Injury and expletives as Kyrgios exits

gotten worse. It’s **** ing terrible. By this stage, it’s **** ed. It feels like dogs***, mate. Absolute dogs***,” he told the trainer.
Following the loss Kyrgios showed tepid support for under siege Aussie Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt while also announcing he is not upset that Bernard Tomic declared he has rift between himself and Hewitt, Kyrgios replied: “Not really.”
When asked about Tomic’s declaration that Kyrgios doesn’t want to play for Hewitt, Kyrgios was again unconvincing in his support of Hewitt. “I don’t know what to say,” he said. “I don’t have a big deal with anything. I always want to play Davis Cup. I love playing Davis Cup.”
He said he is not “upset” towards Tomic for dropping his name.
When asked if he supports Hewitt’s captaincy continuing, Kyrgios said with a bored shrug of his shoulders: “Sure.”
Kyrgios also said he will make himself available for the next Davis Cup tie, but conceded he may not be picked after his rankings slide.
“I don’t think I’d be picked though,” he said.
“There’s a lot of good players right now. Alex de Minaur, [John] Millman, they’re all playing great.
“There’s a lot of depth which is pretty good for us.”
Having been unable to defend his ATP Tour Rankings points from his fourth round appearance at last year’s Open, Kyrgios is expected to slide outside the top 70.
