Nick Kyrgios and Lleyton Hewitt’s feud has reignited as Mats Wilander slammed the 27-year-old’s playing style as ‘horrible’. The three-time French Open winner claimed the Australia Davis Cup captain told him young Aussie kids are copying the controversial star on court, which he deemed as ‘horrible’.
While on Eurosport, the 57-year-old shared his conversation with Hewitt and how he believes some of Kyrgios’ antics are influencing children. “It's just a game where you learn a lot about life and educate and rules and these guys are taking it to a complete different level,” the tennis legend said.
"And I do know from Lleyton Hewitt telling me that every kid in Australia basically, is doing what Nick Kyrgios does. I'm not saying they're throwing rackets and whatever, but they hit the ball like Nick Kyrgios and that's kind of bad enough in a way because Nick is so talented, but he doesn't use his feet at all in any of his shots.
