Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic will meet on Friday in an exhibition match at Rod Laver Arena before the Australian Open. Almost 15,000 tickets were sold in just 58 minutes, and the Australian reacted strongly to how the journalist expressed his surprise on Twitter.
Melbourne journalist Luke Dennehy posted a message detailing how quickly tickets had sold out and Kyrgios wanted to show that people love him, even if he is often criticized for his behaviour.
“Wow, Nick Kyrgios is bad for the sport! Wow, what a shame, a national shame! How dare he sell so many tickets, fill the arena? What impudence!” – Nick Kyrgios on Twitter.
Tickets for the match cost 20 Australian dollars and the money raised will go to charity.
