Murray ends live chat with ‘drunk’ rival
Murray & Kyrgios
TENNIS ace Sir Andy Murray cut short an embarrassing online chat with “drunk” Australian player Nick Kyrgios.
Kyrgios, 25, repeatedly told him he loved him and slagged off fellow players during the Instagram live chat on Saturday.
Ex-wimbledon champ Murray, 33, cringed as the No 40 men’s singles player told him he was better than Novak Djokovic.
After 15 minutes Murray said “I’m out.” He added: “Most comments are asking [if] you’re drunk which I think is clear.”
Asked how many wines he’d had, Kyrgios replied “six, about as many games as you gave me at Wimbledon”.
Murray is back training and thinks he’ll be injuryfree when tennis returns.
