Kyrgios renews war of words with Becker: "Maybe we can go back to tweeting and you commenting on my Instagram like a 10 year old after you finish dealing with what you need to deal with"

Nick Kyrgios has renewed a war of words with Boris Becker labelling his actions as those of a 10 year old as well as hinting at his ongoing court case regarding his bankruptcy in 2017.
Becker could face a jail term of up to seven years if found guilty of failing to reveal ownership of properties in London and Germany - as well as over a million across multiple bank accounts.
He pleaded not guilty this week and Kyrgios said on his Twitter: "Maybe we can go back to tweeting and you commenting on my Instagram like a 10 year old after you finish dealing with what you need to deal with."
Kyrgios himself posted on Instagram a photo which started the spat which said as a caption 'Different breed' with Becker commenting 'in your dreams'.
“Hating like a little groupie. Lingering around like a bad smell, maybe hoping to get more likes and follows. Unfortunately never be as influential,” Kyrgios replied.
Kyrgios continued on Thursday, posting on Twitter: “He’s gone from wanting to coach me, obviously for his desperate need of a pay check, to hating on my Instagram. Strange world we live in."

- From Day One, legalizing Sports Betting was never going to end well (for The Sport... not the thousands who lose their livelihoods and bank accounts). We're not even close to the end of the damage this is causing.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
