Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas met in the fourth round of the 2022 Wimbledon in a match that probably every tennis fan remembers.
During the match, the Greek player hit a ball out of the court and hit one of the fans after what his opponent requested a disqualification. However, that didn't happen and Stefanos Tsitsipas attempted to hit his opponent numerous times during the match, to what he also admitted after the match. On the other hand, Nick Kyrgios seemed to be taking the match calmly and eventually he prevailed as a winner.
After the match, the Australian even said: "Whatever happens on the court, stays on the court. I love him, I'm close to his brothers." But after Tsitsipas called him "a bully" there wasn't much love between the two of them. First, the Greek posted a picture on his Instagram profile where he sarcastically used newest tattoo quote of his opponent as a caption.
Then, during one of the interviews about playing doubles, Kyrgios said: “We’ve got a lot of doubles, we’ve got doubles in DC which I'm super excited about. I’ve had Stefanos (Tsitsipas) as a partner there so it can’t get much worse than that.”
And so it's obvious that Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas are not the best friends at the moment. In a trailer for Tennis Channel's Dear Friend, world number 6 was sitting on a grass court and sent a message to the Aussie: "Nick Kyrgios I challenge you to come here we play a rematch. Mr. Kryrgios please come to Costa Navarino I'd like a revenge match and no talking this time."
If Kyrgios continues to play the way he did in 2022 so far, it's almost sure that he will meet Tsitsipas at least once more and so fans can't wait to see if he responds to the offer or if he will leave it to official matches on the ATP Tour.
