From Racket to Microphone: Kyrgios and Eubanks at the U.S. Open

Nick Kyrgios and Chris Eubanks make headlines as commentators at the U.S. Open. Kyrgios continues to be outspoken, critiquing players and coaches alike, while Eubanks takes a more amicable approach. Their transition from playing to commentating adds a new dynamic to the tournament.

Nick Kyrgios and Chris Eubanks are not just making headlines for their performances on the court this year at Flushing Meadows, but for their roles as player-commentators at the U.S. Open.

Kyrgios, a quarter-finalist in 2002, is known for his outspoken nature both on ESPN and social media. Despite his limited play due to injury, Kyrgios has been vocal, even offering opinions on coach-player dynamics and doping controversies. Notably, he expressed a desire to coach Coco Gauff and criticized top seed Jannik Sinner's doping case outcome.

On the other hand, Eubanks, who exited the tournament early, has seamlessly transitioned into his commentary role. A viral moment with friend Coco Gauff highlighted his lighthearted approach, contrasting with his need to maintain good relations with fellow players. His run to the Wimbledon quarter-finals adds credibility to his new role.
