A day after announcing an early end to his season due to injury, Nick Kyrgios took to Twitter to answer questions from his fans.
The world No.20, who reached his first Masters 1000 final in Cincinnati earlier this year, spoke about a variety of topics. Although it wasn’t done in a serious fashion as he poked fun at himself and his fellow players on the tour.
One user asked Kyrgios what was the hardest part about playing Roger Federer is. Instead of talking tactics, his answer joked about Federer’s wife Mirka. Inspired by the infamous confrontation between Federer and Stan Wawrinka at the 2014 ATP Finals. Video footage seemingly caught Mirka hackling Wawrinka during their clash.
Mirka heckling and whistling at me before I serve and between serves!! #JustKidding https://t.co/F6if833dey

The 22-year-old confirmed that he would be interested in playing doubles alongside Andy Murray one day. Joking that he would be interested if the Brit ‘ever gets fit.’ Murray hasn’t played on the tour since Wimbledon due to an hip injury and is expected to return in January.
Assuming @andy_murray ever gets fit, then yes I will bestow upon him the pleasure of my skills on the doubles court. https://t.co/3UPeEkItBR

Although the two will not be playing doubles at the Australian Open. Kyrgios confirmed that he has already selected a partner, but didn’t reveal their name.
Speaking about the dancing abilities of his rivals, he described France’s Gael Monfils as the best dancer. An unsurprising revelation for those who have watched Monfils’ dance off with Laurent Lokoli at the 2014 French Open. World No.183 Matt Reid has the unfortunate honor of being the worst dancer.
Definitely @MattReid12345 is the worst he’s got all the rhythm of a dead fish. Best is probably @Gael_Monfils https://t.co/xPr3M9lAP3
