LONDON, United Kingdom—Nick Kyrgios admitted he meant to spear a forehand directly at Rafael Nadal in their bad-tempered Wimbledon clash on Thursday.

Nadal triumphed 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 , 7-6 in a second round Center Court duel, which saw the combustible Australian pick up a code violation for unsportsmanlike behavior and wage a bitter war of words with umpire Damien Dumusois.

"I was going for him. Yeah, I wanted to hit him square in the chest. Like, he's got decent hands," said 24-year-old Kyrgios. "I know when you hit this kind of ball, the ball can go anywhere. This time the ball went in, almost hit me, no problem." Nadal had suggested that Kyrgios does have the makings of a Grand Slam champion but the Australian doubts he has the work ethic to achieve such a lofty ambition.

"Just depends how bad I want it. But, no, at the moment I don't think I can contend for a Grand Slam."
