Nick Kyrgios has approved of Emma Raducanu’s decision not to use an anti-septic spray to treat bites on her leg after the tennis star revealed she feared putting herself at risk of accidentally doping.
Raducanu, speaking on Friday, stated that she had suffered bites from what she thinks were ants or mosquitos.
It caused the 22-year-old discomfort and she was recommended some anti-septic cream.
However, with Jannik Sinner still potentially facing a ban for doping for using cream, despite protesting his innocence, Raducanu opted against risking it.

“All of us are probably quite sensitive to what we take on board, what we use,” she said.
“Yesterday, for example, I got really badly bitten by I don’t know what, ants or mosquitos or something and I’m allergic I guess.
“So they flared up and swelled up a lot. Someone was giving me this anti-septic spray, you know natural to try and ease the bites but I was just…I didn’t want to take it you know?
