“Nick Kyrgios is the Dennis Rodman of tennis”

Nick Kyrgios continues to prepare to return to the tennis courts in the tournaments leading up to the Australian Open after not competing for a year due to the coronavirus pandemic (The last tournament he played was in Acapulco in February of last year).

The Australian has made headlines in recent weeks for his criticism of Novak Djokovic and his attitude to the coronavirus pandemic, a fact that was widely criticized by the Australian, whose name has also appeared by surprise in recent hours at NBA press conferences.

And it is that the Greek power forward of the Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked about the Australian tennis player, who also has Greek roots, and 'The Greek Freak' he surprised with the comparison he made in an ironic tone. “Nick Kyrgios has a somewhat unstable personality. How can I say this politically correct? He's the Dennis Rodman of tennis. Just kidding, he's a nice guy, I've had a chance to talk to him a bit. I think he is a fan of the Miami Heat (with some irony, since Kyrgios is a declared fan of the Celtics). I wish him all the luck in the world, “said the Greek.

Kyrgios's response was immediate and he thanked Antetokounmpo for his praise. “Haha, my friend Giannis. I love you. Keep doing your thing and inspiring people, brother,” wrote in his social networks Kyrgios, the 'Dennis Rodman' of tennis.
