Tsitsipas Aware of Kyrgios's Cocaine Suspension Before Public Announcement
Stefanos Tsitsipas revealed he was aware of Nick Kyrgios's positive cocaine test before it was publicly announced, expressing surprise only at the timing of the suspension announcement. Kyrgios tested positive in June at an ATP event in Mallorca and was provisionally suspended in August. Tsitsipas also mentioned hearing about Kyrgios's off-court behavior from within the tennis community. Kyrgios acknowledged his mistake and faces a potential four-year ban, though a lighter penalty is expected.
