Nick Kyrgios continued his feud with Boris Becker with a low blow about the German\u2019s criminal past. The pair have been feuding on X (formerly known as Twitter) in recent days and their spat took a nasty turn when the Australian brought up Becker\u2019s bankruptcy-related charges. The 56-year-old spent eight months in prison last year after he was found guilty following a trial at Southward Crown Court.<\/p>\n

Kyrgios and Becker are currently embroiled in a spat, which started when the 28-year-old used the six-time Grand Slam champion as an example when claiming that former tennis stars were no match for today\u2019s players. The German hit back by claiming that Kyrgios was making \u201ca lot of noise\u201d when he hadn\u2019t won a Major singles title.<\/p>\n

He has since given a new interview claiming that Kyrgios would not be making a living from tennis were it not for the old champions. And the former world No 13 took their feud to new heights on Tuesday when he referred to Becker\u2019s criminal conviction in response to the comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cUhhh what? I\u2019ve been arguably one of the most watched players outside the big three the last decade? Fans around the world and have brought so many more people to the sport. I\u2019ve created my own stuff off the court,\u201d Kyrgios started.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Wimbledon runner-up took a swipe at Becker as he added: \u201cTry to not hide any more assets x\u201d. The former coach of Novak Djokovic was imprisoned in April last year after he was found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act, having been accused of hiding assets in relation to his bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

Kyrgios also reposted other quotes from Becker\u2019s interview and shared another post, claiming he was the one bringing in more money for his fellow players. The Australian wrote: \u201cBro what. I\u2019ve been one of the FEW PLAYERS that have brought million more fans to the sport and have made more money for everyone. NETFLIX\u2026. Don\u2019t remember seeing Boris on there. Guy is ridiculous. I\u2019ve made my career off the court without the help of the others.\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes after Becker told Eurosport\u2019s Das Gelbe vom Ball podcast: \u201cWe live in a democracy. Everyone can think what he wants. You have to have respect for the past and simply say ‘thank you’ out loud that these old pros existed, because without them the tennis circus would no longer exist.<\/p>\n
