“Frenemies” Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios will play a practice match before the Australian Open 2023.

According to the organizers of the Australian Open, tennis’ most famous foes will compete against one another on Friday at Rod Laver Arena. Djokovic said last week that he and Kyrgios had talked about playing a practice match, and the Australian wanted shorter sets.
When Kyrgios referred to Djokovic as boneheaded and a tool, the two men’s tennis players were at odds and had a rocky relationship.
