Nick Kyrgios is back in tennis with another controversy following his ban for throwing a match

NICK KYRGIOS has Trumped his bad-boy reputation with an abusive T-shirt attacking the US president-elect.

The world No14 had to search for a shirt in his bag after his laundry failed to turn up.

And he whipped on a top showing Republican Trump with horns.

Asked to explain his unsubtle choice, Kyrgios said: "It's pretty explanatory."

Kyrgios, 21, is back from a ban after outraging tennis chiefs last October when he threw a match against Germany's Mischa Zverev and taunted angry fans.

But this time his antics were short-lived.

After his obligatory post-match interviews - where there were no video cameras - he returned to the locker room to put on his Nike-sponsored top.
