Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios share an off the court bromance. In a recent interview, the Greek was asked about his relationship with Nick. The 22-year-old said he has better friends. He was quick to point out Nick’s character and compared it to John McEnroe.

“Is it a bromance? I have better friends than Kyrgios, honestly. He is a fun guy, sometimes he doesn’t know what he is doing. He reminds me of John McEnroe. We need people like him in tennis, to make it more unpredictable,” Tsitsipas said.

Kyrgios is an entertainer on the court. From the umpire to the ball kids, the crowd, the opponent, he can be witnessed interacting with all. The Aussie’s off the court banter with players and former players has often led him to trouble. He has been recently in a war of words against, tennis great Boris Becker.

Nick and Tsitsipas are also a part of the Laver Cup but with different teams. The duo shared the court and paired up at the Citi Open in 2019. About their pairing Tsitpias called it “very, very fun”. The Greek also found Nick to be “character-wise different”. The duo has known each other for years now, and Nick also adds Tsitsipas to his brief list of friends in tennis.
