Kyrgios

Nick Kyrgios has never had a dull match, and part of that is by design. The ever-passionate Australian defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas at Wimbledon on Saturday, ...

Tsitsipas was highly critical of Kyrgios after the match, and he pulled no punches in talking about Kyrgios' demeanor. He will look to match his career best in a singles Grand Slam with a quarterfinal appearance. Kyrgios said the Tsitsipas hit was similar. I have never finished the match and not given my hand to the opponent simply because of his performance." The U.S. Open default that Kyrgios referenced occurred in 2020. I'm not playing until we get to the bottom of it."

Nick Kyrgios inserted himself deep into Stefanos Tsitsipas's psyche and eventually emerged as a victor, winning 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-3 7-6 (7) to reach the ...

At 3-1, 40-0 Kyrgios threw in an underarm serve, which Tsitsipas responded to by sprinting up to the ball and slapping it at the back fence. He sent a backhand into the lower section of the crowd, just below his player’s box, and he was extremely fortunate not to strike anyone. “You can’t hit a ball into the crowd, and hit someone, and not get defaulted,” he said. When Kyrgios double faulted at 1-1 in the tie-break, Tsitsipas was ready and breezed through it to take the set. Throughout the first set, Kyrgios was clearly the better player, breezing through his own service games while putting Tsitsipas under immense pressure on his own. But it sure is difficult to talk only about tennis with all of the drama that surrounds him.

On Saturday afternoon, tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios stepped on the court for a third round match against No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas at Wimbledon.

"It was just kind of a reminder to put you all back in your place." After going down one set, Kyrgios won the second and third sets. However, his short temper and on-court antics seemingly always get in the way of his ability to win.

The Australian won a heated match marked by controversy against Stefanos Tsitsipas to advance to the fourth round.

No one is really going to talk about the tennis, and in some ways, he played a really wonderful match Saturday. Still, Kyrgios should win that match, and then, he’s in the final eight, and then, who knows? For as much as we talk about him, this is a player who is not among the top 32 players in the world, at least by ranking, but everyone recognizes the absurd amount of talent he has. Tsitsipas is his own guy and this is not his thing—he doesn’t do confrontation, he doesn't do histrionics. You can’t hit a ball into the crowd and hit someone and not get defaulted.” It’s not that he’s just good for “entertainment.” This isn’t someone who is the “villain of tennis.” This is someone who, in many ways, is quite likable and he is doing it like no one else. Then, 10 minutes later, he is rifling the ball at Kyrgios multiple times and got penalized for it. Some of it is, the more you see him and the more you are around him, the more you know this is not someone with bad intent—this is someone who has some mental health challenges, which he has openly talked about and shared. One of the ball abuse violations was after Tsitsipas dropped the second set and he launched a ball into the stands, narrowly missing a spectator—a move that led Kyrgios to have, um, words with Dumusois. Rafael Nadal was playing at the same time as Kyrgios and Tsitsipas on Saturday. This is someone who has won the past two Slams, and he’s trying to win the third straight Slam to keep the Calendar Slam chase alive and add on to the 22 major titles he already has. This looked like the ball narrowly missed the fan, and the chair umpire clearly didn’t see it. I am watching Court 1 right now and the match ended, what, 11 minutes ago, and Kyrgios is still on the court signing autographs and taking selfies with every single fan at the edge of the court.

Greek fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas labelled Nick Kyrgios a "bully" with "an evil side" to his character after losing a bad-tempered Wimbledon third-round ...

Maybe he should figure out how to beat me a couple more times first," the Australian said. "I would be pretty upset if I lost to someone two weeks in a row. I really hope all us players can come up with something and make this a cleaner version of our sport, have this kind of behaviour not accepted, not allowed, not tolerated." "I wish we could all come together and put a rule in place. "I don't like people that put other people down. The 23-year-old Tsitsipas was booed by the crowd at one stage after losing his composure in what he described as a Kyrgios circus.

There's never been any doubt about Nick Kyrgios' talent and athletic ability on the tennis court.

