Nick Kyrgios hits back after footy great branded him a 'child' and 'the most disappointing Australian athlete ever' Nick Kyrgios has hit back at Kane Cornes after the footy great turned TV commentator slammed him as Australia's most disappointing sport star ever in a savage spray on Thursday.
Nick Kyrgios has returned serve after being on the receiving end of a withering series of insults from footy star turned commentator Kane Cornes.
The tennis maverick was the headline act at the Australian Open until his much-hyped comeback from injury ended with a straight sets, first-round loss to Jacob Fearnley on Monday night.
Cornes - who is known for his outspoken criticism - launched into the star in a withering outburst on breakfast radio.
He sits on his high horse and criticises everyone, be that ball kids, line judges, other opponents.
