Nick and Drake had a bad history over the years

During Wimbledon back in 2014, 19-year-old Nick Kyrgios suggested that listening to Drake made him lose the first set of his match against Jiri Veseley. In a match that he later won, he suggested that he would never prefer listening to Drake songs again before his match.

”Today was a bit of rap, actually,” Kyrgios said back then. ”I came out really flat, so hopefully I won’t listen to that again. It was actually Drake. Didn’t do the job for me.”
