Nick Kyrgios has always sustained that he doesn’t really like Novak Djokovic and his celebration. The Serbian sensation is used to celebrate his wins by giving “love” to the fans and Nick considers the gesture to be cringe.
During an interview, once he said that he wants to beat Djokovic to then welcome the fans imitating Novak. However, that hasn’t really happened and therefore, Kyrgios had to do his imitation only before playing the doubles with his friend Thanasi Kokkinakis at the Australian Open. The scene was quite hilarious also because the match was played without fans.
That’s Nick’s stuff!
