Emma Raducanu dig made as Carlos Alcaraz faces Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon

Nick Kyrgios says he has gained more excitement from watching Emma Raducanu at Wimbledon than from covering the men's competition. This year's tournament will draw to a close after Sunday's final, which will see Carlos Alcaraz take on Jannik Sinner. It is a rematch of last month's French Open showdown, which is already regarded as one of the greatest matches in history.

Alcaraz prevailed on that occasion, battling back from two sets down to claim the spoils at Roland Garros. He is chasing a third successive Wimbledon title and will need to be at his very best to overcome the challenge posed by Sinner. The latter is desperate to avenge his defeat in Paris by denying Alcaraz another moment of glory.

There have been plenty of upsets at SW19 this year, with the likes of Alexander Zverev, Jack Draper and Daniil Medvedev bowing out in the early rounds. Kyrgios believes the high number of shock results have been detrimental to the overall entertainment value.

The outspoken Aussie feels that, in general, men's tennis is 'boring' and that women's matches provide far more excitement.

"At the moment, tennis is pretty boring, to be honest," he told i. "There's not many rivalries. I've watched and broken it down and and been commentating on it.

"The level is amazing, but there's more rivalries and more excitement on the women's side. Raducanu vs [Aryna] Sabalenka was an amazing match, [Amanda] Anisimova vs Sabalenka.

"There was more bitterness and more of a rivalry in these matches than I'm seeing on the men's side, which is why we watch sport. We watch sport for the excitement of two people, maybe not liking each other.

"I think we've got some great personalities as well. I think [Jack] Draper going down early, [Frances] Tiafoe going down, and some of these more personality guys that went down early didn't help.

"I think, especially with the growth of pickleball and padel, we are in need of something. I'm not sure what it is."

Kyrgios believes the men's game is suffering without Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, while Novak Djokovic is also no longer the unstoppable force he once was.

"I'm not saying Alcaraz and Sinner need to have been in a fight or anything like that," he added. "It's hard because the game is missing Federer and Nadal.

"Djokovic has... well, he said that it's not his last match, but I don't know how believable that is from how I saw him physically [against Sinner]. Alcaraz and Sinner are going to be carrying the torch for the next 10 to 15 years."
