Nick Kyrgios says he didn't know that Novak Djokovic was allegedly poisoned in Australia three years ago but the 29-year-old backed the Serb's claims by stating that Australia treated him in a very bad way.

Nick Kyrgios has reiterated his support of Novak Djokovic in light of the 24-time grand slam champion's recent claims he was "poisoned" while in hotel quarantine.

Nick Kyrgios has been struck down by yet another injury on the eve of his return to grand slam tennis. The Australian former world No.13 was due to play Novak Djokovic in an exhibition match on Thursday, in the lead-up to his first Australian Open since 2022, but has withdrawn due to an abdominal injury.

Novak Djokovic says he wants to "focus on tennis" after claiming in a magazine interview he had been "poisoned" when detained in a Melbourne hotel.

The Serbian alleged in an interview that food he was served in Melbourne led to him having high levels of lead and mercury.

Known to be a good friend of the Serbian ace, Australia's Nick Kyrgios supported Novak Djokovic’s allegations during a press conference.

Novak Djokovic has revealed his father is putting pressure on him to retire from tennis as the 2025 Australian Open rapidly approaches. The Serb, who failed to win a major in 2024, will be hoping to secure glory Down Under - having previously done so on 10 occasions over the years.
