Nick Kyrgios defiant in spiky exchange as he’s quizzed on Wimbledon rule breaking

Fashion rebel Nick Kyrgios was unabashed after he faced a line of questioning on his latest breach of the rules at Wimbledon on Monday.

The Australian firebrand was dubbed 'disrespectful' by some fans after walking onto Centre Court for his fourth-round match against Brandon Nakashima sporting a pair of red and white Nike Air Jordan Dunks. He then conducted his on-court interviews wearing a red cap, both of which clearly violated SW19's longstanding all-white dress code.

Kyrgios will face Chile's Cristian Garin in the Wimbledon quarter-finals after beating Nakashima 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-2. The 27-year-old was fined $10,000 (around £8,200) earlier in the tournament for spitting at a spectator but could face further punishment for the latest display of rebellion.
