Djokovic upset with Kyrgios

Nick Kyrgios has managed to ignite another controversy.

The young Australian was probably right to be upset for getting a warning in his opener in Paris, but Novak Djokovic wasn’t pleased that his name was mentioned during his quarrel with the umpire.



 

What happened?

Nick was playing a tricky opener at the Roland Garros; the moment was extremely tense during the first set tie-break and Nick raised his voice when asking for a towel. At that point, Kyrgios received a warning, and he accused the umpire of being unfair saying “How can you sit there and give me a code for that? But when Djokovic pushes an umpire out of the way that’s alright? Tell the whole world that’s alright.”

Djokovic. It wasn’t necessary to mention my name

Nole wasn’t pleased for that to comment “What can I say? It’s his choice that he wants to bring it out there. I don’t know what he has done. I don’t know the nature of his gestures on the court and why he got a code violation, whether or not it was only for the towel or maybe something before that happened. I’m not getting into it. It’s completely his choice. So, you know, by mentioning my name, I don’t think it was necessary, but again, I’ve got to respect his choice.”

Was Kyrgios right to mention Djokovic?
