Controversial British journalist Piers Morgan was invited at Nick Kyrgios‘ podcast. They discussed the Aussie’s 2022 Wimbledon campaign among other topics.
Kyrgios claimed when he reached the final, the British press had no praise for him. He asked Morgan what would have happened had he defeated Novak Djokovic and lifted the Wimbledon.
I was very aware of some of the things that were being said and the UK press was saying this was the worst thing to happen to Wimbledon. If I had won that year, what do you think some of the articles would have been?
Nick Kyrgios asked Piers Morgan on Good Troubles with Nick Kyrgios podcast
Kyrgios is a controversial figure in the tennis world and in the 2022 Wimbledon, controversy erupted due to the 29-year-old who broke the tournament’s all-white dress code. He wore red trainers before and after the match against Brandon Nakashima in the fourth round on the Centre Court.
In earlier rounds, he also spat toward a fan and swore during his third-round match against Stefanos Tsitsipas. Had he defeated Djokovic in the final, he would have become a cynosure of all eyes, according to Morgan.
I suspect in that moment of victory a lot of that angst would have gone and you would have been Mr. Charming Nick, and you’d have charmed everybody and everybody would have cheered you.

Nick Kyrgios and Piers Morgan agree that Andy Murray should be given statue at Wimbledon
Andy Murray retired at the Paris Olympics this year but his last match on the tour was at the Wimbledon. He couldn’t singles because of an injury issue but played doubles with his brother Jamie Murray, but they were defeated in the first round.
Murray was a two-time Wimbledon champion, winning the title in 2013 and 2016. During Nick Kyrgios‘ podcast, he and Piers Morgan also discussed Murray’s career and both agreed that the Scot should have a statue at the Wimbledon.
I think he is one of the greatest sportsmen and he also epitomizes what I like my sportsman to be. He has a persona that he plays up to which bears no relation to what he is actually like.
Piers Morgan said
The Wimbledon was the first Grand Slam tournament where Kyrgios reached the final. Kyrgios, then unseeded, met first-seed Djokovic and defeated him in the first set. But the Serb, after winning the second set, did not let the momentum shift toward his opponent and soon he won the match to lift his seventh title at SW19.
