Born-again Kyrgios all set for final date at SW19

London: Nick Kyrgios’ choice of words were intriguing. He styled the relationship with Novak Djokovic as a ‘bromance’. The duo exchanged messages which the Aussie found, ‘weird’. Earlier in the week, the Serb in a chat with Kyrgios, said, he hoped to see him on Sunday. The 27-year-old subsequently answered in the affirmative.

The Wimbledon title clash – Djokovic’s eighth at SW19 and a record 32nd Grand Slam final -- and Kyrgios’ first appearance in a major final – isn’t the best place to fan the fires of a budding bromance, but that’s where they’ll meet at lunch-hour on Sunday.

The six-time Wimbledon champion steered clear of romance while saying the two were in a better space since January when the outspoken Kyrgios backed the embattled Djokovic, whose vaccine stance created quite the stir in political corridors.

“As a tennis fan, I’m glad that he’s in the final because he’s got so much talent,” Djokovic said. “Everyone was praising him when he came on the Tour, expecting great things from him.”

Kyrgios leads the head-to-head 2-0, having won both encounters, back in 2017 in straight sets. The matches were played on outdoor hardcourts.
