Nicholas Kyrgios reacted with irony to Novak Djokovic’s disqualification at the US Open. The Australian wondered how he would have been treated by acting the same as the Serbian.
Big favorite of the US Open, Novak Djokovic left the door prematurely this Sunday after his disqualification on a gesture of temper from the Serbian, guilty of having sent a ball at a linesman.
Excluded from the Grand Slam because of the application of the rules, the “Joker” then attracted the mockery of Nick Kyrgios, a bit ironic on social networks.
Kyrgios: “How many years would I have been suspended?”
The whimsical Australian has cracked a tweet where the situation of the world number one seems to amuse him at the highest point. Absent at Flushing Meadows due to the health situation, Nick Kyrgios reveled in the Serbian player’s troubles after a serious foul.
Swap me for jokers incident. ‘Accidentally hitting the ball kid in the throat’ how many years would I be banned for?

“Put me in the place of the joker in this incident, launched the current 40th of the ATP ranking on Twitter. Accidentally hitting the ball collector (note, a linesman) in the throat… How many years would I have been suspended? “
The Aussie accompanied its question with a poll proposing a five to twenty year suspension. Question to which more than 135,000 Internet users had fun answering. And among them the American Tommy Paul, 58th player in the world, relaunched Kyrgios with a nice: “We would get you out of prison now.”
Triple penalty for Djokovic
After apologizing in a message on social networks, Novak Djokovic did not escape disciplinary sanctions. In the absence of a suspension, the Serbian was fined equivalent to his prize money on this US Open (around 211,000 euros).
Eighth in the final, the “Joker” also lost all ATP points earned at Flushing Meadows after his stroke. This should make Nick Kyrgios happy, or at least make him smile.
