I stand by my poor opinions of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, says Nick Kyrgios
Nick Kyrgios says he has not changed his opinion on ATP heavyweights Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, and has also vowed to keep the ‘honesty’ coming.
The Australian made controversial comments about the duo, branding Rafael Nadal a sore loser and Novak Djokovic “cringeworthy” for his obsession with being liked
He received plenty of criticism for the comments, but he says he stands by them – and has also found fellow players for what he said.

“Regardless of what players say, my opinions won’t change,” Kyrgios said ahead of the Fever-Tree Championships at Queen’s Club next week.
“A couple of people [in the locker room] have loved it actually.
“I’m not going to mention names, but regardless if people like it or don’t like it they were just my honest thoughts.”
