Nick Kyrgios has blasted his detractors after tickets for his his exhibition clash with Novak Djokovic this Friday sold out in under an hour.
On Monday, Australian Open organisers announced that the two stars would go head to head in a 'practice' match at the Rod Laver Arena, forming part of the build up to the first Grand Slam of the season. The decision raised eyebrows, given the two could soon be meeting again for real Down Under.
It's already been a tempestuous month for Kyrgios, who risked the wrath of his teammates by withdrawing from the United Cup team event just a day before the event began. His actions prompted a verbal feud with Australian co-captain Lleyton Hewitt, who Kyrgios accused of "throwing me under a bus."
