Nick Kyrgios’ bizarre Novak drama spoof | 00:29
Nick Kyrgios has gone after Nine host Tony Jones again, this time mocking him and the Novak Djokovic saga with the help of a tennis star impersonator.

Earlier on Monday, the Aussie star posted a video about Jones while he was on air about the sledges which caused Djokovic to boycott a post-match interview.
Filming from the player terrace towards the Nine broadcast booth, Kyrgios said: “How the f*** does this guy still have a f***ing job? It is putrid stuff.
“Tony Jones, you absolute flop. F***ing Chompers mate.”
He was less directly abusive in a video posted to his Instagram page on Monday night.
The comedy skit saw Kyrgios and a friend both dressed in Djokovic shirts, with Kyrgios pretending to be a journalist.
“That’s what’s making headlines around the globe. Nick Kyrgios, live news,” he says in a reasonably good newsreader voice.
The camera then pans over to impersonator Elliot Loney, seemingly trying to dress as Djokovic while doing an impression of him (with the voice being much closer to correct than the wig).
“Kyrgios, he’s a has-been! Kyrgios, he’s overrated! Kyrgios, kick him out! Ha ha ha!” ‘Djokovic’ says.
“Boy I’m glad he can not hear me, you know, because that would be…”
Kyrgios then responds: “Novak, we’re on live television mate!”
‘Djokovic’ says: “Aww, yeah yeah, of course. Who would be stupid enough to say that on live television?”
Kyrgios finishes: “Yeah. No one.”
Kyrgios and Djokovic have become friends over the last few years, even playing doubles together at the Brisbane International.
Earlier Djokovic “acknowledged” Jones’ apology for the controversial comments.
“Novak acknowledges the apology has been given in public as requested, and is now moving on and focusing on his next match,” a Tennis Australia statement read.
