Shamar Joseph was impressive with the ball when he finished with figures of 4/66. West Indies was in trouble in chase at 33-4. It was done at the afternoon sitting. Australian fast left-arm Mitchell Starc led their bowling attack with 3 for 24 in eight overs. Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood claimed 2 wickets, offspinner Nathan Lyon finished with 3-42 after 5.3 overs to mop-up the tail. A six-wicket match haul carried Lyon to second place on Australia all-time list of leading wicket-takers, one behind Glenn McGrath. Lyon has 562 wickets in 139 tests as of 2011. McGrath bowled 563 in 124 tests between 1993-2007. The Australian list is headed by Shane Warne, the great legspinner who passed away in 2022, with 708 wickets at 25.23 in 145 tests between 1992 2007. Captain Roston Chase attained the top score with 34 in the second innings when he was caught lbw to Starc as the ball kept low as he bowled against leg stump. Shamar Joseph stroke three sixes in a run-a-ball 24 before he skied a catch off Lyon to Beau Webster in the deep and was the second last wicket. Alex Carey (Australia) was also named the player of the match after having scored those innings-saving 63s in the first innings, 30s in the second, and four catches as wicket-keeper. 'To be able to do that and win a series for Australia is fantastic,' Carey said. The Caribbean tour was a vast improvement for his team on the previous bilateral series in Australia in 2023-24, when the West Indies troubled the home team and scored an upset win in the Gabba test. 'They came out two years ago, and they challenged us. For us to win this series outright, it has been a fantastic tour.' Australia captain Pat Cummins termed the series victory as coming at a right stage since his side lost a month ago to South Africa in the final of the World Test Championship. 'An away (series) win as well, they're not the easiest to come by, so really pumped with how we've bounced back after Lord's,' Cummins said. 'It's a dream start, two from two gets us into the (new WTC) cycle and we've played some really good cricket.'

Djokovic And Sinner Face Tough Wimbledon Tests: 'So Quick And...'
Last Updated: Djokovic and Sinner face tough Wimbledon matches, aiming for a semi-final clash. Djokovic plays de Minaur, Sinner meets Dimitrov. Swiatek faces Tauson in the women's draw. Novak Djokovic and world number one Jannik Sinner face their toughest challenges yet on Monday as they strive to edge closer to a highly anticipated semi-final showdown at Wimbledon. Djokovic, aiming for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam singles title, is set to play against Australia's Alex de Minaur, while Sinner goes up against the skilled Grigor Dimitrov. In the women's draw, five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek takes centre stage, facing Clara Tauson in a wide-open field. 'Complete' De Minaur worries Djokovic Djokovic impressed by defeating compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3, 6-0, 6-4, much to the delight of his seven-year-old daughter Tara, who joined him in a celebratory post-match dance. Despite his dominance, the seven-time champion remains cautious about the challenges ahead, including potential matches against Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who has bested Djokovic in their last two finals. De Minaur, who had to withdraw from their quarter-final meeting at Wimbledon last year due to injury, now has another shot at one of the sport's legends. The world number 11 and two-time grass court title winner has only dropped one set on his journey to the last 16. 'He's playing the tennis of his life. He's definitely knocking on the door of the final stages of Grand Slams," Djokovic remarked. 'You're not super excited to play Alex de Minaur on grass, that's for sure, because he's so quick and he's a complete player." Although Jannik Sinner may not have Djokovic's or Alcaraz's Wimbledon credentials, the Italian has been the most commanding player in the men's draw during the opening week. The US Open and Australian Open champion has equalled the men's Open Era record for the fewest games lost—17—in reaching the fourth round, a record set by Jan Kodes in 1972. Sinner has also yet to lose his serve this year at the All England Club, but his next opponent, Grigor Dimitrov, remains undeterred. 'We're in the second week of Wimbledon. Let's have fun," said the 34-year-old Dimitrov, aware that his time on Grand Slam show courts may be limited. The Bulgarian, who appeared destined for Wimbledon glory when he made the semi-finals in 2014, has not progressed beyond the fourth round since. 'Smooth' Swiatek finds form on grass A rare defeat at the French Open has allowed Swiatek to finally feel at ease on grass, as the former world number one eyes her second Wimbledon quarter-final on Monday. Aryna Sabalenka beat Swiatek in the semi-finals at Roland Garros, ending the Polish player's run of four titles in five years, but the slightly earlier exit provided more time to adjust to the grass. Swiatek reached her first grass-court final in Bad Homburg last week and expressed optimism about her performance. 'This year on grass I had some moments where I just felt comfortable and I didn't have to think much. It was just pretty smooth." With many of the top six seeds, except Sabalenka, bowing out early, Swiatek could make it to the final without facing another top-10 player. With AFP Inputs First Published:

Wimbledon 2025: Novak Djokovic sees his opportunity on grass
Novak Djokovic of Serbia reacts after beating Daniel Evans of Britain during their second round men's singles match at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Thursday, July 3, 2025. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant) London: The situation was diametrically different for Novak Djokovic last year. After limping out of the French Open with a torn meniscus on his right knee, he underwent surgery, which punctuated his immediate schedule with a question mark. Every other question, at least during the first week of Wimbledon , was related to injury, surgery and fitness. This year it has been all about his sparkling form. After flying to a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 win over compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic to claim his 100th match win at SW19, the possibility of the superstar Serbian winning a historic 25th Major title is looking brighter than it has in a long time. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Djokovic, who won his last Major title at the 2023 US Open, is second only to the world No.1 Jannik Sinner in service stats this past week. The 38-year-old, who has spent almost seven hours on court, has been broken once so far, in the third round, winning 98 percent of his service games. Given the carnage of seeds in the early days, Alexandre Muller, the world No 41, is the highest ranked player Djokovic has played so far in the tournament, and that happened in the first round. He played Daniel Evans (154), and then Kecmanovic (49) in subsequent matches. 'I feel great physically, mentally sharp,' he said. 'Game-wise I'm playing as well as I can on grass.' Djokovic goes up against the world No.11 Alex de Minaur in the fourth round on Sunday, in what'll be a rematch of last year's quarterfinal match-up which the Aussie was forced to pull out of before a ball was struck. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Near the end of his fourth-round victory over Arthur Fils last year, De Minaur sustained a hip cartilage tear. 'There's two versions of myself, ' said De Minaur, who trails the head-to-head 1-2. 'Last year I was very confident and ready to kind of take on the world. I got stopped in my tracks. I would say the version that I am right now is a lot wiser. I think I'm more prepared mentally going into this next match.' 'It's amazing for him to still be showing up, still showing that fire. He's a player that can find motivation from anything, and that's extremely dangerous,' De Minaur said. 'You don't want to give him something to get motivated about because then you'll definitely see his absolute best side.' As good as De Minaur may be feeling, Djokovic is tipped to go through to at least the semi-finals, where he could play Sinner. During the tribute to Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray joined the Spaniard on court. The Serb, the only one among the fab four, who is yet to retire, looked shaken. 'I was thinking about my end of the road,' he said later. For as long as the world No.6 continues in the sport, his best chance for a Major is Wimbledon, given his vast experience of dealing with the vagaries of playing on a slick natural surface, unlike the synthetic hard courts better suited for the younger generation.
