"TK has always been one to not be on time, let's be honest," Nick Kyrgios said, as he waited for Thanasi Kokkinakis to join his Instagram Live.

Last week the two Aussies went live on Instagram to talk about what they've been up to during quarantine and the two built their ideal player, a task that has been trending over social platforms.

"I've been hitting up some tap dancing," Kokkinakis said, on what he's been up to during quarantine. "My life hasn't really changed that much, I've been quarantined for about five years now. It's pretty basic for me."

The two traded some jokes and laughter before diving into creating their ideal player. They went back and forth on the serve with Kokkinakis pushing for Kyrgios to name himself, but Kyrgios shut that idea down.

Kyrgios: "No, but I'm being serious. [Ivo] Karlovic's and [John] Isner's are almost aces every time."

Kokkinakis: "Yeah, but your height."

Kyrgios: "Yeah OK, but the best serve is either Isner's or Karlovic's. I'm taking Isner or Karlovic's serve."

Kokkinakis: "Yeah, OK. I agree."

They would discuss all other strokes and abilities, but when it came to mental toughness, they quckly removed themselves as candidates.

"Well, I think that takes us out of the equation pretty quickly," Kokkinakis said.

Kyrgios and Kokkinakis didn't have a solid plan on how to traverse their Instagram Live session, but it made for a more candid and genuine chat.

Kyrgios didn't really elaborate on how he's been quarantining, but did mention that the "TikToks have been wild."

Before wrapping up, they answered some fan question from what age they picked up a racquet to who takes longer in the shower to a request for story from a night out.

"Too many to tell you from," Kyrgios said. "We do have fun."

That's the truth. As the population continues to navigate through a confusing era, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis managed to lift fan spirits with entertaining off-the-cuff content.
