- GoCurrent (@current_go) June 30, 2020Becker, 52, winner of six Grand Slam tournaments in the 1980s and 1990s, defended his compatriot on Tuesday: "I don't like scales (Editor's note:" rats "in English) ! Anyone who attacks a sports colleague is not my friend! Look at yourself in a mirror, do you think you're better than us? @NickKyrgios, ”Becker tweeted to his cadet.
"Obviously this is not an arrow! "
Kyrgios was quick to reply: "For the love of God, Boris, I am not in a competition or sullying his reputation. It's a global pandemic and if someone is as silly as Alex to do what he did, I say it. Simple. "
Then the Australian attacked Becker directly: “@TheBorisBecker is a bigger piece of cake (Editor's note: literally, bigger donut) than I thought. It can hit a volley but obviously it is not an arrow! "The German then tried to calm the exchange by answering:" You are a joke ... how are you in Australia? Do you follow all the instructions? "But Kyrgios did not want to take the outstretched hand:" Haha, my brother, I'm fine. But don't pretend you've become my friend! ", He retweeted.
@TheBorisBecker is a bigger donut than I thought. 😂😂 can hit a volley, obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed though.
