Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios
World No. 45 Nick Kyrgios continues his winning parade at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships as he takes out World No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round. In a thrilling and entertaining match on Court No. 1, Kyrgios won the match 6-7(7), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(7) after a battle of more than 3 hours.
Kyrgios despite dropping the first set, rallied back strongly in the next two sets and looked to close out the match in the 4th set. Stef however staged a mini-comeback to force an extended tiebreaker where the Australian came clutch to wrap the match in a thrilling fashion with a lot of controversies and drama throughout the match.
“I’m actually one of the most liked, he’s not”: Nick Kyrgios on Stefanos Tsitsipas’ reply
Despite Nick showing respect to Stef in his on-court interview after winning the match, the Greek star did not reciprocate same feelings and instead called him manupalative, evil and a bully on the court who was trying to distract him. Nick did not hold back the words in the press conference after knowing what was said about him and gave out a strong reply to it.
“I don’t know what to say. I’m not sure how I bullied him. 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. I did nothing towards Stefanos today that was disrespectful. I was not drilling him with balls. To come in here and say I bullied him, that’s just soft. We’re not cut from the same cloth. I go up against guys who are true competitors.
“I’ve got many friends in the locker room, just to let you know. I’m actually one of the most liked. I’m set. He’s not liked. Let’s just put that there. I was just playing tennis. I would be pretty upset if I lost to someone two weeks in a row. Maybe he should figure out how to beat me a couple more times first,” said Kyrgios taunting the fact that he has defeated Stef twice this season on grass with his earlier win coming in the 2nd round in Halle where Nich reached the semi-finals.
