The 16-time Grand Slam champion was heard threatening the fan and saying, “I’ll find you after the match…. Trust me, I’ll come to find you..!”
The video went viral on social media as it was shared by thousands. Nick Kyrgios also didn’t miss the opportunity to troll the defending champion on social media as he commented below the video of the incident: “I’m scared” with a laughing face emoji.

Novak Djokovic talked about the incident after his third-round victory over Kudla at the Flushing Meadows. He explained that they just had a “little chat.”
“I liked the guy,” Djokovic added. “I’m going to buy him a drink. We’ll keep it between us. But he definitely helped me. He doesn’t even know, but he did help me.”
The 32-year-old continued, “I’m not going to talk about it. I think he did me a favor. Even maybe he didn’t want to do me a favor, he did me a favor, big favor.”
Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic are not on the same half of the draw but could face each other in the later stages of the US Open 2019.
