Coach “King” Kyrgios can’t help Tiafoe at UTS – but gets perfect photo with Mike Tyson

Nick “King” Kyrgios couldn’t help Frances Tiafoe avoid a three quarters to love defeat at the hands of Alexander “The Bublik Enemy” Bublik.

But he did manage to get a great photo with one of the fans in the stands – former boxing champion Mike Tyson.

“He can’t play when Kyrgios is around!”

When quizzed about the advice Kyrgios had imparted, Tiafoe admitted: “Not too much so far!”

But he also said: “It was pretty funny having him on the sidelines – I’m used to having him across the net!”

The Australian tried a spot of trash-talking – heckling Bublik on missing a first serve: “He can’t play when Kyrgios is around!”

He had to confess that he was quite impressed by Bublik‘s performance, though, describing his shot-making in a positive way as “disgusting”.

Tiafoe’s defeat means he won’t be in the Final 4 – and that Kyrgios’s coaching career is on hiatus after one match.
