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?

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.

Serving at 0-3 down in the fourth set, Bublik resorted to an underarm serve six times over the span of one service game. It is certainly a unique thing to see, especially since underarm serves are used typically as a surprise or as a change-up, rather than a true secondary form of service. One of the moves in his repertoire is the underarm serve, a part of the game which is extremely contentious amongst fans of the sport.

OPINION: People want to watch Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon for the same reason they'll look at car crashes on the side of a road.

But it showed Kyrgios has the potential to change what sort of person he is on court. He’s played the victim at Wimbledon, but has brought it on himself with his petulant attitude and it’s stopped him becoming the player he could have been. It was part of the show to yell out ‘you cannot be serious’ and the crowds loved it. A beautiful mind crunching all the player stats. They can just say something and they film it and then they laugh about it. “Between serves [they were] geeing the crowd up and getting them to cheer at times like that.

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?”

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."

With his blood boiling, Tsitsipas drilled a close-range smash straight at Kyrgios in the next game, missing him and the court as the atmosphere turned toxic. Kyrgios ranted that Tsitsipas should have been defaulted, called the umpire "a disgrace" and called for a supervisor. Tsitsipas remained focussed on the job to win the tiebreak and had a massive chance to seize control at 4-4 in the second set when Kyrgios let slip a 40-0 lead with two terrible drop shots, but saved a break point with a second-serve ace. First Kyrgios was warned for an audible obscenity after being reported by a line judge, but responded to break the Tsitsipas serve after the Greek failed to put away a smash.

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.

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.

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.

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.
