The storm erupted when Tomic was overheard during a match with American John Isner on Sunday questioning Kyrgios's absence from the tie. While in conversation with team captain Lleyton Hewitt, television microphones caught Tomic muttering: "Nick's sitting down in Canberra. Bullshit he's sick."
The fiery Kyrgios took to social media to hit back. He initially made a mild acknowledgement that Tomic's criticisms had been in the "heat of the moment, not gonna take it personally, Indian Wells a week away, plenty of time".
But a matter of minutes later fired back: "Just don't expect me to have your back anytime soon."
He then referred to Tomic's infamous record-quick 28-minute loss to Finn Jarkko Nieminen at the Miami Open. "Let's not forget who holds the quickest loss on the ATP tour."
