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.
"When he wins, it’s fine. He won’t say anything bad, he’ll credit the opponent, ‘He was a great player’. But as soon as I beat him, it’s just like, ‘He has no respect for me, my fans and no respect to the game’," said Kyrgios. "I just feel like he has a sick obsession with wanting to be liked. He just wants to be like Roger," he said.
Kyrgios devoted special attention to Spanish veteran Fernando Verdasco, calling him"the most arrogant person ever".
He might play some scintillating tennis at times, but he's sure no McEnroe when it comes to his comments. Just a bit of a boor who happens to love the sound of his own voice. Not sure why he expects anyone to respect him back.
