Temperamental Australian star Nick Kyrgios revealed on Friday he was bitten by a spider over Christmas ahead of his defence of the Brisbane International.
The fiery 23-year-old posted a short video on his Instagram account showing him with what appeared to be a drip in his arm and being treated by medics.
"This spider bite outta contro," a caption to the video said.
He added to his nearly one million followers: "Got a spider bite on my foot. Christmas different every year."
