‘Worst guy’ Nick Kyrgios takes another pot shot at Novak Djokovic
Just when you thought the feud between Nick Kyrgios-Novak Djokovic is something of the past, up pops Kyrgios with another controversial thing.
Kyrgios was asked to sign autographs after his doubles defeat at the Atlanta Open when someone wearing a Djokovic shirt approached him.
The shirt said “NOVAK” and the Australian didn’t let the opportunity go to waste as he took a black marker to cross out Djokovic’s name and then said “This is what I think of you and your shirt, gone”.

After Tennis Channel posted the story in Twitter, Kyrgios couldn’t hold back with another remark.
Yes, I’ve outdone myself. Wouldn’t want to scribble on a shirt and banter with some kids. What a bad dude ?????????

And another as he sarcastically referred to himself as the “worst guy”.
Actually, this has to be in the top tier of worst things to happen, ever. I’m the worst guy

Kyrgios and Djokovic have never been the best of friends, but the Australian upped the ante earlier this year when he called the 16-time Grand Slam champion “cringeworthy” during the No Challenges Remaining podcast, adding that the Serb has a “sick obsession with wanting to be liked”.
Djokovic admitted that he wasn’t sure why Kyrgios was hitting out at him, but added he “wasn’t losing sleep” over the comments.
