The awkward moment Nick Kyrgios missed his name being drawn at Davis Cup
Nick Kyrgios has been photographed looking uninterested in yesterday’s reveal of the Davis Cup Draw, instead choosing to scroll through his phone.
The rest of the Aussie team, including captain Lleyton Hewitt and upcoming star Alex De Minaur, looked on at the event with wide-eyed wonder as their names were drawn out for their upcoming clash against Germany.
However, Kyrgios continued to look at his phone and seemed oblivious to the exciting events unfolding around him.
The 22-year-old athlete will play world no. 58 Jan-Lenard Struff at one of Australia’s two single matches.
Kyrgios is currently in his best form, recently making the 5th round at the Australian Open.
Alex De Minaur will make his Davis Cup debut, competing in the other singles match against the world’s 5th best player Alexander Zverev.
“It's a great opportunity for me and I'm going to leave it all on court,” he said.
“Lleyton told me all about it. It's pretty special to be playing now, it's a dream come true.”
The 18-year-old caught international attention in January in Brisbane after he knocked out 2016 Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic.
In a recent interview, Zverev said he expects his clash with De Minaur to be the first of many.
"He will be great for Australia in the future. I have a lot of respect for him," the German competitor said.
