Greek World No.4 Stefanos Tsitsipas and Aussie star Nick Kyrgios are not precisely the best of friends but share a good repo on and off the court with one another. However, they recently took a dig at each other after the young Greek made some tennis rules suggestions.

Earlier, the 22-year-old Tsitsipas proposed that coaching on-court should be made legal. Accordingly to him, it is a path on which tennis can move forward.

“Coaching on every point should be allowed in tennis. The sport needs to embrace it. We’re probably one of the only global sports that doesn’t use coaching during the play. Make it legal. It’s about time the sport takes a big step forward,” Tsitsipas had tweeted.

Afterward, the Tennis TV official Instagram account asked its followers about their opinion about Tsitsipas’s suggestion. Among the many responders, Kyrgios was one of them and was not very much impressed.

“I usually don’t mind his ideas, but this one is terrible,” Kyrgios commented. For this, a prompt response came from the Greek professional, hitting the fact that the Australian does not have a coach.

“I’ll get you a coach, don’t worry about that,” the reigning Roland-Garros finalist replied.

In defense, Tsitsipas went into deep conversations on Twitter, stating that players get help all the time despite the rule. It might be interesting to note what others have to say about this.

Where will Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kygios play?

Firstly, Tsitsipas will play at the Tokyo Olympics 2020, starting in less than a week. It would be the first time he will play for his country at the Games. Remarkably, he will also participate in mixed doubles with Maria Sakkari in Japan.

Indeed, the Greek professional has a desire to win the medal of the highest sporting merit. Only time will tell what he achieves.
