"We never were fighting" - Kyrgios on him and Tsitsipas

Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas were somewhat close a few years ago but the relationship seemed to grow sour recently.

It all culminated at Wimbledon this year when the players clashed on the court with several questionable moves by both. Kyrgios downplayed it during the on-court interview explaining it's just tennis rivalry like no other but Tsitsipas reignited it with some harsh comments on the Greek.

Summer happened and the situation seemed to have calmed down with Tsitsipas issuing a rematch challenge to Kyrgios and he wanted to know how much cash and where. Then we got some more comments from the mother of Tsitsipas recently who spoke to Russian Championat in Astana.

She said that Kyrgios confused Tsitsipas with 'dirty tennis' and he did not know how to handle it. His mother explained that that was the reason Tsitsipas lost his temper. Kyrgios addressed it recently as well but in the form of a response during a Q and A session on Instagram.

A fan asked him if he was still fighting with Tsitsipas and Kyrgios simply responded:

"We never were fighting, he was upset he lost"
