Nick Kyrgios has attacked Jannik Sinner again. After coming back to the court - for the Brisbane International - 18 months after his last participation in an official tournament, the Australian has talked once again about his Italian rival. The former Wimbledon Championships finalist has launched a dig at the ATP No.1, which has immediately bounced on social media.

The ATP No.1, who has landed in Australia where he will try to defend the first Slam of his career at the Australian Open, has decided to train with Cruz Hewitt, son of Australian tennis legend Lleyton. The 16-year-old - after sharing the Rod Laver Arena with Jannik - has published a post on Instagram.
Kyrgios wasted no time and immediately decided to comment on the photo, writing: "I love you Cruz, but this is not good;" he wrote in a first comment, which was then followed by another even more explicit one, in which he attacked: "Contaminated post," with a syringe as an emoticon.
The 29-year-old's umpteenth attack on the Italian champion, who for his part never responded to his rival's provocations, preferring a deafening silence.

A true obsession for the Australian, who even after losing a few days ago in his debut against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, had found the time to dedicate some time to Sinner. Responding to a user who highlighted the age difference between him and the young Frenchman, the Australian wrote: "At least I haven't failed any anti-doping tests yet."
Will this social feud ever end? Perhaps a clash on the court could definitively solve Nick's problem, always the star Australian able to play in Melbourne after wrist problems shown in Brisbane.
