“How selfish can you all get?”: Nick Kyrgios
Nick Kyrgios has reacted to the news of Alexander Zverev not following guidelines and has taken to social media to express his displeasure. Referring to the incident, Nick Kyrgios questioned Alexander Zverev on how selfish can one get. In a harshly worded message directed towards Zverev, Nick Kyrgios said "If you have the audacity to put out a tweet that you made your management f***ing write on your behalf saying you're going to self-isolate for 14 days and apologising to the general public for putting their health at risk - at least have the f***ing audacity to stay inside for 14 days. My God." During the end of the video, Nick Kyrgios can be seen suggesting Alexander Zverev that he should isolate with his girlfriend for 14 days. Nick Kyrgios also said that the tennis world was 'pissing' him off.
Alexander Zverev had earlier promised to self-isolate
Over the past few days, several players that had played a part in the Adria Tour have tested positive for the coronavirus.

The player also went on to say that according to the guidelines prescribed by the doctors, the player will isolate and will continue with regular testing.
However, Zverev seems to have gone back on his word within a week of the Djokovic coronavirus situation coming to light.
