Nick Kyrgios has stuck up for Emma Raducanu after the British teenager came in for criticism for praising his quarter-final display at Wimbledon.
On Wednesday Kyrgios, 27, advanced into the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career when he overcame Cristian Garin in straight-sets. It means a final four clash with Rafael Nadal tomorrow, with the Spaniard battling an abdominal injury following his five-set battle with Taylor Fritz.
The Aussie was at his sublime best against Garin, with the match also void of the controversies which have thus far tainted his run at SW19. And Raducanu, 19, took to Twitter to laud the display, simply writing 'NK' alongside a magician's wand emoji.
