Nick Kyrgios received a different kind of birthday gift from his fellow professional, Stefanos Tsitsipas, on Monday. The Greek sensation played a prank on Kyrgios and shared the Australian star’s number with his fans. Consequently, Nick revealed the damage Tsitsipas had done after sharing his number.

On Monday, Tsitsipas continued his trend of posting an image of him standing in public holding a piece of cardboard. However, this time Stefanos held one that read ‘call me’, followed by a phone number which he captioned: “lift others up”.

Subsequently, Kyrgios took to the social media and revealed that Tsitsipas has given out his number, and urged everyone to stop calling him. “You are an absolute idiot, everyone stop calling me!!!!!”, wrote Kyrgios.

However, Nick had to shut his phone off. Moreover, he might need to change his number as fans aren’t going to stop calling or texting him. Later, Tsitsipas also posted an image with another cardboard sign saying, “Stop calling Nick.”  However, the damage was already done.

Subsequently, Kyrgios, in an Instagram story, urged everyone to stop bothering him as he couldn’t use his phone. “What’s up guys, I understand that it’s my birthday today, 25, it’s a big one. But please, I understand that Tsitsipas posted my number on his Instagram. Please stop calling me. I can’t even play music, I can’t do anything, please stop calling me. Appreciate it,” he said in the video.
