Rafael Nadal, Nick Kyrgios advance into Wimbledon men's ... (ESPN)

Rafael Nadal, Nick Kyrgios, Taylor Fitz and Cristian Garin advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals with victories Monday.

The Australian then held two match points at 5-4 in the fifth. The unseeded Chilean trailed 5-3 in the first-to-10 fifth-set tiebreaker before winning six straight points to take a 9-5 lead. Kyrgios also needed five sets to get past Paul Jubb in the first round. That was the end of the Dutchman's resistance, though, as Nadal converted his fourth match point for a 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (6) win on Centre Court. The Spaniard is playing his first grass-court tournament since 2019, when he lost to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon semifinals. I was bouncing the ball before I served; I really just smiled to myself,'' said Kyrgios, owner of a tour-high 11 victories on grass this season. Kyrgios overcame an ailing shoulder and a fourth-set slump to beat 20-year-old American Brandon Nakashima 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-2.

The Nick Kyrgios Show, Also Known as Wimbledon, Gets Another ... (The New York Times)

Kyrgios, the big, talented Australian, has taken over Wimbledon with his antics and psychological warfare. It's working.

He missed seven of eight first serves in the third game of the second set, then missed a forehand on break point, and suddenly Kyrgios had the momentum. The show goes on, and maybe on and on. Nakashima serving at deuce at 1-1 made for a convenient time for Kyrgios to start jawing with the chair umpire. How about three serves in the 75-m.p.h. range, one underhanded, and a forehand on set point so obviously aimed off the court? On serve, midway through, Kyrgios called for the physiotherapist and a medical timeout. And then the numbers on the board tracking the speed of Kyrgios’s serve began to climb, from the 110s into the 120s in miles per hour and upward from there. Serving at a tight moment late in the set, Kyrgios hit 137 and 132 on the radar gun. Midway through the first set against Nakashima, Kyrgios appeared to injure his right upper arm and shoulder while trying to muscle a forehand return of Nakashima’s serve. Unable to swing freely and unable to unleash that nearly 140 m.p.h. serve as he did in his first three matches, Kyrgios stopped chasing and reaching for balls. But the mind can instinctually relax, suggesting to not hit that next forehand so close to the line or so hard because maybe it’s not necessary against a weakened opponent. He knows as well as anyone that tennis is as much a mental fight as a physical one, maybe more so. His regular battles with officials erupt without warning and can reappear throughout the match.

Nick Kyrgios continued his eventful run at Wimbledon with a 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-2) 3-6 6-2 victory against Brandon Nakashima in the fourth round.

The 20-year-old Nakashima, however, was far from done and broke for a 4-3 lead in the fourth. American Nakashima, playing in his first fourth-round match at a grand slam, claimed the first set with the first break point of the match, but Kyrgios, despite clutching his shoulder a number of times, hit back with a break at the start of the second. "I've never lost a five-set match here -- that's what I was thinking about," he said.

(Tsitsipas received a separate $10,000 fine himself during the match for hitting the ball recklessly—including into the crowd—after becoming frustrated with Kyrgios’ on-court antics). Last month, Kyrgios estimated that his total career fines stood at around $800,000. News of the assault charge comes after Kyrgios and his trademark petulant behavior have created a media storm during this year’s Wimbledon. On Monday, he got into a heated exchange with a journalist who asked him why he had deliberately broken a tournament dress code that dictates that players have to wear all-white. The charge is believed to relate to an allegation that Kyrgios, the world No. 40 in ATP rankings, grabbed his former partner, Chiara Passari. A lawyer acting on behalf of Kyrgios confirmed his client was aware of the charge. The irascible player had already been fined $14,000 for two other breaches of tournament rules. A statement from police in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) was shared with local media on Tuesday afternoon. he doesn’t have a comment at this stage, but in the fullness of time we’ll issue a media release.”

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios is set to appear in court next month on charges that he allegedly assaulted a former girlfriend in December 2021.

"It's in the context of a domestic relationship," Jason Moffett told The Canberra Times of the case. 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. Then, in his heavily anticipated Third Round match against Stefanos Tsitsipas, he got out of order with the chair umpire and demanded that his opponent be defaulted.

Nick Kyrgios is driving everyone nuts at Wimbledon (Deadspin)

He is absolutely crushing it (and maybe headed to prison afterward)

The ATP was only too happy to do nothing and using that as cover, to the fury of more than a few players, but they’ll also feel Kyrgios is a much easier target whatever the outcome of the trial. The constant jabbering only infuriated Tsitsipas more, and he spent more than one game more concerned with labeling Kyrgios’s forehead with a ball than trying to win. Combined with Kyrgios talking to himself even during Tsitsipas’s serve and his blistering pace of play, and he certainly had the Greek on edge before the underhand serves. He can tickle the opposite side of the net with most delicate drop shot from anywhere on the court, and treat it like nothing as he gives up the next point with criminal nonchalance. Of course, with Kyrgios everything has its own context, and when he does it it’s seen as him not taking the match or sport seriously. And his run to the quarters (so far) at Wimbledon has been perhaps the most shining example of that in his career.
