Kyrgios, who has been a vocal critic of Sinner, was not happy at seeing the 16-year-old with the Italian. The controversial Aussie has called Sinner's breach of the the sport's anti-doping program 'disgusting' and has gone out of his way to take shots at the Italian at every opportunity.

Sinner tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid in March, but avoided a ban because the ITIA determined he was not to blame. Kyrgios has made numerous social media posts challenging the decision - and was enraged on Monday after seeing Hewitt smiling with Sinner.
Nick Kygios has taken aim at Cruz Hewitt for posting photo with Jannik Sinner.

Kyrgios commented under Cruz's post: 'Love ya Cruz but this is wild', then later adding 'Cooked post' with a needle emoji.
The Aussie firebrand also wrote: 'Thought we were boys' with several broken-heart emojis. Sinner later shared Cruz's photo and posted: 'Thanks for joining, good hit!'. Kyrgios has been slammed for the comments, with tennis fans saying he crossed the line.
