Djokovic will never be the best, he never beat me, Kyrgios provocateur let himself be heard
Nick Kyrgios, as a well-known provocateur, gave the tennis world number one a break for a few months. But before the upcoming Australian Open Grand Slam, he has already spoken again about Novak Djokovic. What did he say?
Nick Kyrgios, as a well-known provocateur, gave the tennis world number one a break for a few months. But before the upcoming Australian Open Grand Slam, he has already spoken again about Novak Djokovic. What did he say?
The Australian Open is approaching and Nick Kyrgios seems to be coming to life. Because how else to explain that he opened his mouth on the world number one again after a few months break from criticising Novak Djokovic?
In the first place, Australian Samuel Groth started criticising Djokovic after the Serbian star should have demanded better food, shorter quarantines or the transfer of negatively tested players to private hotels with courts when 72 male or female tennis players remain isolated and unable to train.
He was branded selfish, with Nick Kyrgios subsequently joining in the criticism on Twitter.
However, he was not finished there. In fact, in the last interview he gave to the media, he said that Djokovic can never be the best tennis player of all time. He has a good reason for that.
“No matter how many tournaments and grand slams Novak wins, he will never be the best tennis player of all time for me. I played against him twice and won twice. If he can’t beat me, he can’t be the best,” Kyrgios let slip.
Both matches took place in 2017. In Acapulco, Kyrgios beat Djokovic 7::6 and 7::5 in the quarterfinals, and two sets were also enough for him at Indian Wells, when he won 6::4 and 7::6.
