Djokovic and Kyrgios: Training session features playful punishment
A video has surfaced online showing a joint training session between Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios. It would be nothing unusual if it weren't for two of the Australians' associates crawling across the court. It was the result of a lost match.
Novak Djokovic has had two victories in this year’s Wimbledon matches. He flew to London for his first tournament win of the year. Paradoxically, in the previous brilliant season, he won three Grand Slam tournaments and stumbled only in the final of Wimbledon against Carlos Alcaraz. So, he can reclaim the lost trophy.
So far, Novak Djokovic is in good spirits, although before Wimbledon there were speculations about the Serbian possibly withdrawing due to an injury. However, he has returned to full strength.
One of the tennis world champion's closest companions is Nick Kyrgios. The athletes went for a shared training session, in which they had a great time. They also arranged a match for their associates, where the losers had to face a challenge.
As it turned out, Novak Djokovic's sparring partners were better than their opponents. The defeated had to crawl across the court as punishment, personally overseen by the Serbian.
I need to get that film. You guys are ruining my good name, people - Nick Kyrgios joked. And getting that recording didn’t prove to be a difficult task since it quickly appeared on social media.
Novak Djokovic feels right at home in such situations. The Serbian is not only a great tennis player but also a born showman. His charismatic personality has also allowed him to gain immense popularity. This season, the Serbian’s number one goal is to win gold at the Olympic Games, but if the opportunity to achieve a good result at Wimbledon arises, he will try to seize it.
