Stefanos Tsitsipas says Nick Kyrgios’ cocaine suspension was ‘pretty much expected’

Stefanos Tsitsipas expressed surprise over Nick Kyrgios' tennis suspension due to cocaine use. The Australian was banned after testing positive for cocaine during a June event in Spain. Tsitsipas anticipated the announcement, stating he "knew about this before the announcement" and "was like 'Here we go.'" Tsitsipas and Kyrgios had a heated match at Wimbledon 2022, with Kyrgios reaching his only Grand Slam final.

Since his suspension, Kyrgios has cited injuries and expressed feeling "helpless and alone," though he acknowledged the truth of the allegations.
