The Australian tennis player's admission has generated widespread reaction in the tennis world. Kyrgios being a name that has consistently remained in the headlines throughout his career has also led to this development sparking a wide-scale discussion.

No definitive information has yet been shared regarding when the test was carried out and how the process will proceed.
