Nick Kyrgios has been forced to spend part of his 25th birthday pleading with fans to stop trying to call him after fellow star Stefanos Tsitsipas appeared to give away the tennis bad boy’s phone number in a public Instagram post.
Kyrgios had celebrated turning 25 by posting a series of clips showing him partying on previous birthdays when he ended the montage by imploring people to stop attempting to reach him after rival Tsitsipas seemed to give his number to fans.

Greek world number six Tsitsipas confused many of his following of more than 866,000 by posting a meme of himself holding a cardboard banner above his head, superimposed with the message “call me” and a mystery number written in ink.
Curious fans discovered that the dialing code was located in Kyrgios’s native Australia and began to try it as rumors abounded that the number belonged to the infamously temperamental world number 40, who is characterized by his incendiary mood and frequently bizarre behavior on and off court.
