Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has apparently followed through on a promise to help people going hungry in the coronavirus shutdown, with social media images showing boxes of essential items prepped for delivery.

The controversial Kyrgios, infamously outspoken and known for his fiery on-court antics, said on Monday he would personally drop food on doorsteps after COVID-19 restrictions closed down entire industries, forcing huge numbers of people out of work across Australia. People queueing for welfare payments across the country have been likened to scenes from the Great Depression. "Please don't go to sleep with an empty stomach," Kyrgios, the world number 40, posted on Instagram Monday. "Don't be afraid or embarrassed to send me a private message. I will be more than happy to share whatever I have.

"Even just for a box of noodles, a loaf of bread or milk. I will drop it off at your doorstep, no questions asked!" he said in a post that attracted almost 100,000 likes. His mother, Norlaila Kyrgios, posted on Instagram over the weekend a photo of a table laden with food -- including bread, fruit and canned goods -- with the caption "dining room or food distribution centre".

Images of Canberra-based tennis star's Instagram stories shared on News Corp websites showed boxes of essentials captioned "deliveries in progress". It comes just months after the 24-year-old led a bushfire relief campaign that raised millions of dollars. Kyrgios gave Aus$200 (US$125) for every ace he hit across his home tennis summer, which ran until the end of the Australian Open. Other players and Australian Open organisers jumped on board the fundraising drive, also contributing large sums to people affected by the deadly fires.

Former India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar recalled a hilarious incident which ended up with his former teammate Mohammed Kaif getting a new nickname. The Master Blaster was referring to an incident that took place recently in the first match of Road Safety Series against West Indies XI.

Tendulkar stated that Kaif was giving his all in the field despite being 39 and that prompted others to caution him that it is the first match of the tournament and there is still a long way to go.

"We had to tell Kaif to be cautious. We nicknamed him 'bhai sahab, bhai sahab, thoda sambhalke.' It's the first match of the tournament and there are a lot of matches to be played," Tendulkar said in a video uploaded on 100 MB YouTube channel.

"What if you pull a hamstring or something. It (diving and fielding quickly) comes naturally to him. He thinks if you are fit, you continue doing those things. He was a really fit guy. He was an outstanding fielder in team," he added.

Kaif was regarded as one of the finest fielders ever to don the iconic blue jersey. He, along with Yuvraj Singh, marshalled the cover-point area with great aplomb in an era where fielding wasn't Team India's strongest suit.

Despite his incredible fielding skills, Kaif is fondly remembered by almost every Indian cricket fan for his Man of the Match performance in the Natwest Trophy final against England at Lord's in 2002.

MATTHEW LAMBERT AT QUEEN'S CLUB: Nick Kyrgios ruled himself out of a doubles partnership with Andy Murray at Wimbledon but believes his friend will take some beating at Queen's.

Controversial tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios has given a glimpse of his softer side in a hilarious interview with a budding young reporter during the rain affected Queen's Club Championship.

MATTHEW LAMBERT AT QUEEN'S CLUB: Kyrgios gave an interview before the French Open in which he described Djokovic as 'cringeworthy' and said he had a 'sick obsession with being liked'.

MIKE DICKSON AT QUEEN'S: Nick Kyrgios repeatedly insulted umpire Fergus Murphy and suggested that line judges were 'rigging the game' in a petulant first-round display.

MIKE DICKSON AT QUEEN'S CLUB: Kyrgios was fined almost £14,000 on Friday over his unsportsmanlike conduct after outbursts blemished his two matches on Thursday afternoon.

Before Nick Kyrgios, the enfant terrible of Australian tennis was Brydan Klein, who won his first Grand Slam match at 19 and then saw his career implode amidst a series of punishments.

He is about as unpredictable as they come but on his day he can be a handful on the court. But can you name the current world No 43 from when he was a youngster?

The disgraceful lack of coverage of Barty's first round game at Wimbledon  against China's Zheng Saisai was called out as Australia's 'spoilt brat' Kyrgios' game was aired.

Kyrgios's match with compatriot Thompson had been going for two hours before Barty started hers against Zheng Saisai, and the broadcaster stuck with the men's clash rather than switch over.

MATTHEW LAMBERT AT WIMBLEDON: There has been precious little bad blood spilled on the lawns of the All England Club but that could change when Rafael Nadal takes on Nick Kyrgios.

There are some superb match-ups on the fourth day at Wimbledon. British supporters will be cheering on Cameron Norrie on Centre Court against Kei Nishikori.

Despite the 41 places which separate them in the world rankings, this feels like anybody's game in their first meeting since February's fiery clash in Acapulco lit the touch paper for a war of words.

Kyrgios was seen socialising with friends and chatting to girls at Wimbledon's Dog & Fox pub on Wednesday evening, according to a sports commentator on Twitter.

The 24-year-old was spotted at the Dog & Fox Pub in Wimbledon last night until around 11pm just hours ahead of today's game.

Three minutes into the conference, the journalist said 'Nick you played a great match'. Kyrgios turned to face her and his eyes lit up. 'You were at the pub last night,' he said,

It's the second night on the bounce Kyrgios has painted the town red and the controversial Australian didn't appear to be fazed by his Wimbledon exit just hours later.

Keen observers noticed Bouchard - who was eliminated in the first round of the ladies singles - chose to side with Kyrgios during his second round grudge match against Rafael Nadal.

Nick Kyrgios confessed he was aiming to hit Rafael Nadal with the ball during a rally in their bad-tempered second-round Wimbledon encounter, which the Spaniard won in four sets.

Nick Kyrgios crashed out of both the singles and mixed doubles competitions at Wimbledon in the last 24 hours.

The debate about whether Nick Kyrgios is good or bad for tennis will linger at Wimbledon but the man himself will not following defeat in the mixed doubles last night.

The pair lost their mixed doubles game on Friday to opponents Marcus Daniell and Jennifer Brady but Kyrgios seemed more interested in his parnter Krawcyzk, 25,  during the press conference.

EXCLUSIVE: Yesterday, Kyrgios lost in the mixed doubles alongside partner Desirae Krawczyk before he flirted with her in the press conference, saying, 'We've got a club set up, it is going to be outrageous'.

Matthew Syed, who represented Great Britain in table tennis and now works as a journalist, claimed Kyrgios, 24, puts on a carefree public persona to excuse his own shortcomings

Just days after crashing out of Wimbledon in the second round, the 24-year-old posted a picture on his Instagram of himself growing up in Canberra. The tennis star played basketball for the ACT.

The bad boy of tennis can add his latest row to the showreel after he smashed his racket in a strop before refusing to shake the hand of the chair umpire Fergus Murphy.
