Nick Kyrgios accuses Lleyton Hewitt of “throwing me under the bus” after late no-show

Nick Kyrgios has accused Australian tennis star Lleyton Hewitt of “throwing me under the bus” over his late withdrawal from the United Cup.

Kyrgios withdrew from the tournament less than 24 hours before his match against Great Britain's Cameron Norrie. Hewitt is captain of Australia in the mixed-gender team event and was unhappy with the lack of communication he received from the world No.22 ahead of the tournament.

Former world No.1 and two-time Grand Slam winner Hewitt said he 'didn't know what was going on' and he had to wait 'a little while' to receive a response from his fellow Australian.
