Tennis: When Kyrgios drank, he sent heavy! – Sports News: Tennis

It started as a backhand from a stolen hand or service of which he has the secret: the Australian Nick Kyrgios paid the head of Novak Djokovic, believing that the Briton Andy Murray was “better” than him during a live conversation on the Instagram social network, this Saturday between the two players, deprived of competition because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The prisoners’ bullet

“Djokovic played dodgeball (bullet to prisoners) on my service when you sent him back as a winner, ”said Kyrgios, who said he had drunk six glasses of wine before connecting to live at midnight Australian time from his home in Canberra.

“I think you should have one of the best careers of all time, that you are better than Djokovic”, continued the 40th world, who is second to none to add fuel to the fire, especially after a drunken evening.
 
Murray, who has three Grand Slam titles to his credit, against 17 for Djokovic, replied politely, modestly, as embarrassed: “The results suggest the opposite”. He is not all wrong.

Winner twice in the Grand Slam final against Djokovic (at Wimbledon 2013 and at the US Open 2012), the Briton remains largely dominated in all direct confrontations against the Serb, No. 1 in the world, by 25 victories against 11.

Murray, who was due to return from a hip injury in March if the pandemic had not stopped the ATP circuit, has won only two tournaments (Dubai and Antwerp) since 2017 and even considered retiring before changing her mind.

The Scot, who has just celebrated his 33rd birthday, is now 129th in the world. The Olympic champion in London in 2012 clarified that he felt “rather well” and that “everything would be fine” for him during the “return to normal” after the health crisis.

“He wants to be Roger …”

In 2019, Kyrgios had already let go against Djokovic, saying that he had “a sickly obsession with the need to be loved”: “He wants to be Roger (Federer, editor’s note). He wants to be loved so much that I can’t bear it, ”added the child of tennis world tennis.

During this amazing live performance, Kyrgios then offered Murray to play double now with him. To which the Scotsman replied: “Only if you promise to hold on well, you said you would.”

The 25-year-old Australian also recognized a new passion for oenology: “My knowledge and my interest in red wine increased incredibly during this period of confinement”.

One or two drinks is fine, but six, hello the damage!
