Nick Kyrgios

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.

Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas are putting on a show in the third round of Wimbledon Saturday.

And in typical Nick Kyrgios fashion - the sports' incredibly talented villain let officials and his opponent know about it. "This Kyrgios vs Tsitsipas game is easily the most entertaining game of tennis I’ve ever watched." The Tennis World Is Loving The Nick Kyrgios, Stefanos Tsitsipas Match

Nick Kyrgios was left infuriated with the umpire during his third-round game with Stefanos Tsitsipas at Wimbledon.

‘Why don’t you just get a new ref? You’re supposed to make the right call. ‘So, what you just say “sorry” and it’s all good?

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 ...

I'm not playing until we get to the bottom of it" before continuing his rant. Djokovic is a petulant idiot. Here's some footage of the clash. It was in a clash that saw the Australian call a line judge a ‘snitch'. 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.

Cotter also believes that should he defeat Tsitsipas, Kyrgios could enjoy a very successful Wimbledon.“The draw is really opening up for a lot of players on ...

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?”

No tennis fan will forget the moment when Novak Djokovic, in both a moment of frustration and nonchalance, hit a tennis ball that struck an on-court ...

They would head to a tiebreak, and at 4-4, after eight consecutive points won on serve, Kyrgios earned the first mini-break. To Tsitsipas' great credit, he competed in the fourth set as if nothing had distracted him from playing air-tight tennis. If you thought Kyrgios took that decision in stride, I have a bridge to sell you. Badosa; Nadal vs. Tsitsipas; Kvitova vs. Sinner; Djokovic vs.

It appeared to narrowly miss a spectator in the crowd. The rules state “abuse of balls is defined as intentionally hitting a ball out of the enclosure of the court, hitting a ball dangerously or recklessly within the The Grand Slam Rulebook explains that should “not violently, dangerously or with anger hit, kick or throw a tennis ball within the precincts of the tournament site except in the reasonable pursuit of a point during a match”.

Combative Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios beat Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (7) in a wild third-round match at Wimbledon.

Kyrgios fell in the first set despite going up 3-1, losing in a tie-break and complaining about missed calls by the line judge. He then began repeatedly targeting the Australian with the ball, hitting him three times in a span of five minutes. "Whatever happens on the court, I love him," Kyrgios said.

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.

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.

Grâce à un dernier amorti bien touché, l'Australien se qualifie pour les huitièmes de finale.

WIMBLEDON - Nick Kyrgios a réclamé la disqualification de Stefanos Tsitsipas pendant le match du 3e tour entre les deux hommes. Ça chauffe !

Opposé ce samedi soir au joueur grec, au troisième tour de Wimbledon, le tempétueux Australien a demandé à l'arbitre de chaise la disqualification de son ...

Avant d’ajouter : « Tu ne peux pas balancer une balle dans le public, toucher quelqu’un et ne pas être disqualifié. La quantité de merde que le tournoi va prendre après ma conférence de presse à cause de toi ». Une péripétie qui n’est pas sans rappeler celle vécue par Novak Djokovic à l’US Open 2020 où le Serbe avait été exclu dès le 3e tour après avoir envoyé une balle sur une arbitre, sous le coup de la colère. Il n’en fallait pas plus pour déclencher le courroux de Kyrgios qui s’en est pris vigoureusement à l’arbitre français de la rencontre, Damien Dumusois. « C’est une disqualification ! T’es débile ou quoi ? Tu peux balancer une balle sur le public, toucher quelqu’un et ne pas être disqualifié ? Maintenant, il faut que quelqu’un soit blessé ? Tu es une honte », a vociféré l’Australien. Nick Kyrgios fidèle à lui-même. Le fantasque australien s’est, une nouvelle fois, fait remarquer, ce samedi lors du 3e tour de Wimbledon, où il était opposé au Grec Stefanos Tsitsipas, qu’il a fini par vaincre en 4 sets (6-7, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6). Dans le deuxième set, ce dernier envoie puissamment une balle dans les tribunes du court numéro 1, touchant, sans dommage, une personne dans le public.

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.'' Kyrgios, a 27-year-old from Australia, converted his second match point with a drop shot, then roared. There even was some terrific tennis along the way, with the players combining for 118 winners. ... I'm not playing until we get to the bottom of this.'' There were much more antics and words.

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."

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.

«Il y a de la frustration derrière ça, c'est sûr. Je ne suis pas habitué à jouer de cette façon. Mais je ne peux pas rester assis là, agir comme un robot et agir comme quelqu'un qui est complètement froid et ignorant. Il a fait ensuite son mea culpa en conférence de presse. Il a ensuite volontairement allumé son adversaire à plusieurs reprises. Kyrgios a demandé l'intervention du superviseur à l'arbitre et a fait pression pour que le Grec soit disqualifié : « C'est la disqualification. On ne peut balancer une balle sur le public et toucher quelqu'un sans être disqualifé. Il faut que quelqu'un soit blessé. C'est une honte.» Nick Kyrgios a encore fait parler son génie pour éliminer le Grec Stefanos Tsitsipas samedi au 3e tour de Wimbledon au terme d'un match électrique remporté 6-7 (2/7), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (9/7). Le plus beau de la quinzaine pour le moment.

