Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic have agreed a delightful side bet along with the £ 2 million ($ 3.5 million) for which they will play in the Wimbledon final.
The unlikely but obviously flourishing “bromance” between the couple, which has come to light as they prepare to fight in Sunday’s final, took a new ironic turn on the eve of the match when the couple engaged in a chat of ‘Instagram. , certainly to the delight of its millions of followers.
The finalists, who were previously famous in the dagger draw, have been doing much better, even becoming friends on social media, since Kyrgios was Djokovic’s main defender during the test of the his arrest in Melbourne before the Australian Open.
Now, the two budding mates have agreed that they should go out to dinner, with the winner paying the bill, even if it looks like Kyrgios is also interested, then they should go out and have a crazy time at a nightclub.
The couple met in training and had a word before taking the conversation to social media.
Djokovic: “It took me five years to say something nice about myself.”
Kyrgios: “But I defended you when it mattered.”
Djokovic: “You did it, thank you.”
Kyrgios: “Are we friends now?”
Djokovic: “If you invite me to a drink or dinner, I’ll accept. Tomorrow’s PS winner pays.”
Kyrgios: “Deal, let’s go to a nightclub and go crazy.”
This latest comment could have been Kyrgios’ blatant aggression in photos taken at a Belgrade nightclub amid the Covid pandemic when Djokovic, organizer of the controversial Adria tournaments, was seen dancing topless.
At the time, Kyrgios wasn’t deeply impressed and tweeted, “Shameless decision to move on with the ‘exposure’, fast-recovery mates, but that’s what happens when you ignore all protocols. That’s NOT A JOKE.”
