"Thank you my brother" says Nick Kyrgios to Gael Monfils after US Open practice

Kyrgios has never had too many friends on the tour because some of the antics were not well received by many players. However one of his closest friends on the tour has been Gael Monfils with the duo finding common ground on many things including their showmanship and love for basketball.

They even played basketball several times at events where they both attended. Now they played some tennis together as they practice ahead of the US Open and following the practice, Kyrgios left a touching message for Monfils. The Frenchman posted a photo of them after practice and Kyrgios wrote in the comments:

"Thank you, my brother. Your energy makes my day all the time. Always a pleasure good luck and I’m always here for you"

The US Open shared the photo captioning it with 'name a more exciting duo' and we could not agree more. Remains to be seen what type of show they put up as the Flushing Meadows stands will be filled with fans.
