“I’ve been one of the most talked player in the last decade,” Nick Kyrgios escalates his fight with Boris Becker, posts cryptic ‘JOKER’ photo

The online battle of words between Nick Kyrgios and Boris Becker does not seem to end soon, as a new angle is appearing every day from either of the two. Their social media battle has been going on for some time now, and recently, the Australian has added another twist to their clash.

World No. 192 replied to a comment stating that no one is taking the Australian’s comments about the German legend seriously. 

 Haha look you can bullshit all you want but I’ve been one of the most talked about tennis players the last decade. People like you sit in your basement with your hands down your pants waiting for me to do something.

The 2022 Wimbledon finalist said

The Australian has been going at it for quite some time now. It all began when he started comparing generations of tennis athletes, specifically taking a dig at Boris Becker and his slow game back in the day. He also spoke about how athletes were just a whole lot different and better than their earlier counterparts.

Nick Kyrgios is someone who is not afraid to speak his mind. He does so most boldly and straightforwardly possible, without thinking much of the consequences.

The Australian attacked a person on his social media handle and also posted a picture of the infamous ‘Joker’ character from the popular ‘Batman’ film series as he escalated his fight with the former German tennis player. 

Nick Kyrgios and Boris Becker go at it against each other

Nick Kyrgios started an online banter with the former World No. 1, as he claimed the older generation of tennis players had a slower game and would not be able to adapt and compete in the fast-paced nature of today’s game.

He specifically pointed towards players like Boris Becker, who, in response, questioned the credibility of the Australian for not having won a single Grand Slam title in her career so far except for a doubles title.

This did not sit well with World No. 192, and he once again lashed out against the German and took a personal and cheeky dig at his time in prison. Boris Becker took the bigger step and tried to end their little feud by wishing him a speedy recovery and also stating how he hoped to see him back in action soon after the Australian confirmed his withdrawal from a second consecutive Australian Open.
