By Syndicated Content Jan 26, 2021 1:57 AM MELBOURNE (Reuters) â Nick Kyrgios has likened Novak Djokovic to NBA player LeBron James in his influence both on and off the court but says he had a duty to call out the world number one when he âlost his wayâ during the COVID-19 pandemic. The maverick Australian called the Serbianâs ill-fated Adria Tour in June âboneheadedâ and described Djokovic as a âtoolâ last week when he wrote to Australian Open organisers asking for the easing of quarantine conditions. âHe is one of our leaders of our sport. Heâs technically our LeBron James in the way he has to be setting an example for all tennis players,â Kyrgios said of the 17-times Grand Slam champion in an interview with CNN.
