The funny banter between Nick Kyrgios and Benoit Paire continued on social media after Kyrgios and his compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis made fun of the Frenchman’s forehand during their Instagram live session.

Players are hosting their own talk shows on the social networking websites in order to kill the boredom and also engage their fans during the public crisis. Subsequently, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis also held a fun live session earlier this week.
