down the line, nimbly set up crosscourt shots, and wrong-footed Djokovic more than once. Kyrgios, who usually has a tendency to rush points by taking risks , was even the better defender, at the start, covering the ground with long, loping strides. He won seven of the first eight points of nine shots or more. But with Djokovic serving at 1–1, 30–all, the two played a twenty-three-shot rally, and over the course of it the balance of power between the two players began to shift.
Djokovic was playing in his thirty-second Grand Slam final. He was going for a twenty-eighth consecutive match win on Centre Court, and was going for his fourth straight Wimbledon title, his seventh over all. He had won twenty major titles, and, if not for, probably would have already won a couple more. On the court, his stubbornness and self-belief have always served him well.
Kyrgios defends his antics as entertaining. That defense, like the rest of his story, has become a little worn out. For years, Kyrgios has said that there are things he prefers to tennis: basketball, his couch, his PlayStation, his dogs. He has said that he’d never been accepted by the Australian tennis establishment, and didn’t want to be. His father is a Greek immigrant who worked as a house painter; his mother came from Malaysia. He got tattoos, pierced his ears, tanked matches.
It was a weird Wimbledon, with some top players missing, and Kyrgios added a lot. His talent not a question. Ability to harness it of course is...will be interesting to watch him in the U.S. Open..
Haha this isn't news.
No, he didn’t. Watch the after match interview. He was very gracious.
How unlike him 🤯😒
He is not good enough and acts like a petulant child. Maybe one influences the other.
pretty sure he blamed the grass, the net, a drunk lady..the ball kids etc..
MrTVAus louisahthomas So please tell us New Yorker, what did you think of John McEnroe’s antics?
louisahthomas Given that viewing audiences for this year's Wimbledon smashed all previous records, who exactly is worn out?
louisahthomas I am always bemused at people who attempt to tear down his argument by doing exactly what he has said. Surely your story is to entertain and is therefore an extension of Nick Kyrios? Without him your story doesn't exist.
louisahthomas Yes. A guy screaming at other people because he loses a few points is not entertaining.
louisahthomas
louisahthomas Really, don’t think so ..
louisahthomas Obviously hems extremely mentally fragile. Maybe you could help him instead of hate him.
louisahthomas At this point, watching Djokovic is a little worn out.
louisahthomas history’s long foretold in youth becoming old seasons are shorted gains duly aborted turning to pains with time nothing remains bar stains on trophies of thine the thrill is in the doing the meing & the youing the adrenaline that is brewing “Diversion” - Antidepressant Corpus
