Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic chases 21st Grand Slam & Nick Kyrgios seeks first
Djokovic and Kyrgios have moved beyond an initially spiky relationship, with Kyrgios describing the pair as having "a bit of a bromance now".
Djokovic, who has been limited in which tournaments he can compete in because he has not been vaccinated, got in touch with Kyrgios to thank him for his support. An amused Djokovic responded: "I don't know if I can call it a bromance yet, but we definitely have a better relationship than what it was probably prior to January this year.
Djokovic, who is two titles behind Rafael Nadal's men's record of 22 majors, will be wary of which Kyrgios will show up to the match and with how much freedom he may play. "He knows that he's one of the only guys that can do it. That's what he'll take into this match. He plays better with that mindset of, 'yes, underdog, but I'm better. I can beat you and I know you're rattled by me'. That's exactly the mindset that I think he'll bring."
