Over the weekend, the 16-year-old rising star posted two photos on his Instagram account - one showed him and the current world No. 1 after their practice at Melbourne Park, while the other was a selfie presumably taken five years ago.
The post was captioned with the fire and hourglass not done emojis.
While fans loved the post, Kyrgios wasn't that impressed, writing in the comment section: "Love ya Cruz but this is wild... Thought we were boys (heartbroken emojis)... Cooked post (injection emoji, referring to the Italian's failed doping test."

Kyrgios slammed Sinner's failed doping test as 'disgusting'
After launching numerous attacks on the two-time Grand Slam champion through social media, the Australian did the same when speaking to reporters at the Brisbane International.
In his pre-tournament presser, the 29-year-old used some strong words when sharing how he felt about the Italian and Iga Swiatek failing doping tests
"Two world No.1s both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It's a horrible look. Tennis integrity right now, and everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it, it's awful," the seven-time ATP champion said.
"I'm not going to shut up about it anyway... That's just my honest thoughts."
In Sinner's case, the ITIA determined that he bore no fault or negligence for what happened and didn't get suspended.

On the other side, the ITIA also accepted that Swiatek didn't knowingly or intentionally take a banned substance and she received a symbolic one-month suspension after it was determined that she was at no fault for the failed doping test.
But Kyrgios isn't buying the explanations provided and remains adamant that harsher sanctions should have been imposed.
