Nick Kyrgios has today made a claim about Novak Djokovic during his first-round win at the Australian Open.
The Australian player was on co-commentary duty for Eurosport.
So, what did Kyrgios say about Djokovic during his win? Let’s take a closer look…
What Nick Kyrgios said about Novak Djokovic
The elite Serbian player was given a stern assignment in the opening round in Melbourne.
Croatian qualifier Dino Prizmic pushed the world number one all the way but lost in four sets eventually.
Djokovic fired 11 aces during the match as he claimed a 6-2, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 victory earlier today.
During the match, Kyrgios posed the question of whether or not Djokovic has the most die-hard fans.
He told Eurosport: “Do you think Novak has the most die-hard fans out there? It does feel like that. He has given them a lot to cheer about!”
Kyrgios is right about Novak Djokovic
It certainly does feel as though Djokovic has the most loyal supporters – but then he does give them plenty of memorable days.
No male player has ever lifted as many Grand Slam titles as Djokovic and he’s showing no sign of letting up.
In full flow, he can prove relentless and ultimately he is a heavy favourite to claim another Australian Open here.
Djokovic will be hoping to move through the gears as the tournament progresses and be in peak condition for the business end.
Kyrgios is a great addition to the Eurosport pundit team and he spoke well about Djokovic throughout his match earlier.
A few Serbia flags were spotted in the crowd during his first-round match today and they will stay loyal to their man during the Australian Open.
