Nick Kyrgios has hilariously flirted with Genie Bouchard after she suggested that quarantine "would be a lot more fun with a boyfriend."
Bouchard, 26, tweeted out the claim on Wednesday amid the coronavirus outbreak and was flooded with messages from fans ready to take up the offer.
The Canadian tennis beaut tweeted: "not complaining, but i [sic] feel like quarantine would be a lot more fun with a boyfriend."
Kyrgios, who has a history with Bouchard on the court, popped up in the replies a day later with a one-worded response: "Creasing."
Bouchard and Kyrgios have played mixed doubles in the past and also shared a close relationship outside of the tennis court.

The 26-year-old Canadian has defended Kyrgios after his explosive exit from the Miami Open last year.
The 24-year-old Australian, who has often been spotlighted for his controversial antics on the court, was knocked out in the fourth round after suffering a defeat to Borna Coric.
But Kyrgios had entered into a heated war of words with a spectator and the umpire, along with smashing a racquet.
Bouchard defended him on Instagram and reiterated the major exposure that he brought to tennis in the States for his actions.
"How is he not good for the sport? He has ESPN talking about tennis," she wrote on social media.

The Canadian tennis player, who finished runner-up at Wimbledon in 2014, also praised Kyrgios in a post-match press conference.
"It was super fun, he's just a really funny guy -- I was laughing like the whole time," Bouchard said.
