Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios used to have a fantastic relationship until they had a huge fight during the last Wimbledon. After losing to Nick, the Greek player accused Kyrgios of bullying, while the world number 22 replied that he was weak.
Kyrgios and Tsitsipas were paired together at the Diriyah Tennis Cup exhibition on Thursday after each of their opening singles matches ended in defeat. They were opposed to Hurkacz and Stricker, and they lost 7-6(3) 7-6(3). It was pretty clear during the match that Stefanos and Nick were not as friendly as in the past.
With the help of a hilarious post that showed their past and present relationship, Nick attempted to make fun of the situation. Stefanos replied: “‘You’re crazy bro!'”
