Fernando Verdasco to a tweet that was posted and quickly deleted by Nick Kyrgios on Monday. Kyrgios jumped on Twitter to have a little fun during the hotly contested and controversial match between his mate Thanasi Kokkinakis and Fernando Verdasco, then quickly thought better of it and deleted the tweet. Oh, but Twitter never forgets. Here’s the tweet in question, as it was screen-capped.

Verdasco has indeed lost six straight against Australians, most recently vs De Minaur in Sydney. pic.twitter.com/By6q04wimH

@NickKyrgios when you have the courage to put a tweet insulting another player you need to have the same to don’t delete it.
