Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has reignited his fight with six-time grand slam winner Boris Becker with a scathing attack on social media.<br /><br />The 25-year-old posted a throwback photo to his time playing with Team World in the Laver Cup on Wednesday, sparking the German legend to rile his up.<br /><br />Kyrgios captioned the post 'different breed', before Becker commented 'in your dreams'.<br />The world number 42 bounced back at the 52-year-old, commenting that Becker was 'hating like a little groupie'.<br />Lingering around like a bad smell, maybe hoping to get more likes and follows. Unfortunately never be as influential,' Kyrgios wrote.<br /><br />He wasn't finished on Instagram, with Kyrgios blasting Becker again on Twitter on Thursday morning.<br /><br />'He’s gone from wanting to coach me, obviously for his desperate need of a pay check, to hating on my Instagram. Strange world we live in,' Kyrgios posted.<br />Becker went bankrupt in 2017, with Kyrgios saying 'nope' to his offer to coach him in 2019.<br /><br />The pair have endured a consistent online feud in 2020, as Kyrgios has been outspoken of tennis stars and their behaviour amid the coronavirus pandemic.<br /><br />He famously called rival player Alex Zverev 'selfish' after footage emerged of the world number seven breaching social distancing to go dancing in a club in Monte Carlo.<br />The incident sparked Becker to label Kyrgios a 'rat'.<br /><br />'Don’t like no #rats ! Anybody telling off fellow sportsman/woman is no friend of mine! Look yourself in the mirror and think your better than us,' Becker tweeted. <br /><br />'Boris Becker is a bigger doughnut than I thought,' Kyrgios replied. 'Can hit a volley, obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed though.'<br /><br />Kyrgios continued to tweet through the US Open, which he elected not to play in like several other top ranking players due to concerns relating to COVID-19.<br /><br />He was critical of Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta, who reached the semi finals in New York, sparking Becker to take aim at the young Aussie. <br /><br />'Nick Kyrgios should really shut up,' Becker told Eurosport. <br /><br />'He has become a loudspeaker, criticizes other players and doesn't do anything himself. I don't know athletes like that.'<br /><br /><br />
