Defending champion Djokovic faces Thompson on Wednesday, and though the odds will be heavily stacked in the Serbian's favour, his 70th-ranked opponent has an ace up his sleeve, having consulted with Kyrgios ahead of the second-round clash.
Kyrgios, who pulled out of Wimbledon with a wrist injury, is part of an exclusive club of tennis players with a superior head-to-head record against Djokovic, with the Australian's sole defeat to the world number two coming in last year's final at the All England Club.
"Nick's beaten him a couple of times," Thompson told reporters on Monday.
"He played him in the final and it wasn't an easy match. As much as everyone thinks that Nick doesn't have care in the game, he has a big tennis brain, so it'd be silly of me if I didn't try to pick it...
"I know the odds are firmly against me. But yeah, just get out and enjoy it and just have fun. It's not every day you play Novak at Wimbledon. It could be a dream, or could be a nightmare."

An All-Russian clash wraps up the day as top seed Andrey Rublev clashes with compatriot Aslan Karatsev.

Speaking of momentum, French Open semi-finalist Beatriz Haddad Maia faces Yulia Putintseva as the Brazilian has a chance of making history at yet another Grand Slam this year.
