NICK KYRGIOS has warned he is not going “to shut up” about Jannik Sinner’s failed drug tests in the build-up to the Australian Open.

And uncertainty over the future of the world No.1 threatens to hang over the first Grand Slam event of the season.

Aussie bad boy Kyrgios had fiery feuds full of insults with Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal earlier in his career.

The fearless former Wimbledon finalist claimed the Serbian had a “sick obsession” over being liked and called the Spaniard “super salty”.

Now Kyrgios, who has been out injured for nearly two years, has turned his fire on Italian Sinner, who enjoys superstar status in his homeland.

Sinner won the Australian and US Opens in his incredible 2024 – and became the first Italian to ever top the rankings.

Former world No.1 Andy Roddick compared Sinner’s fame to David Beckham and Taylor Swift, while Italy Davis Cup captain, Filippo Volandri, called him “the Special One”.
