Insolite - Vesnina on Kyrgios: "He's a clown".

In an exchange with our Russian colleagues at BetBoom Tennis, former world No. 13 Elena Vesnina was asked about the unpredictable and enigmatic Nick Kyrgios.

Not exactly tender-hearted, she explained: "He's a clown, I agree. But he was incredibly talented and gifted.

He had a powerful serve and a superb forehand. But when it came to winning a major title, all that went up in smoke, straight away."
