"I just feel like he has a sick obsession with wanting to be liked. He just wants to be like Roger (Federer)," Kyrgios said at the time.

"For me personally—I don’t care right now, I’ve come this far—I feel like he just wants to be liked so much that I just can’t stand him.

"This whole celebration thing (blowing kisses to the crowd) that he does after matches, it’s so cringeworthy.

“We’re talking about a guy who pulled out of the Australian Open one year because it was too hot."
