“I mean, look Kyrie is huge but Novak’s on a whole different level to Kyrie. Like, I think tennis globally, is way bigger,” said Kyrgios in the talk show.

During the conversation, Kyrgios vouched that Novak would have more Instagram followers than Kyrie. He even claimed to be sure that Kyrie wouldn’t have more than ten million followers. Unfortunately, the Australian was proven wrong as apparently Kyrie had 15.5 million followers and Novak had 9.4 million.

He then continued, “Guys, I know for a fact that Novak’s bigger. Like I know for a fact like bro, this guy is like the king of Serbia. Like, think how big that place and Europe is in general.”

“Kyrie, he is not even playing in the league right now. We are talking about the greatest tennis player nearly of all time. Kyrie is not even in the top-7, top-10 frame,” added the Australian player.
