'Disgrace': Kyrgios refuses to play (NEWS.com.au)

Nick Kyrgios refused to play for several minutes in his blockbuster Wimbledon third round clash against Stefanos Tsitsipas after the Greek star hit a ball ...

After the disruption, Kyrgios quickly took control of the third set. “She has one f***ing line to call,” Kyrgios said at the change of ends. Are you dumb?,” he said to the chair umpire. He just hit the ball at the f***ing crowd. Kyrgios had just squared the match at a set-all when Tsitsipas sent a backhanded volley into the audience. So you can hit a ball at the crowd, hit someone and not get defaulted?

The Serbian was trailing 6-5 in the first set of the match when he knocked away a ball he had from his service game – a strike that hit a line judge in the throat. It all kicked off in the second, when a furious Kyrgios called over the supervisor to asks for Tsitsipas to be defaulted as the Greek sent a ball into the crowd in frustration after losing the set.

Nick Kyrgios: "If I had done that, I would have been fined" (Tennis World)

Kyrgios has found a way to spark a new controversy after the match between Alexander Bublik and Frances Tiafoe.

Kyrgios pointed out the difference in treatment that the tennis world gives him when he performs certain plays: "I love what Bublik did, it's different. " After his winning debut on the lawns of the All England Club, Nick wanted to send a message to the British crowd, which provoked him several times during the match against wild card Paul Jubb. I'm just starting to think it's normal when it really isn't. You know, I didn't say anything to the crowd until they started every time I got to the bottom of it.

Tsitsipas had miss-hit a forehand and Kyrgios appeared to know it was going long as he moved the racket behind his back and hit the ball through his legs. “Nick, he is the black sheep of the ATP," Tsitsipas said earlier this year. Kyrgios wasted no time playing up to the crowd when he tried a tweener midway through the fourth game. The Australian also called Kyrgios a 'joke' about his serving. “No, it'll be the towels or the bananas or something,” to which Cotter agreed. Is he wondering where the fans are?”

Nick Kyrgios Wins Tense Clash Against Stefanos Tsitsipas At ... (ATP Tour)

Nick Kyrgios advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time since 2016 on Saturday with a feisty 6-7(2), 6-4, 6-3, victory against fourth seed ...

The Australian let slip his first match point at 6/5 by missing an inside-out forehand wide, and he then saved a Tsitsipas set point at 6/7, which would have forced a decider. After hitting a crisp backhand volley winner to claim the set on the next point, he made a “money” motion with his hand in praise of his own work. The tension began to build at the end of the first set when Kyrgios was unhappy with a linesperson's call on the baseline. Kyrgios saved a break point at 4-4 in the second set thanks to a daring second-serve ace. It was a hell of a match." Kyrgios, who will next play #NextGenATP American Brandon Nakashima, claimed his first win at a major against a Top 10 opponent since the third round of The Championships in 2015.

Nick Kyrgios plays the villain perfectly, but deep down he just wants ... (The Guardian)

The brash Australian is a divisive but definitely modern figure, and the embodiment of sport in the social media age.

But it is also here that Kyrgios is on to something, oddly state-of-the-art in his fraught interactions with the crowd and the angry digital mob. And of course Kyrgios, who seems too porous for his own good, who just can’t stop talking and engaging, who has 2m followers on Instagram and constantly interacts, is deep into it. And Kyrgios did spit on court and harangue a line judge and remains laughably devoid of self-awareness when he bemoans a lack of “respect”. The fact is Wimbledon, in its current recessionary mode, really could do with him going deep in this draw, and not just because he is such a vividly talented player. The soundtrack to that collective consciousness is not the music of the spheres but an endless spawn of enraged avatars saying things like “try crypto now bro” and “wake up sheeple”, a billion voices shouting into the void about grammar and football and celebrities, all of it preserved in the digital eternity like toxic microplastics. Here was a space where the shared human essence could coalesce and commune, a pure shore on which the future would be crafted by gentle, unhurried humans with bulbous green Apple Macintoshes, concerned only with upcycling blogs and really cool typefaces and artisan bagel houses in Prague.

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.

The fourth set headed into a tie break with Kyrgios winning match point with a delicate drop shot, thwarting a fast-incoming Tsitsipas. Kyrgios roared with delight. Kyrgios went on to take the set.

Petulant genius Nick Kyrgios can actually win Wimbledon with Alex ... (Sporting News AU)

Just imagine Nick Kyrgios telling the world how good he is after winning Wimbledon by defeating Novak Djokovic on Sunday.

It might seem ambitious to lay out a path for Kyrgios to win Wimbledon, but he deserves it on what has been seen on his performances at the All England Club so far. Nakashima won't be an easy opponent for Kyrgios in the fourth round, but the American has never reached this stage of a major before and the match will certainly be decided on the form of the Aussie. In his defeat of fourth seed Tsitsipas in the third round, Kyrgios showed incredible resilience to win a match he would have almost certainly lost in recent years. It's always been said that Kyrgios has the potential to win a Grand Slam title, but his best result in majors across the last seven years is only the fourth round, meaning the prophecy of potential glory had almost been given up on by the masses as he reaches 27 years of age. In the first round against British wildcard Paul Jubb, Kyrgios battled his own nerves, fought with the umpire and line judges, spat at the crowd and looked to be on the brink of crashing out at the first hurdle before rallying to get the job done. Despite regular displays of petulance across all his matches, including spitting at the crowd, berating umpires and line judges, arguing non-stop with his support box and even being accused of being a bully by Stefanos Tsitsipas, Kyrgios is now third favourite to win Wimbledon behind Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.

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.

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. The ball appeared to ricochet off a wall, but what wasn’t entirely clear was whether it landed on anyone. … Bro, the people want to see me, not you.” It is the largest of the 22 prize money penalties issued in Week 1.
