The current ‘rebel boy’ against a legend. Nick Kyrgios and Boris Becker had a hard crossing on Twitter this day, regarding the attitude of Alexander Zverev, who was seen at a party when he had promised to isolate himself to avoid a contagion from Covid-19.
On Monday, Kyrgios (40th world player) called Zverev (No. 4) “selfish” for coming to a party when he announced that he would spend 14 days of confinement after participating in the Adria Tour, the Novak exhibition tournament. Djokovic, who had to be canceled after several people were infected with the new coronavirus, including Djokovic himself and other tennis players.
Becker, winner of six Grand Slams in the 1980s and 1990s, defended his compatriot on Tuesday: “I don’t like rats. Whoever attacks an athlete is not my friend! Look in the mirror, do you think you are better than us? @NickKyrgios ”the 52-year-old former player tweeted.
Kyrgios, 25, was quick to respond: “For God’s sake, Boris! I am not competing or trying to tarnish your reputation. It is a global pandemic and if someone is stupid enough to do what Alex has done, I say so. It’s that simple. “
And he directly attacked Becker: “@TheBorisBecker is a bigger donut (literally ‘bigger donut’) than I thought. He can return a volley, but he’s not the smartest guy in the world. “
Across the track, Becker responded with another thump: “You’re a funny guy … how’s it going in Australia? Do you respect all the slogans? ”.
“Hahaha. I’m fine, brother. But do not pretend you have become my friend, “replied the Australian.
Becker, triple winner at Wimbledon who, after sports glory, has experienced serious financial problems, returned the ball again: “I would like to see @NickKyrgios reach their full potential and win a Grand Slam! It would be an incredible model for youth and the world, on issues of equality and racism. Get up and do your job! ”
Kyrgios further extended the exchange: “Why are you talking about tennis now? It has nothing to do with tennis! ” And he closed it shortly after: “Why don’t you explain why you defend him? No apology to get out of trouble. “
Zverev and Kyrgios should meet again from July 13 to 19 in Berlin in an exhibition tournament on grass and hard court.
