There is no doubt that Kyrgios was among the most talented tennis players in his country, but due to his controversial and unapologetic statements and lack of seriousness towards the game have led to a lot of hate in the Tennis World.

The latest people to criticise him now are two Russian legends Nikolay Davydenko and Elena Vesnina who had some harsh words to say about Nick where Davydenko openly said, "He is generally overrated… When it was time to play, he was always injured. In short, let’s forget about him."

This was some brutal criticism by Davydenko on the Betboom Tennis Russian outlet, but he was also joined by former Doubles World number Elena Vesnina as well who also agreed with him saying, "Clown, I agree. But he was incredibly talented and gifted, He had a powerful serve and a superb forehand. But when it came to winning a major title, all that went up in smoke.” Through these statements, it is safe to say that Kyrgios has a lot to prove when he is back on the court.
