The bittersweet relationship between Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic has been tennis’ favorite conversation for years now. Moreover, the Australian maverick’s bantering is also quite hilarious. Interestingly, Kyrgios once again took a friendly hit at the Serbian World No.1 during an Instagram Q&A.
Notably, Kyrgios has been behind Djokovic for more than one reason. Be it for hosting the Adria Cup during the pandemic or doing the winning celebration, Kyrgios has actively teased his ATP Tour compatriot. Notably, since he also has a 2-0 h2h record against Djokovic, he has denied considering the Serb eligible for the ‘GOAT’ title in the past. (GOAT: acronym for Greatest of all time)
