Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas clash again as feud worsens – 'Taught you a lesson'


But all the talk afterwards was about the pair’s antics, which saw both of them slapped with fines. Tsitsipas was fined £8,200, while Kyrgios was hit with a £3,300 bill, after he demanded the Greek player be defaulted for hitting the ball into the crowd and also asked for a “new referee.”

But afterwards, Kyrgios played down any talk of a rift, telling the media: “He was getting frustrated at times and it’s a frustrating sport thats for sure. You all think you can play but it’s very frustrating so I’ve got ultimate respect for him. Whatever happens on the court, I love him. I’m quite close to his brother so I don’t care.”

The brotherly love seems to have dispersed now though, with Kyrgios, currently sidelined with a knee injury, taking aim at the Australian Open finalist on social media. But that only came after Tsitsipas accused the world No 20 of ‘breaking’ their relationship.
