Before the final at the All England Club, the duo of Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios has always been cold to each other. However when is mattered the most i.e., during the Serb’s Australian visa debacle, Nick stood by him.
The world no.1 said, “We definitely have a better relationship than what it was probably prior to January this year. But when it was really tough for me in Australia, he was one of the very few players that came out publicly and supported me and stood by me. That’s something I truly appreciate. So I respect him for that a lot.”

Due to this vaccine mandate of the United States of America, Nole might miss out on the American Grand Slam. Center for Disease Control (CDC), regulations require non-U.S. citizens to be fully vaccinated to travel to the United States by plane.
For to his refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine, the Serb previously had to withdraw from Indian Wells. He knows it is unlikely that he will be able to gain entry into the United States. He could not play at Indian Wells, because of strict vaccine laws in the United States.
Nick Kyrgios is the first Australian to play a men’s singles final on the Croquet lawns at the All England Club since Mark Philippoussis in 2003. Before coming on for the match, the Aussie enjoyed a winning record against Djokovic. Having beaten him in Acapulco and Indian Wells in 2017.
