Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic
The former world No.1, Novak Djokovic truly stands by his words ’35 is the new 25′. A while ago, Novak went all in against the young Australian, Alex de Minaur after crushing him in straight sets 6-2, 6-1, 6-2. Alex had no answers to the shots played by Novak as the game ended in just two hours. It was a brutal domination from the 35-year-old as he cruises past Alex and reach the quarterfinal of the Australian Open.
Experts and fans predicted it would be an interesting context going into the game as Alex had been playing some amazing tennis in the past week. Even the legend, John McEnroe predicted that the 22nd seed will cause trouble to the nine-time champion here. But the Serbian had other plans and he looked like he was in hurry to finish the match. He showed no sign of discomfort today with his hamstring injury and played some beautiful tennis.
In a one-sided match where Novak hit 26 winners while Alex could hit only 9, fans once again saw a game of dominant tennis from this superstar. It looked like he gets better and better with the injury as the tournament progresses.
Many fans across the world went bonkers for his performance. However, one such fan is the star Australian, Nick Kyrgios who praised his friend, Novak on Twitter. Fans and other professional players agreed with his tweet and appreciated the greatest player of all time.
Nick makes a funny statement and said he has no idea how he beat him in the past. Nevertheless, fans had a bit laugh about his tweet too and reminded him that he defeated Novak at his weakest time.

Some fans however had other things to say like, they reminded Nick that Novak defeated a player from his country and he is making fun of it. People also showed sympathy towards Alex because it was just not his day on the court. Novak was playing on another level and there is nothing Alex could do more today.
A fellow Australian player, John Millman also replied to Nick’s tweet saying how he got a chance to play Novak and said it was a different planet tennis. However, fans asked Nick not to compare him and Alex to Novak because Nick is already a star player but Alex is just starting.
Many fans poured in tweets praising the amazing game of Novak and wished him luck to win the rest of the matches in the tournament. However, some fans went against Nick and corrected him and saying that was not a measure of ability and he could never do that again. However, Novak’s next matchup is against the fifth seed, Andrey Rublev from Russia. The irony is that this quarterfinal is a bigger match than the semifinals in terms of the seedings.
