Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios has admitted that he continues to confront racism. Transmits words Men’s Health.
“Yes, I have experienced racism in my life. Australia as a whole is a highly racist country, one of the most racist countries in the world. I think I’m still running into this. But I’ve developed armor, both in sport and in life, so I’m handling it better than before. Although it’s never easy.
Some of the most iconic people in Australian sport told me and my family to go back to where we came from and that’s bullshit,” said Kyrgios.
Kiryos ranks 33rd (1175 points) in the Professional Tennis Association (ATP) rankings. Spaniard Carlos Alcaras (7675 points) is in the lead. Novak Djokovic is second, Daniil Medvedev is third.
Last year, Kyrgios reached the Wimbledon final, where he lost to Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic.
The Australian will miss the tournament this year due to a wrist injury.
Wimbledon starts on July 3 this year and runs until July 16.
