"Weak a** reply" - Nick Kyrgios ridicules Zizou Bergs as he claps back at Reilly Opelka's brutal roast of his 'moonwalk' celebration at Paris Masters

Reilly Opelka found support from fellow tennis pro Nick Kyrgios after the American slammed Zizou Bergs for his post-game gesture in the first round win at the Paris Masters.After Bergs surprisingly defeated Alex Michelsen in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, the Belgian tennis star turned towards the crowd and executed a moonwalk near the baseline. On the other side of the court, Michelsen was quite livid with himself as he smashed his racquet on the court. Coming into the game, Bergs was an underdog against Michelsen, but despite that, the Belgian walked away with an easy win.Opelka commented on Bergs' celebratory moonwalk, saying he'd rather lose a game than do something like that."I'd rather lose 6-2 in the third than win 6-2 in the third and moonwalk," Opelka commented under an Instagram post of the video.Bergs hit back, trying to take a dig at Opelka, who had to play qualifiers to get to the main draw. Bergs wrote:"I rather play than not play in the Q's."Kyrgios commented on the to and fro from both players. He called out Bergs for his comment, saying:"Weak a*s reply 🤣 opelka has made finals of master events - before wrist surgery was going deep pretty much all the time 🤷🏽‍♂️ real ones know."With the comment, Kyrgios is reminding Bergs that Reilly Opelka was a top-tier player before injuries (especially his wrist surgery). For those unversed, Opelka made the finals of the 2021 Toronto Masters.Meanwhile, at the Paris Masters, Opelka's spirited run has come to an end after taking a loss against Corentin Moutet in the Round of 64. On the other hand, Bergs is getting ready to face second seed Jannik Sinner in the Round of 32.Zizou Bergs defeated Reilly Opelka at Libéma OpenThe reason behind Zizou Bergs' standing tall against Reilly Opelka might have to do with his convincing win against the American in their previous encounter. Bergs stood tall against Opelka's serve at the 2025 Libéma Open, defeating the American in the semifinal, 6-1, 6-4.“There is not much to do against Reilly except keep the pressure high, make sure you return those serves and somehow I saw the ball really big today, like a balloon,” Bergs said after the game via ATP Tour.Before the semifinal encounter, Opelka had defeated top seed Daniil Medvedev to reach the semis.
