Kyrgios assures that Mektic and Pavic’s team threatened to fight him in the locker room

For one thing or another, Nick Kyrgios is usually the center of attention wherever it goes. Friday was because He and his compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis won the Australian Open doubles against the number one pair in the world, Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic., Olympic and Wimbledon champions. Hours later, due to an event related to this match that he reported on his Twitter account.

“Just to inform you that after mincing them in doubles, the coach and the physical trainer of my opponents they proceeded to threaten to fight in the players locker room. Tennis is a soft sport, soft, Kokkinakis. All because I moved and hit them with a ball,” the wayward Aussie wrote.

The fact is that one throw of the game, the ball thrown by Kyrgios hit one of his rivals, something quite common, on the other hand, in doubles matches. Kokkinakis, who specified that apparently the author of the threats was specifically Pavic’s trainer, also intervened in this story through social networks. “That was crazy!! That guy thought he was the UFC.” During the match, the spectators ardently cheered on the local couple, something that their rivals took with sportsmanship, although with some complaint. “That’s how they are here. We’re used to it. But it wouldn’t hurt to show them some respect.” After this incident, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis will face Israeli Behar and Ecuadorian Escobar in the round of 16 on Sunday.
