Aussie Star Nick Kyrgios Bluntly Turns Down ‘Brother’ Novak Djokovic’s Tempting Offer to Upscale His Tennis Career

Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis legend, recently extended an offer to coach his friend and controversial Aussie tennis star, Nick Kyrgios. Both players share a mutual respect and have spoken highly of each other in interviews. Kyrgios and the Serb have an interesting relationship both on and off the tennis court. It was particularly witnessed ahead of their clash in the final of last year’s Wimbledon Championships. The rivals, who come from different generations, have become good friends over the years despite their different personalities.

The fiery duo has a close relationship off the court. Djokovic even stated that Kyrgios would win “five (grand) slams” with him in his coaching staff. However, Kyrgios seems to have declined Djokovic’s offer. The Aussie feels confident that he doesn’t need coaching from one of the game’s all-time greats.

According to Fox News, Kyrgios gave his response to Djokovic’s offer on Instagram. He wrote, “Hahahah. Instead, let’s go(brother) have a nice dinner and some drinks!” It is evident from his post that Kyrgios values his friendship with Djokovic and would rather hang out with him than receive coaching. However, some fans suggested that Kyrgios will regret his decision in the future.

The Aussie is known for his flashy and unpredictable style of play, which has won him many fans but also caused controversies at times. Despite his talent, Kyrgios has struggled with consistency and has been criticized for his lack of focus and discipline on the court.

On the other hand, Djokovic is considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Djokovic has also spent more weeks at world number one in the ATP rankings than any other player in history, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Djokovic’s offer states that he believes in the Aussie’s potential. The Nole has a reputation for being a generous and supportive mentor to younger players.
