Kyrgios Stops Playing, Calls For Opponent To Be DQ’d, Resumes Game, Beats World #5 At Wimbledon

Nick Kyrgios was back to his winning best at professional tennis’ most bougie grand slam — Wimbledon. King Kyrgios wrapped up a win over world number five Stefanos Tsitsipas
Novak Djokovic hit a line umpire in the throat said the world number 5 Roger Federer Brandon Nakashima  on Monday. 

The post Kyrgios Stops Playing, Calls For Opponent To Be DQ’d, Resumes Game, Beats World #5 At Wimbledon appeared first on PEDESTRIAN.TV .

on Sunday morning. As you’d expect, it wasn’t without bucketloads of spicy drama. Kyrgios pushed past Tsitsipas in four sets to win 6-7, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 in a scoreline that looked suspiciously like my BSB number. Please don’t come for my $27. Cheers. The first spicy moment came after Tsitsipas hit a ball into the crowd which nearly clocked a female spectator. Kyrgios then demanded his opponent be defaulted from Wimbledon (AKA: DQ’d) after Tsitsipas only copped a code violation. “You can’t hit a ball into a crowd and hit someone and not be defaulted,” Kyrgios repeatedly said to the chair umpire. He backed up his argument by referencing ‘s DQ from the 2020 US Open, arguing that Tsitsipas should suffer the same fate. In that instance, Novak with a ball. “Bring out more supervisors.

I’ve got many friends,” Kyrgios told reporters. “I’m actually one of the most liked… he’s not liked,” he continued, referring to Tsitsipas. In his own presser, Tsitsipas took aim at Kyrgios for talking and accused him of bullying. “It’s constant bullying, that’s what he does. He was probably a bully at school,” . “He has some good traits in his character as well. But he also has a very evil side to him, which, if it’s exposed, it can really do a lot of harm and bad to the people around him.” Calling someone EVIL at a Wimbledon post-game press conference? That’s gotta be a first. Messy binches, the both of them! Oh well, whether you love him or hate him Kyrgios gets eyeballs watching tennis. I think summed him up nicely.
