In Short
- Tsitsipas and Zverev hate each other: Nick Kyrgios
- Djokovic was playing dodgeball on my returns: Kyrgios
- Kyrgios suggested that Murray should become his doubles partner
Nick Kyrgios carried on with his reputation of being an extremely volatile personality and proved it in a Instagram Live session with former world number 1 Andy Murray that he is not used to mincing words.
A tipsy Nicky Kyrgios decalred Andy Murray a better player than Novak Djokovic in the live session. The Australian also called Murray a 'living legend' and wished to play doubles with the scot.
Kyrgios said that in his last two encounters with Djokovic, the Serbian faced problems on his returns. The 25-year-old Kyrgios complimented Andy Murray and said that he gets onto his returns like a 'light' and smash them for winners.
“Muz is better than the big three. We all love Fed, Nadal and Djokovic, but Muz is the best, I believe that."
“Well, you are defiantly better than Djokovic, that’s for sure. I don’t want to make this controversial, but you are better than Djokovic, in my opinion."
“People will take this to social media and say he has won this many Slams, but he was playing dodgeball on my returns the last two times we played and you were on them like a light and smashing them for winners,” Kyrgios said while drinking red wine during the live session.
Andy Murray was also keen to know the reason why Kyrgios gets pumped up during the Laver Cup matches for Team World against Europe. Nicky Kyrgios said 'fun' was the reason behind his motivation at Laver cup.
"Because it's fun, they are my best buds (the world team). They are trying to be some European guys who have no banter, don't give one 'F' about each other. Which pisses me off. Let's be honest Tsitsipas and Zverev hate each other."
“Do you think me and Dominic Thiem would vibe. I’m more invested in a nice cocktail, but Thiem would be more interested in watching paint dry. It’s a different vibe.”
Talking about other things Andy Murray said he was recovering well from his injury. Murray, who ranks 129th currently, has been unable to recover fully from a pelvic injury and missed a series of tournaments. He had also pulled out of the Australian open.
"I feel pretty good I was doing well before the injury at the Davis Cup.. I think when things get back to normal I think I will be alright,' Andy Murray said.
NIck Kyrgios said that Murray was one of the players he misses during the lockdown. During the course of the chat, Kyrgios also said that Murray was looking extremely handsome.
