Wimbledon: Nick Kyrgios survives Brandon Nakashima scare in ... (Eurosport.com)

Nick Kyrgios is into the quarter-finals of Wimbledon following a back-and-forth 6-4 4-6 7-6 (7-2) 3-6 6-2 battle with Brandon Nakashima.

A crosscourt forehand immediately followed to hand Kyrgios the set. A doctor and physio then came on to give Kyrgios some treatment. That’s what I was thinking about: I’ve been here before, I’ve done it before.” My five set record is pretty good; I’ve never lost a five-set match here. All of a sudden Kyrgios' serving evaded him and Nakashima took full advantage. Kyrgios held his remaining service games of the second set and converted his first set point with a powerful serve that Nakashima could only strike into the net.

The Nick Kyrgios Show, Also Known as Wimbledon, Gets Another ... (The New York Times)

Kyrgios, the big, talented Australian, has taken over Wimbledon with his antics and psychological warfare. It's working.

He missed seven of eight first serves in the third game of the second set, then missed a forehand on break point, and suddenly Kyrgios had the momentum. The show goes on, and maybe on and on. Nakashima serving at deuce at 1-1 made for a convenient time for Kyrgios to start jawing with the chair umpire. How about three serves in the 75-m.p.h. range, one underhanded, and a forehand on set point so obviously aimed off the court? On serve, midway through, Kyrgios called for the physiotherapist and a medical timeout. And then the numbers on the board tracking the speed of Kyrgios’s serve began to climb, from the 110s into the 120s in miles per hour and upward from there. Serving at a tight moment late in the set, Kyrgios hit 137 and 132 on the radar gun. Midway through the first set against Nakashima, Kyrgios appeared to injure his right upper arm and shoulder while trying to muscle a forehand return of Nakashima’s serve. Unable to swing freely and unable to unleash that nearly 140 m.p.h. serve as he did in his first three matches, Kyrgios stopped chasing and reaching for balls. But the mind can instinctually relax, suggesting to not hit that next forehand so close to the line or so hard because maybe it’s not necessary against a weakened opponent. He knows as well as anyone that tennis is as much a mental fight as a physical one, maybe more so. His regular battles with officials erupt without warning and can reappear throughout the match.

At this time in the event, I don't think anyone is feeling 100 per cent. “I woke up after [the Stefanos] Tsitsipas [match] and had some shoulder pain,” the Australian said. “I'm not thinking about lifting a trophy or making semi-finals or making the final. Once I'm off the court, enjoy time with my team, my girlfriend, and just really enjoy that.

Kyrgios had just moved into his first Wimbledon quarter-final in eight years, playing some of the best tennis of his career as he chases a maiden grand slam.

REPORTER: But there are rules specifically against that. Why then, would you walk onto centre court with bright red trainers on and do an interview in a red cap? “I sit here now in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon again, and I just know there’s so many people that are so upset,” he said. “Today is probably the first time in my career where I wasn’t playing well, regardless of playing Centre Court Wimbledon, fully packed crowd, I was able to just say 'wow, look how far I’ve come’, to myself. "I stepped out here against one of the greatest of all time and beat Nadal (in 2014), so these were all things I had at the back of my mind. Competitors must be dressed in suitable tennis attire that is almost entirely white, and this applies from the point at which the player enters the court surround.

Nick Kyrgios continued his eventful run at Wimbledon with a 4-6 6-4 7-6 (7-2) 3-6 6-2 victory against Brandon Nakashima in the fourth round.

The 20-year-old Nakashima, however, was far from done and broke for a 4-3 lead in the fourth. American Nakashima, playing in his first fourth-round match at a grand slam, claimed the first set with the first break point of the match, but Kyrgios, despite clutching his shoulder a number of times, hit back with a break at the start of the second. "I've never lost a five-set match here -- that's what I was thinking about," he said.

Nick Kyrgios was left delighted and very much in need of a glass of wine after he continued his hugely impressive run at Wimbledon on Monday.

"My agent had to come get me out of a pub at 4am before I played my match on Centre Court Wimbledon. These are all things I had in the back of my mind. "I feel like I can reflect on all those dark times when I pushed them all away. “I was really excited to play [Alex] de Minaur, to be honest. He came back firing in the fourth set, his level didn’t drop. "My five-set record is pretty good, I’ve never lost a five-set match here.

Kyrgios quickly regained his focus in the fifth set, targeting Nakashima's forehand to great effect to gain an early break. However, playing against Kyrgios on a big occasion is never easy, and the Australian showed why in a much-improved second-set display. Nakashima refused to go away in the fourth set, though. The six-time tour-level champion, who had regular physio treatments on his shoulder, will next play Chilean Cristian Garin as he looks to break new ground and reach his first Grand Slam singles semi-final. It was anywhere near my best performance, but I fought really hard and I am super happy to get through,” Kyrgios said in his on-court interview. The World No. 40 hammered 78 winners and broke the 20-year-old Nakashima's serve three times to improve to 11-2 on grass in 2022.
