Nick Kyrgios has claimed there were threats of a locker room stoush after he partnered with close friend Thanasi Kokkinakis to upset the top seeds in the men’s doubles and send them out of the Australian Open.
“Just letting you know after yesterday’s chop fest in doubles my opponents coach and trainer proceeded to threaten to fight in the players gym,” Kyrgios wrote on Twitter.Kokkinakis responded a short time later, also on Twitter, saying: “That was crazy!! Man thought it was UFC.““Thanasi actually messaged me as it was happening and said Nick got accosted in the locker room by Pavic’s fitness trainer and obviously weren’t very happy,” Groth told Channel Nine.
The “Special Ks” were on court for a little more than 90 minutes, attracting a strong following as the temperature and action heated up.
