The online feud between Nick Kyrgios and Boris Becker is reaching new heights every day. Nick Kyrgios delivered a low blow to the former coach of Novak Djokovic in a number of his latest tweets, where he talked about Boris Becker’s prison time.

A fan had compared the two players, pointing out that the Australian player never won a Grand Slam, following which he took a shot at Boris Becker once again.

It all started a few days ago when Nick Kyrgios named Boris Becker in a particular interview as an example to explain how players from the older generation were much slower than the players from the current generation.

He also said that players like Novak Djokovic would completely destroy players like Boris Becker in their prime. To this, Boris Becker replied that the Australian player talks a lot and pointed out the fact that he has not won any major singles awards. 

Boris Becker then gave an interview where he said that had it not been for the old players, the current players would not have had a platform to make a living and earn so much money from the sport as they made it famous. To this, Kyrgios replied that he has brought many new fans to the game through the stuff he does off the court. 

Uhhh what? I’ve been arguably one of the most watched players outside the big three the last decade? Fans around the world and have brought so many more people to the sport. I’ve created my own stuff off the court.

Nick Kyrgios takes a shot at Boris Becker’s prison time 

Boris Becker spent eight months in the United Kingdom’s prison last year after he was found guilty of hiding assets on bankruptcy-related charges. He was later deported to Germany, and he currently has a 10-year ban on entering the UK.

When a fan posted a video of Boris Becker winning a Wimbledon Trophy and ridiculed Nick Kyrgios for opening OnlyFans recently, the Australian tennis player brought up the fact that the German legend has been in prison. 

Hahahaha ONE WENT TO PRISON. ( ran out of money) the other is using his brand to make more. Goodnight.
Nick Kyrgios wrote. 

Boris Becker has not given any response to Nick Kyrgios remarks on his jail time. It will be interesting to see whether this feud ends here or whether the German will bounce back with a strong rebuttal.
