Nick Kyrgios tipped to beat Bernard Tomic when they meet

The sentiment over the last couple of days is that Nick Kyrgios has overtaken Bernard Tomic as Australia’s next great tennis hope, and in good news for the 19 year old, the money seems to agree.

On the back of his brilliant showing at Wimbledon, online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has priced King Kyrgios as the $1.80 favourite ahead of Tomic at $1.91 for the first time the two Aussies go head to head – whenever that may be.

His newly acquired fame also looks a good bet to see his Twitter account go into meltdown, with $2.10 priced for him to have over 100,000 Twitter followers by the US Open Final. To put that in perspective, he only had 4,000 followers at the Australian Open 6 months ago.

“The way Kyrios has been playing, Bernie may not be too keen to go up against him – our odds say Nick will come out on top.” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
