Nick Kyrgios issues brutal dig in response to Zizou Bergs responding to criticism over French Open moment

Earlier this week, Zizou Bergs called out Nick Kyrgios over criticism surrounding his French Open move which saw Bergs say the party is here. Kyrgios then responded calling him 'lame'.

Asked earlier this week about it in his interview with Clay magazine, he said he didn't notice the post. "No. What did he say?" the Belgian responded,

But when told he said that he wasn't shocked as in his view he can't take criticism.

Zizou Bergs calls out Nick Kyrgios's criticism on his French Open move

"Also in one on-court interview after a victory in s-Hertogenbosch, the presenter asked me at the end ‘where is the party’. It's a lot of fun that the fans are vibing with me. I barely know him [Nick Kyrgios], but I have to say I do really like him. On court he's doing things a little bit differently. To say "lame" is a little bit less nice from him. He can criticize a lot, but when he gets criticized, he never takes it well. I'm not surprised that he's saying this.”

But in the comment section of Clay magazine's post, Kyrgios responded brutally just saying: "Who?".

While Kyrgios isn't a fan though, the French certainly are as he explained in the same interview. "First of all, in France I have a bit of an advantage with my name Zizou. So I guess somewhere if you behave well people will be nice to you, and that’s a bit what happened in my match against a French player, at the Suzanne Lenglen with a crazy atmosphere. People were cheering him on, they weren’t booing me, so it was great. If you play against a French player late at night, a lot of people have been drinking… it can go overboard, so I’m not surprised what happened to him (Goffin), especially with the alcohol in the stands. You have to be nice, and hope to play a match not too late," Bergs explained.
