@NickKyrgios what do you think about @GrigorDimitrov. Do you think he can win a slam next year and maybe to be №1 one day?

Kyrgios took a gentle jab at good buddy and sometime practice partner Andy Murray.I like watching Feds, Tsonga and Murray. Too many favourite ice cream flavours to choose, I'm a bit of a whore when it comes to ice cream. https://t.co/NSsd5EwdRG

@NickKyrgios Any chance you will play doubles with Andy Murray at some tournament? It will be awesome to see you both playing doubles together #fun #AskKygs

When it comes to natural ability, Kyrgios believes there's no one better.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

Thanks Julie, I guess not being a disgrace to Australia means I have to troll and abuse people I don't even know, much like yourself….. https://t.co/YRmY2CkmVt
