Nick Kyrgios' two-word response to dig from Novak Djokovic's coach
Nick Kyrgios has responded to Goran Ivanisevic’s claim he wouldn’t know what to say if he was coach of the controversial Aussie.
Ivanisevic, currently coaching Novak Djokovic, was recently asked for his thoughts on how to curb Kyrgios’ ways.
However the Croatian was bereft of ideas, taking a slight dig at the Aussie.
“A lot of people are asking me this question right now, but I do not know what to say, because I do not even know what I could say to him as a coach,” Ivanisevic said.
“Authority seems to be complicated for Nick to handle. In fact, the only solution that seems to be possible to me is that Nick is coached by Nick.
"Of course, I would really like to see him concentrate and seriously prepare for a Grand Slam tournament to see what he is really capable of doing from first to last point.”

Kyrgios at war with Djokovic
The ugly feud between Kyrgios and Djokovic doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon.
After saying Djokovic had a “sick obsession with being liked” and criticising his “cringeworthy” celebrations, Kyrgios re-ignited the beef last week in a video posted to social media.
In the video, Kyrgios crosses out the word ‘Novak’ on a fan’s shirt, turning to the camera and saying “this is what I think of you.”
But according to Ivanisevic, it’s all very unnecessary.
"They are together all year on the courts, on the tour," Ivanisevic said.
"You can have your preferences, but you don't have to speak about them publicly. The same goes for this story of the victory celebrations.
"If you beat an opponent you don't like, just give him a smile during the handshake, it's enough."
