“Don’t be mad I got better hands than you. Working on the volleys”

A bit of self-praise from the Australian. Former World No.8 Jack Sock dropped in a comment on Kyrgios’s video. And he firmly disagrees with Kyrgios’ volley claims.

“I beg to differ,” commented Sock.

“Ok… the majority “ Kyrgios continues the banter.

Kyrgios and Sock were together as teammates for Team World in the Laver Cup. And played doubles together. They are good friends and in court, they have had some great moments together.

“Coach’s volleys,“ wrote Sock.

“You told me just not to miss, it works against Team Europe my bro “ Kyrgios replied.

 

Kyrgios was referring to the Laver Cup games they played together. But Sock wasn’t having any of this. He disagrees with the Australian’s claims in a funny manner.
