Hewitt and Coria trade insults after match
SYDNEY: A bitter war of words erupted between Lleyton Hewitt and Guillermo Coria at the Davis Cup on Friday with the pair trading insults and accusing each other of bad sportsmanship.
Coria, who had been increasingly irritated by Hewitt's antics during the match, accused Hewitt of swearing at him and said he wanted to kill the Australian while Hewitt dismissed Coria as arrogant and a bad loser. "I admire his game but I don't like the way he is," Coria told a news conference. "He can be the best player in the world, he can win every tournament but he can not behave the way he does, abusing the captain, abusing the other players. "Lleyton cheers for other people's mistakes and is very aggressive and it's very difficult not to get provoked." "I'd rather not win a single tournament in my life than be like him." Coria said Hewitt's tempestuous on-court behavior had
become a talking point among players on the tennis circuit and it was time the
officials stood up to him.
