Nick Kyrgios defeated No. 4 seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas, 6-7 (2-7), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (9-7), on Saturday to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time since 2016. But what caught more attention than Kyrgios’s win was the back-and-forth jabs between the two during the news conference after the match.
During the heated match, the unseeded Australian called for Tsitsipas to be defaulted when the Greek star hit a ball recklessly into the stands, barely missing a female spectator, out of frustration. Even more, the chair umpire, Damien Dumusois, called three code violations in the match. One was called on Kyrgios for obscenity and two on Tsitsipas for his ball abuse that led to a point penalty.
