Nick Kyrgios did not mince his words as the firebrand Aussie launched an expletive-riddled attack towards Tony Jones over his Novak Djokovic comments.
Jones has been the centre of attention at Melbourne Park with his labelling of Djokovic as a “has-been” and “overrated” landing the Channel Nine presenter in hot water.
Both Jones and Channel Nine have since issued apologies after Djokovic refused to conduct pots-match media but it has done little to calm tensions.
Kyrgios took to Facebook to share a video from Melbourne Park to make some pointed remarks at Jones.
“How the f*** does this guy still have a f***ing job? It is putrid stuff,” he said.
“Tony Jones, you absolute flop. F***ing Chompers mate.”
Kyrgios had already called out Jones on Instagram earlier after sharing a video of Jones’ comments.
“Coming from this clown – couldn’t run around a park this bloke.”
It comes as Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese weighed in on the controversy.
“We need more kindness and generosity and respect. Just across the board. I think that’s what people are looking for,” he told ABC radio.
Jones had already been under fire earlier this week for labelling American Danielle Collins a “brat” after her post-match antics after defeating Australian Destanee Aiava.
