Tennis icon John McEnroe slams Nick Kyrgios antics as "not good for the sport"

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.
