Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios
In keeping in line with his playing style, Nick Kyrgios had a hard-hitting response to journalist James Gray’s remark of disliking a poster featuring Kyrgios and doubles partner Thanasi Kokkinakis celebrating with the accompanying caption “It started with a bromance.” The Australian replied to Gray’s tweet with,” Why not? Coz u had no mates you grew up with and then won a slam with? Or?”
His fans received the tweet well. One of them backed Kyrgios by saying,” I’m happy someone in the tennis world is giving it like there get all these reporters putting shit out everyday and they think player should just take it.” Kyrgios has recently been actively hitting back at criticisms on social media. Unnecessary comments and articles have been met with swift responses by Kyrgios.
Kyrgios’ views on the media and criticism will be known better soon. The 27-year-old will be the center of an episode of a new documentary series. Netflix’s Break Point will explore the lesser-seen side of Kyrgios. With an entire episode focusing on Kyrgios, fans will get to know the star better than ever. The snippets released have already generated great excitement.
Kyrgios will be back on the court for the first time in 2023 at Melbourne Park. The World No.22 is among the favorites for the first Grand Slam tournament of the year. However, his recent injury struggles will be a concern. Even so, Kyrgios will be keen to team up with good friend Thanasi Kokkinakis.
The pair won the 2022 Australian Open doubles in front of their home crowd. They became the first wildcard entries to do so and were praised for their top performances. The two confirmed in recent weeks that they were entering this edition together and will be looking to defend their title. Their defense begins on the 16th of January.
