The former couple were pictured on Twitter attending an NBA match with fellow tennis star Kalinskaya wearing an LA Lakers jersey and the Australian donning a Boston Celtics shirt.

The post was in response to a poll the Aussie posted, asking who would win Sunday night’s US Open final between Sinner and Taylor Fritz.

Kyrgios commented beneath the picture: “Second serve.”

That led to a fiery response by fans who stormed social media to give the outspoken Aussie a piece of their mind.

One fan tweeted: “Disgusting.”

Another commented: “So unnecessary..”

A third wrote: “Cheap shot.”

This one said: “He’s being petty now.”

And that one added: “Shameless.”

Kyrgios caught wind of the angry reaction and offered his side on the comments’ section.

Kyrgios responded: “Right… so I’m the one that’s the bad guy for saying something about it? I never brought it up lol don’t take offence if people are gonna bring it up. Simple.”

A Twitter user then claimed he used “abusive” language and disrespectful behaviour.

Kyrgios denied it with the following reply: “Abusive? What’s abusive about what I said? I had no intention to say anything about it. People wanna go there deal with the consequences.”

However, he has since deleted the original message after the backlash.
