Nick Kyrgios called out after defending Emma Raducanu against ... (Daily Express)

DANIELA HANTUCHOVA responded to Nick Kyrgios after he slammed the retired pro for her comments about Emma Raducanu.

Many assumed the comments referred to Hantuchova after her comments relating to the respect Raducanu had in the locker room, and it seems the former world No 5 thought so too as she replied to the Aussie on Tuesday. Everyone is trying to figure out how to play against her," the Amazon Prime Video pundit had said at the time. "Nick please next time, when you make a comment try to at least listen to the entire interview," she wrote. The 19-year-old received criticism after going down to the world No 53, as former pro-turned-pundit Daniela Hantuchova claimed the US Open champion was "losing the respect" of her fellow players on the tour. Daniela Hantuchova has called out Nick Kyrgios for failing to listen to all of her comments about Emma Raducanu after he lept to her defence. It was yet another early loss for the world No 13, who has failed to make it beyond the third round in her five tournaments so far this year.
