In an attempt to justify Coco Gauff's earnings, Nick Kyrgios compares Djokovic & Marketa Vondrousova incorrectly at Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios continues to stir up controversy. 

The Australian recently questioned why Marketa Vondrousova made more money than Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon as he attempted to justify Coco Gauff earning less than the men's winner at the Citi Open.

Having battled a series of injuries over the last few months, Kyrgios has played just one match this season, which he lost. The Aussie also withdrew from the 2023 Wimbledon Championships and is yet to decide the date of his return to the tour. Nick Kyrgios first suffered an injury during last year's Japan Open. 

Earlier this year, the 28-year-old was set to compete at the United Cup but he withdrew his name at the eleventh hour. On Monday, tennis content writer Myles David highlighted that women's winner Coco Gauff earned way less than the men's winner Dan Evans at the 2023 Citi Open.

David's post on Twitter read: "Dan Evans’s will receive $353,445 for winning the ATP500 event in Washington, D.C. "Coco Gauff will receive $120,150 for winning the WTA500 event in Washington, D.C. "They played at the same venue all week "They played best of 3 sets all week "They will not get paid the same" Kyrgios replied to the tweet and questioned why such discussions didn't take place during the Grand Slams, especially when Vondrousova, the Wimbledon women's winner, earned more than Djokovic, the men's finalist. 

"What about slams? Do we do this breakdown then? Vondrousova made more than Novak that week," the Australian wrote on Twitter. Vondrousova won £2,749,036 ($2,974,458) in prize money after being crowned the winner of Wimbledon for the first time in her career. 

On the other hand, Djokovic won £1,175,000 after losing the final to Carlos Alcaraz. There was a clear difference between the results of the two players: while Vondrousova ended as the champion, Djokovic finished as the runner-up.
