Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic are two of the most controversial tennis players we’ve ever seen, so it’s no real surprise that the two have formed somewhat of a friendship.

And with the two stars set to face each other in the Wimbledon final tomorrow, they’ve gotten particularly chummy.

Kyrgios and Djokovic have been going back and forth on social media for the past few days.

Kyrgios mentioned Djokovic on Instagram and wrote, “We friends now?” This led to Djokovic responding with: “If you are inviting me for a drink or dinner, I accept. P.S. Winner of tomorrow pays.”

In the end, Nick Kyrgios made sure Novak Djokovic knew he wanted to party no matter what happens in the match.

“Deal, let’s go to a nightclub and go nuts,” he said.

Novak Djokovic came into Wimbledon as the favorite to win the event. But for Nick Kyrgios, it’s been something of a triumph for him to get here.

The always-fiery Australian star was gifted a walkover into the championship match after Rafael Nadal was forced to retire from their semifinal match due to a ruptured abdominal muscle.

Regardless of what the outcome ends up being, tomorrow’s match should be a whole lot of fun. And regardless of the outcome, Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic will be clubbing in England afterwards.
