In an entertaining and sometimes absurd Instagram chat, Andy Murray and Nick Kyrgios gave themselves the honor on Saturday evening - the latter quite well tipsy.

Kyrgios did not first speak to his first glass of red wine, "I had about as many as you gave me games at Wimbledon at the time. So about six," said the Australian, who also had his seventh glass after about eight minutes. /

What did he do during the Corona break? Well, his knowledge of red wine and his interest in it have increased enormously, Kyrgios explained. He wouldn't be happy to see too many tennis players at the moment to see them, "you're one of the few," he praised his buddy Murray. Who was asked in the comments to ask if Kyrgios was drunk, "which is pretty obvious." Well, according to Kyrgios, tomorrow he would probably hear that he shouldn't have spoken to him. Murray admitted, "Yes, I was warned:" Kyrgios's advice: "Do the next time with Carreno Busta."

Kyrgios on Thiem: "Looks at color while drying"

Kyrgios had never made a secret of his love for Murray; after all, the Scotsman was one who had protected him again and again despite his misfires . Kyrgios, on the other hand, maintains a rather critical relationship withNadal and Djokovic . Which probably explains some of the theories that Kyrgios gave in chat. Djokovic could not return his serves, "he played dodgeball", so avoid them. Murray, on the other hand, hit Winner. "You are better than Djokovic", hence his conclusion. Murray, however, remained factual. "The results say otherwise."

Murray's documentary was also great, "I had a tear in my eye," said Kyrgios. And Murray should please take part in the upcoming Laver Cup for Team World. Then you have a chance to win. He likes team events, since Australians and British are the same. Did he really think that he and Dominic Thiem would go together? "I'm more interested in a nice cocktail, my buddy Dominic looks at color drying."

Oh, by the way, Murray looks dazzling, Kyrgios was still raving about. "It's so nice to see you. You look so damn good." But now he had to go slowly, he finally explained. Not without a quick summary of the last 14 minutes: "I think I have held up quite well."
