However, the funniest thing about the entire thing is Nick Kyrgios’ reply itself. The Australian replied, “He at least going to try and level the head to head,” in response to the comment on Novak Djokovic.

Kyrgios is of course talking about the head-to-head record between the two players, which heavily leans in the Nick’s favor. The two players have met only twice, in 2017, when Kyrgios beat Novak on both occasions. Moreover, in both their meetings, Kyrgios prevailed in straight sets over the Serbinator.
