Kyrgios rips into Shelton amid double bounce controversy: "More surprised with the honesty when they do something so blatant"

Ben Shelton hasn't made many headlines for controversy during the start of his career but did opening his grass court campaign.

The American won a crucial point during the Queen's Club Championships in a solid display over J.J Wolf but a very obvious double hit similar to Holger Rune was ruled a one motion.

The umpire explained: "It is my judgement call and it went like that (in one motion)."
