Serbia Open tournament director Djordje Djokovic would like to host Nick Kyrgios in Belgrade and show him his gratitude for the support he showed to
Novak Djokovic during the Australia visa debacle
When everyone and everything seemed to be against Djokovic, Kyrgios
went public and showed his support to the record nine-time Australian
Open champion. The Djokovic family hasn't forgotten the support
Kyrgios showed during the Australia visa debacle as Djordje has
expressed a desire to be Kyrgios' host in Belgrade:
"I want to bring Nick Kyrgios to Belgrade, to thank him for supporting Novak, Belgrade and Serbia. He
is an entertainer, he doesn't mince his words and he will always
express his opinion, whatever it may be. But above all, he is a serious
athlete and tennis player. I hope that he will come to the Serbia Open
before he finishes his tennis career."
When Djokovic finally decided to address the Australia visa debacle, he admitted he was pleasantly surprised by Kyrgios' reaction. Djokovic admitted that Kyrgios' support meant a lot at the time. Nick Kyrgios surprised me pleasantly, I thanked him and all of the others who stood up for me."
