OF RATS AND DOUGHNUTS

With Wimbledon cancelled, we had to make do with a twitter war between Nick Kyrgios and Boris Becker. In the fallout over that shoddy event in Croatia featuring Novak Djokovic and others including the German ‘Sasha’ Zverev, Kyrgios and Becker kicked off after Zverev, who tested negative but said he would isolate for 14 days, was filmed at a party. Kyrgios was critial of Zverev before Becker, who’s been mentoring Zverev, stepped in. “Anybody telling off fellow sportsman/woman is no friend of mine! Look yourself in the mirror and think you’re better than us...@nickkyrgios”, went Boris. Kyrgios replied: “For goodness sake Boris, I’m not competing or trying to throw anyone under the bus. It’s a global pandemic and if someone is as idiotic as Alex to do what he has done, I’ll call him out for it. Simple.” Becker: “We all live in the pandemic called Covid19! It’s terrible and it killed too many lives... we should protect our families/ loved ones and follow the guidelines but still don’t like rats.” “Rats?” said the Australian, “For holding someone accountable? Strange way to think of it champion, I’m just looking out for people. WHEN my family and families all over the world have respectfully done the right thing. And you have a goose waving his arms around, imma say something. @Theborisbecker is a bigger doughnut than I thought. Can hit a volley, obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed though.” Becker came back: “Your funny guy … how is it down under? Respect all the guidelines?”

Kyrgios: “Haha nah bro I’m good, don’t act like you’re my friend now because you got sat down ...” Game, Set and Match
