Tsitsipas delivers birthday prank on Kyrgios
Stefanos Tsitsipas sent his sometime doubles partner Nick Kyrgios an unwelcome gift through Instagram on Monday.
The sixth-ranked Greek posted a picture of himself standing outside and supporting a home-made cardboard sign with a telephone number and the words "call me" scrawled onto it.
Fans who excitedly rang it convinced that it was the Greek star's number, found that the phone was turned off and quickly worked out that the number was Australian and associated with Kyrgios, who was simply celebrating his 25th birthday on Monday.
That was confirmed when Kyrgios himself replied.
"You are a complete i****" he posted, using stars going back four letters and adding, after some laughing emoticons, "everyone stop calling me!!!!!"
Among the other comments asked Tsitsipas: "Someone has to get a new contact number, is he pleased with your birthday gift?"
Kyrgios had earlier posted a video of himself celebrating his birthday, saying "25 feels good" and drinking straight from a wine.
