In one of the most intriguing tennis pairings in recent memory, Nick Kyrgios will team up with Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Citi Open in Washington DC next week.

 They’re two of the most exciting young guns going around, but have had a few public run-ins over the past year or so.
 The pair sniped at each other over social media last summer, before Tsitsipas made some thinly veiled swipes at the Aussie.

“Everybody knows who Kyrgios is, let’s be honest,” Tsitsipas said when asked about his relationship with Kyrgios earlier this year.

“I know some people see these things I do as something weird, writing all these tweets that make no sense.

 “It’s not sitting in my room playing video games,  It’s better going outside and creating something rather than just sitting inside playing video games for the whole day, which I did before and now see no point in doing.”

For his part, Kyrgios tweeted his disdain for Tsitsipas.

Specifically, Kyrgios seemed to take exception to the fact that the Greek youngster is a bit different.

Tsitsipas, who is currently ranked sixth in the world, is an avid vlogger, with almost 160,000 subscribers on YouTube.
