Nick Kyrgios has taken to social media to criticise the timing of some claycourt tournaments during the ATP Tour season.
The Australian No.1 says having events played on the red dirt during the hard court season is damaging to the future of tennis.Kyrgios also took issue with Gianluca Mager's jump in the world rankings from 128th to 77th after the Italian reached the final of the Rio Open on Sunday. "If you think having all these claycourt tournaments whilst we are in the midst of the hard court season is good for the sport and the future of tennis continue to argue," he responded to a post by a Twitter user.Mager - who had to qualify to get into the main draw of the ATP 500 event in Rio and beat top seed Dominic Thiem in the quarter-finals - is now ranked above the likes of Australian young gun Alexei Popyrin, as well as Frances Tiafoe and Vasek Pospisil.
The 24-year-old also retweeted a post that described the Rio Open and the Chile Open as 'a f---ing joke', adding his own caption which read 'Factsssss'.
