They had to be separated, because it risked degenerating quickly.”Wawrinka followed the incident by posting a series of messages on Twitter where he said Kyrgios’ comment was something he “would not say to my worst enemy”.
“To stoop so low is not only unacceptable but also beyond belief,” he wrote. “So disappointing to see a fellow athlete and colleague be so disrespectful in a way I could never even imagine.” Kyrgios’ brother, Christos, further inflamed the situation, making crude remarks about Vekic on radio and Facebook after the incident.“The prick is lucky I wasn’t there or he would have been withdrawing from the next few tournaments,” Christos wrote on Facebook.
