Novak Djokovic’s letter to Craig Tiley that demanded an ease in the newly levied restriction on players, has received a lot of flak. After 72 players were subjected to strict lockdown in Melbourne, Djokovic sent a letter to Craig Tiley, Australian Open CEO, asking him to ease some restrictions on players.

Many in Australia have mocked Djokovic demands, citing the fact that these restrictions are in place to control the virus’ spread. Daniel Andrews, Victoria state’s Premier, flat out rejected Djokovic’s demands. So did Tennis Australia and Craig Tiley. Another person who disagreed with Novak Djokovic’s proposal is Nick Kyrgios.

The Australian recently took to Twitter to share his thoughts on Djokovic’s letter. And Kyrgios didn’t mince his words. “Djokovic is a tool,” Nick Kyrgios wrote. The Australian also commented on Bernard Tomic’s girlfriend and her complaints regarding food served to players at the hotel. “I don’t mind Bernie but his Mrs. obviously has no perspective, ridiculous scenes,” Kyrgios tweeted.
