"No he doesn't!" - Nick Kyrgios laughs at the idea of Bernard Tomic receiving a wildcard entry for the 2023 Australian Open

Nick Kyrgios made a sarcastic dig at the Australian Open by not giving a wildcard to fellow Aussie Bernard Tomic. The two have often come to blows against each other and are known to take shots at any given opportunity.

The Australian Open recently released a list of players who will be receiving wildcards for the first Grand Slam of the season in January and excluded Tomic from it. When a user on Twitter questioned his exclusion and asked if he deserved a wildcard, Nick Kyrgios could not control himself.

"Hahahahaha NO HE DOESNT," wrote the Aussie.

Ahead of the 2022 Wimbledon, Kyrgios mentioned that Bernard Tomic had money troubles after Tomic challenged him to a 'million dollar' boxing match.

“He’s not relevant anymore, he’s not good anymore, and he’s obviously got money issues," said Kyrgios. "For someone who actually tried to stand up for him before and actually try and help him out … my family helped him out before. I paid for his flights back from Shanghai because he had no money.

"First of all, I don’t know who’s going to put the million dollars for him because he’s dead broke. Second of all, I have bigger fish to fry. I’m making millions of dollars right now … tournaments are still paying me €50,000 (AU$74,000) just to show up. I don’t need to get in the ring, I’m not desperate. I’m a professional tennis player, still playing at the highest level of sport. Bernard is not.”
