Kyrgios ignites GOAT debate: Beware the picks… and the absentees

Nick Kyrgios is, without a doubt, one of the great absences in this edition of Wimbledon. The injury he’s been carrying for months has prevented him from taking part in one of his favorite tournaments, where last year he managed to reach the final, but that doesn’t mean the Australian isn’t out of his own way in London Grand Slam.

And it is that the controversial tennis player has been the most active in social networks for a few days. If on Monday he had to eat his forecast in the rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz and Matteo Berrettini, whom he placed as a clear favorite and the only tennis player capable of standing up to Djokovic at Wimbledon, with decorum, in the final hours he returns to the fray, this time with the famous debate about who is the GOAT (greatest athlete of all time).

But not only the ‘big three’ was ignored by the Australian who, despite being a great basketball fan, He didn’t even see fit to include names like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant or LeBron James in his list of candidates.

Such was the wave of criticism he received, minutes after his first tweet he had to write another justifying his decision.
