Nick Kyrgios recently posted about Thanasi Kokkinakis on his official social media account and even called him his ‘brother’. Even though he has made amends with him now, there was a time in the last year when the two were not on good terms so much so that Thanasi Kokkinakis even shared in his interviews that he had to go through sleeplessness nights because of the Aussie bad boy.

And all this started when Kyrgios made a comment about Stan Wawrinka’s girlfriend and how she had dated Thanasi Kokkinakis before him. As decent as we made it sound, Kyrgios used not-so-appropriate language to convey the same.

He shared in an interview, “I haven’t gotten much sleep on the nights.  let him know. I made it pretty clear that he can’t be doing that. If he’s got a problem, he’s got to say it in private. The way he went about it definitely wasn’t the right thing. Obviously, he shouldn’t have said what he said under the circumstances.”
