Stefanos Tsitsipas called Nick Kyrgios a 'bully' with a 'wicked side' after losing a heated Wimbledon clash on Saturday.

"He intimidates opponents. He was probably a bully himself at school. I don't like bullies."
He added: "He also has some good traits. But… he also has a very evil side to him, which if exposed can really do a lot of harm and harm to the people who take him. 'surround."
The mercurial Aussie won 6-7 (2/7), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (9/7) in the match, in which both players were cautioned by the referee.
