Reactions to positive coronavirus cases continue after Adria Tour by Novak Djokovic, in which the Serbian and other players such as Grigor Dimitrov, Borna Coric or Viktor Troicki were infected in a tournament in which security measures were not followed.
The German Alexander Zverev was also present at that tournament, who gave negative tests for coronavirus and promised to keep 14 days of quarantine As a precautionary measure. However, this weekend a video in which Zverev appeared at a party in breach of quarantine that had been imposed. A news that surprised players like Nick Kyrgios, who did not hesitate to call the German tennis player “selfish”.
However, Kyrgios' words did not appeal to a German tennis legend like Boris Becker. The six-time Grand Slam winner harshly criticized Kyrgios for his comment and believes he shouldn't be giving other tennis players lessons. “I don't like rats! Anyone who scolds a fellow athlete is not a friend of mine. Look in the mirror and think you are better than us, Nick Kyrgios.”
Don’t like no #rats ! Anybody telling off fellow sportsman / woman is no friend of mine! Look yourself in the mirror and think your better than us …@NickKyrgios @farfetch

It is not the first time that Becker, who serves as Germany's captain in the Davis Cup and ATP Cup, has come to Zverev's defense, whom he has publicly advised to make decisions such as changing his coach to improve his tennis and who even went so far as to probe the young German pearl's coach.
