Australian tennis professionals Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic have been having a verbal duel throughout this year. In the newest addition to the chapter, Nick Kyrgios has mocked Tomic suggesting that he should not get a wildcard for the upcoming Australian Open tournament. The 27-year-old was responding to a fan’s comment asking whether Tomic deserves a wildcard.
Kyrgios and Tomic have an ongoing saga of some fiery exchanges this year which started when Tomic challenged Kyrgios to a million-dollar match or even a boxing bout.