Nick Kyrgios knocked out fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in a dramatic and controversial showdown on a raucous No 1 Court on Saturday night.

It was a hell of a match. Available to download now on - iPhone & iPad and Android "He has some good traits in his character, as well.

Australian maverick Nick Kyrgios knocked out fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in a wild and wonderful Wimbledon third-round slugfest that threatened to spiral out of control on Saturday; Rafael Nadal advanced to the fourth round with a rather more straight-forward win

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.

WIMBLEDON - Et si c'était le plus beau match de la quinzaine ? Nick Kyrgios et Stefanos Tsitsipas ont livré un combat de haute volée, remporté par ...

En tout, l'Australien, particulièrement impressionnant et puissant en fond de court, a sauvé les cinq obtenues par son adversaire. Lors de la première partie de cette rencontre, l'Australien n'avait déjà pas cessé de faire des siennes, demandant même l'arrivée du superviseur. Ce "simple" warning, finalement reçu, ajouté à un deuxième reçu dans le troisième set a valu au Grec un point de pénalité avant d'entamer le sixième jeu, alors que Nick Kyrgios menait 4-1.

Nick Kyrgios est venu à bout samedi du Grec Stefanos Tsitsipas en quatre sets (6-7 [2], 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 [7]) au 3e tour de Wimbledon.

Sur sa deuxième balle de match, l'Australien conclut sur une amortie. Le Grec se procure une deuxième balle de set, mais fait le mauvais choix sur un passing que Kyrgios transforme en volée amortie. Avantage Tsitsipas au service, et retour de Kyrgios jugé out par le juge de ligne.

Stefanos Tsitsipas s'y attendait, mais il est quand même tombé dans le piège de Nick Kyrgios qui a transformé le court numéro 1 du vénérable club de ...

« C’est lui qui m’a envoyé des balles dessus, c’est lui qui a lancé une balle sur un spectateur, c’est lui qui a jeté une balle hors du court. Il était probablement lui-même une brute à l’école. Je n’aime pas les brutes », a insisté Tsitsipas en conférence de presse. Le Grec a reçu un premier avertissement pour avoir frappé une balle dans le public entre deux points. « T’es débile ou quoi ? […] Tu es une honte » a-t-il lancé plusieurs fois à M. Dumousois qui est resté stoïque mais lui a donné un avertissement pour propos déplacés. Second avertissement et point de pénalité pour le Grec. « C’était un match de dingue, dans une ambiance extraordinaire.

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.

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. At the folks seated in his guest box? … I’m not playing until we get to the bottom of this.”

Australian bad boy infuriates Tsitsipas, wins in four sets to reach round of 16.

He was the one hitting balls at me, he was the one that hit a spectator. Tsitsipas had actually gone so far as suggesting players should band together to do something about Kyrgios. “I wish we could all come together and put a rule in place. (From my vantage point, it appeared the fan had caught the ball on a bounce, but hard to say for sure.) He bullies the opponents. “There comes a point where you really get tired of it, let’s say,” the 21-year-old from Greece told reporters. “I cannot just sit there, act like a robot, act like someone who is completely cold and ignorant. Weirdly, it was Tsitsipas who drew a point deduction for finally snapping in anger over an underarm serve in the third set. He is unseeded here because he hasn’t racked up enough ranking points on the season. Yet here he is, into the round of 16 at Wimbledon, and he might very well win this sucker. “Cretinous,” a columnist described him in print the other day. “I couldn’t care less if there is an investigation,” he said following his opening match, when he spit at a harassing spectator. In his third round match, Kyrgios’s trademark antics discernibly wore away at the patience and focus of Stefanos Tsitsipas, while his mouth-watering talent somehow overcame a crazy 2-for-14 break point stats line and 21-14 aces eclipse.

Nick Kyrgios, critiqué pour son attitude par Stefanos Tsitsipas, a estimé qu'il n'avait rien fait pour provoquer son adversaire.

Dans le passé, je n'ai pas été en mesure de produire mon meilleur tennis de manière constante, mais j'ai bien joué contre Tsitsipas. » Je suis l'un des joueurs le plus apprécié dans le vestiaire. Je serais en colère si j'avais perdu deux fois de suite contre un adversaire.

"J'ai joué contre les 10 meilleurs joueurs de tennis et je les ai fait paraître assez normaux", a dit l'Australien Kyrgios.

Je dois me concentrer sur les premiers tours, et m’assurer de le faire le plus rapidement possible", a expliqué Kyrgios. Je suis très fier d'être de retour", a déclaré Nck Kyrgios. Puis, il a décrit sa situation actuelle au plan physique. Je me sens bien préparé au plan mental. J'ai très bien joué au tennis sur cette surface dernièrement, et je me sens bien. La clé est de bien dormir pour s'assurer que votre corps est en bonne forme. Si j'avais réalisé cela au début de ma carrière, peut-être qu’elle aurait été différente.

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.

Après avoir remporté la guerre des aces et des «S» contre Stefanos Tsitsipas, l'Australien a dégagé sa partie.
