After Kyrgios called Djokovic a 'tool' in 2021 following his complaints regarding lockdown hotels on the ATP tour, the relationship between the pair has been repaired, with it seeming like they are now good friends.
The improvement in relationship occurred after Kyrgios supported Djokovic's quest to get a visa for Australian Open 2022, while it continued to flourish as the duo fought each other in the Wimbledon 2022 final.
Just prior to the recent New Year, Kyrgios used his Instagram to hint that he and Djokovic could play doubles together in the future.
"I wasn’t his favourite guy - let’s take it that way - for many years," Djokovic said of the relationship with Kyrgios.
"But he was one of the very few that stood by me last year, and I respect that and appreciate that.
"In those moments you can actually see who truly supports you and who is by your side and who goes with the flow of the society and the pressures that media puts on you.
"He was giving undivided support in the moments where I was being challenged a lot, and him as an Australian, I respected that a lot.
"Since then, our relationship has changed for the better."
