MELBOURNE - Australia’s Nick Kyrgios has branded Rafa Nadal a sore loser, the Spaniard’s uncle Toni an “idiot” and said world number one Novak Djokovic has a “sick obsession” with being liked in a podcast certain to ruffle feathers ahead of the French Open.
Kyrgios has had a tense relationship with Nadal, who accused him of “lacking respect for the public, the opponent and himself” after being beaten by the Australian at the Mexican Open in March. “It’s not a good look for you, I feel. And then uncle Toni came out saying, ‘He lacks education’. I’m like, ‘Bra , I did 12 years at school, you idiot.Turning his sights on another of the game’s modern greats, Kyrgios described Djokovic as “an unbelievable player” and “a champion of the sport” but said the Serb was too desperate to be admired like popular Swiss rival Roger Federer.
“This whole celebration thing that he does after matches, it’s like so cringeworthy. It’s very cringeworthy.”
