Nick Kyrgios' rehearsal match with Novak Djokovic sells out in 58 minutes
The controversial Australian will play the Serb in a repeat of last year's Wimbledon final in a fundraiser on Rod Laver Arena before the Australian Open.
"Wow, Nick Kyrgios is bad for the sport! Wow, what a disgrace, a national embarrassment!" Kyrgios, 27, tweeted.
"How dare he sell out another stadium, the arrogance."
Tickets for the match on the 14,820-capacity court were priced at 20 Australian dollars (£11.30).
Kyrgios has long divided opinion with his on-court outbursts and antics, which are often displayed alongside huge natural talent and eye-catching trick shots.
Some of his conduct, such as spitting in the direction of a fan at Wimbledon, has resulted in fines, while other episodes have been viewed as humorous exchanges with the crowd.
