Nick Kyrgios has been criticised for his actions with tennis icon John McEnroe insisting the Australian’s antics are ‘not good for the sport’.
The 27-year-old had enjoyed the best run of form of his career, winning the Citi Open in both singles and doubles while also reaching the Wimbledon final - his first Grand Slam final. The world no.26 went on to lose to Djokovic in an engrossing final as the Serb claimed his 21st Grand Slam title with a 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-3) victory.
Kyrgios carried his grass-court form into the North American hard-court season, triumphing in Washington while also impressing at the Canadian Open. He reached the quarter-finals of the tournament, defeating World No.1 Daniil Medvedev in the process.
