Verbal volleys: 'Bully' Kyrgios tops 'soft' Tsitsipas
Australian Nick Kyrgios beat fourth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas in a wild, volatile, outburst-filled third-round match at Wimbledon where both players received code violations.
Both things can sort of be true. Nick acts like a tool on court, but Stefanos needs to harden up and let his tennis do the talking.
Amongst the bad behaviour there was a lot of tennis to enjoy, and the crowd were loving it
-
Tsitsipas let Kyrgios get inside his head.
To knock out Tsitsipas out in 4 sets is a good effort.
-
Someone posted on twitter the other day some words that made me reassess my opinion of Nick Kyrgios. Paraphrasing here, but "He hates his fucking job and still turns up to do it. I can relate to that"
-

i really don't like tennis
but holy shit to i want Kyrgios to keep going at Wimbledon
Fuck, i cannot wait for the angst him making the final would cause in all the people who love to pile in and call him a flog and how he doesn't represent Australia, if he is in a Grand Slam final.

@mariner4life Big fan of Rafa but I’ll be cheering on big Nick. Plus he loves his bball and Air J’s. He’s been playing heaps of pick up ball in Sydney to hone his fitness.
-
Gotta be so distracting for opponents of Kyrgios eh, he's yabbering away like a madman the whole time.
So dickish at times though eh - had a go at Garin yesterday for calling a review - a couple of games after he himself called for a review (that was even worse).

He's a baller trapped in a tennis player's body. Even his outfit is basically something he probably wears to pick up games

To me he looks like a tennis player trapped in a baller's body.

Rafa is old, he's injured, he's a claycourt specialist who has no business beating someone of Kyrios' talent on grass.
But, Roger can tell Nick some stories about Rafa's mental strength - and Nick is way more flaky than the Fed.

Oh I wouldn't expect someone of Rafa's ilk to even notice the madman.

Sux for Rafa, would have been great to see him go for the grand slam. Big payday for Nick, what another million in the bank.

I'm sure he'll hate it
-
will be an interesting final, if he plays the joker I believe Nick has a 2-0 H2H record
-
@bayimports There's circularity in the three who are left.
Novak is 1-0 over Cam.
And Cam is 2-1 over Nick.
My money is on Novak.
-
Pretty harsh on Rafa, he's not that bad.

Take note Rieko
Kyrgios's mum says ditching video games is behind his Wimbledon run

He is a cock though. Not Tomic-level, but still a cock. For every refreshing thing he says or does, and there are plenty, there is a a 1st round withdrawal and an unwarranted tirade at an official to match it.
Can he even play ball for all his talk? Bet @ACT-Crusader could take him 1-on-1...

"Our Nick" is it you shameless fluffybunnies?

So, after risking and digging their heels in for the tournement getting downgraded to an exhibition friendly and stripped of Tour points, the womens title was won and awarded to a Rooskie. Because optics, or something.
-
@Kid-Chocolate and decided to become a citizen of Kazakhstan because they gave her funding to play. Good on her I say.
Now if the Aussie they love to hate wins, a cherry on top for this non-Grand Slam…
