Nick Kyrgios was told to “stop moaning” by a tennis fan during his fourth round match at Wimbledon against Brandon Nakashima. Early in the fifth set, the Australian challenged a call thinking it was out, but the hawk-eye showed the ball landed comfortably in.
In what proved to be his only exchange with the umpire during the three-hour encounter, Kyrgios said to the official: "You’re sitting in a chair that’s like that high, so tell me if it’s in or out. Yeah I’ll waste a challenge if I want.” The umpire replied: “I didn't see the ball. I told you honestly I didn’t see it.”
A bemused Kyrgios added: “But how do you not see that though?” And the umpire could only respond with: “Because I’m not seeing it.” This prompted a frustrated member of the crowd to bellow in the direction of the world number 40: “Stop moaning!” - and centre court erupted with laughter.