And off the court, it’s a different story altogether.” So I’m just going to rest and recover and do everything right and hopefully I can just keep going on.” “And the media loves to write that I’m bad for the sport, but clearly not.” “I don’t really play a full schedule of tennis, to be honest, and I’m able to put in some great performances like this. I know that you all think that you can play but it’s very frustrating and I have the ultimate respect for him. He’s never been past the quarterfinals at a major and his last such appearance was at Wimbledon in 2015.

Nick Kyrgios cursed at the Wimbledon chair umpire. He demanded to see a Grand Slam supervisor after questioning why Stefanos Tsitsipas didn't forfeit.

They will get another chance to see Kyrgios on Monday, when he faces Brandon Nakashima for a spot in the quarterfinals. In 2019, he was placed on a six-month probation by the ATP Tour after being fined $113,000 for eight infractions at a tournament. Sonego didn't like that Nadal beckoned him to talk at the net about it. The ball appeared to ricochet off a wall, but what wasn’t entirely clear was whether it landed on anyone. He was the one who hit a spectator. “He was the one hitting balls at me. In 2016, he was suspended by the ATP for not trying to win and for insulting fans during the Shanghai Masters. At the folks seated in his guest box? “He was probably a bully at school himself. He bullies the opponents,” said Tsitsipas, the 2021 French Open runner-up, who also lost to Kyrgios on grass at a tournament in Halle, Germany, last month. He demanded to see a Grand Slam supervisor after questioning why his opponent, Stefanos Tsitsipas, didn't forfeit their ever-contentious, never-boring match for angrily hitting a ball into the stands after dropping the second set. I’m not playing until we get to the bottom of this.”

Stefanos Tsitsipas said Nick Kyrgios has an "evil side" to his character after losing to the Australian in a feisty match at Wimbledon on Saturday.

Maybe he should figure out how to beat me a couple more times first," the Australian added. He was the one hitting balls at me, he was the one that hit a spectator, he was the one that smacked it out of the stadium," Kyrgios told reporters after progressing to the round of 16. I really hope all us players can come up with something and make this a cleaner version of our sport, have this kind of behavior not accepted, not allowed, not tolerated." "That's his way of manipulating the opponent and making you feel distracted, in a way. "I don't like people that put other people down. "I'm not used to playing this way," he said.

I'm not going out there to be his friend," said Kyrgios, who insists he is one of the most popular players in the locker room. Everything I did worked. "I was just going out there and competing at Wimbledon, and I did it. After the first round at Wimbledon on Tuesday, he was another $10,000 worse off for describing a line judge as a "snitch" and for admitting spitting in the direction of fans. He has a winning record against four of the top five in the world. The Greek fell into the Kyrgios trap, blinked first and after three hours and 17 minutes, he was out of the tournament.

Nadal is known to be one of the game’s true gentlemen, a keeper of the unspoken codes between players. He was the one that smacked it out of the stadium.” “I think everyone has to go to bed with being calm with the things that you have done,” Nadal said. It would be the ultimate hero-villain confrontation, a perfect setting for all manner of potential Kyrgios explosions and boorishness, but also, as that Twitter feed put it, unmissable theater. Kyrgios is of Greek and Malay descent, and his father painted houses for a living. The nearly endless complaints and interruptions rattled Tsitsipas. He struggled to maintain his composure, complaining to the chair umpire that only one person on the court was interested in playing tennis, while the other was turning the match into a circus. “We’re not cut from the same cloth,” he said of Tsitsipas. “I go up against guys who are true competitors. Then, he added, “When I feel like other people disrespect me and don’t respect what I’m doing from the other side of the court, it’s absolute normal from my side to act and do something about it.” He is the ticking time bomb who packs stadiums and has hordes of young fans. One ricocheted off the ground and very nearly crashed into the face of a ball boy at a tournament in California this year. He puts on the sort of magical shotmaking clinic — shots between the legs, curling forehands, underhanded aces — that other players can only dream about. As Wimbledon heads into its second week, the women’s tournament is wide open and there is potential for a men’s final of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, which looks more inevitable each day.

What happens on the court stays on the court,” the Aussie said after his sometimes-entertaining, often-excruciating third-round win over the Greek.
