Novak Djokovic has a major plan to help Nick Kyrgios triumph, but how? For the Australian player, the 24-time Grand Slam champion has created a special six-month program. While initially offered exclusively to Kyrgios, another tennis star with aspirations of Grand Slam glory, Naomi Osaka, has expressed interest in joining the program.

Recently, Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios’ dropped a glimpse of Djokovic having a conversation with the 28-year-old tennis star. In that, the Serbian tennis player sarcastically talked about having a special offer for him. He said, “The offer still stands, you get on my six-month daily program, and you win Wimbledon.”

On the other hand, the 2022 Wimbledon finalists went against that offer and said, “No chance. Not living like that. No way.” However, as soon as Osaka learned about this program, she took to her Instagram account to share the clip and wrote, “Lol, I want to get on his six-month daily program.”

Even though it was a sarcastic banter conversation about having a program between the two, the four-time Grand Slam champion really seemed interested in marking her authority on the courts of SW19 with the help of 7-time Wimbledon Champion, Djokovic. Back in 2022, Kyrgios lost his chance to win a Grand Slam title at Wimbledon by losing the final to none other than the 36-year-old Serbian tennis player.

Kyrgios and Djokovic’s relationship evolved significantly in 2022, particularly during last year’s Australian Open. Despite their previous conflicts, the Aussie stood behind Djokovic at the Australian Open when the latter was being deported because of his anti-vaccine views.

Their relationship was further cemented by this support; the world number one even called their relationship a “bromance.” Not only that, but earlier this year at the Australian Open, both of them took their bromance to the next level.

During the Australian Open quarterfinals, the 24-time Grand Slam champion showed his love for the Australian star by blowing kisses at him. Despite their history of exchanging barbs, Djokovic and Kyrgios now have a cordial connection; during the match, the Serb even made Kyrgios chuckle in the ESPN commentary box.

Earlier this year, the former Wimbledon finalist, Kyrgios, said in Eurosport commentary, “We had a rocky relationship at the start and a couple of things changed and now we literally speak nearly every day.” He disclosed a startling detail about his connection with Djokovic, saying that they now communicate by exchanging memes virtually every day and highlighting how much has changed over the years.
