Nick Kyrgios appears to have burnt his Davis Cup bridges by having a second dig at Australian captain Lleyton Hewitt.
Kyrgios declined to back Bernard Tomic’s criticism of the tennis great during a press conference on Tuesday. But then he decided social media was a better place to make his feelings known.
On Wednesday night, Kyrgios posted a screenshot on Instagram of Hewitt doing television sideline commentary from young Aussie tennis star Alex de Minaur’s players’ box during his second round win.
Kyrgios posted a poll to his followers, asking whose match Hewitt was watching.
He provided two options: “Demon” and “No one else”. (Demon is Alex de Minaur’s nickname.)
