As we saw earlier in the year, all eyes are on social media when a Grand Slam gets under way. Players and fans become more active and involved in the tennis conversation and right now, it’s #RG15’s moment in the social media sun.

Another extraordinary step in career of @tkokkinakis, who fights his way to 3-6 3-6 6-3 6-4 8-6 win over #Tomic #RG15 pic.twitter.com/FXHw7Jds9p

But the “best” were just too good for our “young Aussie boys”.

Off court, Nick Kyrgios describes his relationship with Jack Sock as a “bromance”. Whether it’s FIFA battles or supporting each other in the stands, this blossoming bond has the whole tennis world talking.

@Gael_Monfils I'll take me and @NickKyrgios vs you and whoever you want in Fifa…name the time and place

— Jack Sock (@JackSock) May 26, 2015

The best things start unexpectedly. Have a safe trip home bro. Miss you already @JackSock #FamilyHustle pic.twitter.com/PZu2en9M25

— Jack Sock (@JackSock) May 30, 2015

Kyrgios’ relationship with Thanasi Kokkinakis, on the other hand, stops at “bruh” and emojis.

@NickKyrgios bruhh 😳

@TKokkinakis bruhhh 😈

But tennis isn’t the only sport our top players love. This week we learned Jarmila Gajdosova is a die-hard Tampa Bay Lightning fan, while Casey Dellacqua and Sam Stosur love a good ol’ State of Origin rivalry.

To prove that it fits!now I am true fan 🙂 go @TBLightning lets make a final!#gobolts pic.twitter.com/SftDSVa3Bh
