The World No. 43 Garin was competing in his maiden Grand Slam quarter-final after rallying from two-sets-to-love down to edge Australian Alex de Minaur in a Wimbledon thriller. The Australian collapsed to the ground following his standout victory. Garin made the faster start in his first meeting with Kyrgios, quickly finding his rhythm from the baseline to earn an early break. The Australian, who lost in the quarter-finals on debut at SW19 in 2014, saved all three break points he faced in the set, before he produced moments of magic in the tie-break, rallying from 3/5 to advance. I just never thought that I would be in the semi-finals at a Grand Slam. I thought that ship had sailed,” Kyrgios said in his on-court interview. To be in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam, I am pretty happy.”

A point later, Garin miss-hit a backhand wide and Kyrgios collapsed to his back, a Grand Slam semifinalist for the first time, amid the eeriest and tensest of environments. Garin broke Kyrgios’s serve at love in the opening game and won the first nine points of the match, prompting Kyrgios to shrug his shoulders and start the running dialogue with his box that lasted all afternoon. Every time Kyrgios needed a point, he found a big enough serve, or his hard, flat backhand, or a whippy, nasty forehand to get him over the hump. An early break of serve, a bump or two to give Garin a chance to get back even, some back and forth with his posse for support, and then ultimately, an ace to take a commanding lead. Part of what drives him, Kyrgios has said, is to prevail over all the naysayers and critics who view him as the antithesis of the sport’s mythic gentility. In the Kyrgios box, his father, girlfriend, agent, and physiotherapist rose after every point. In the few tense moments, the “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Oy, Oy, Oy,” cheer sounded, too. After Tsitsipas called him a “bully,” he said the Greek star was “soft” and no one on the tour liked him. He spat in the direction of a fan during his tense five-set, first-round win. It earned Kyrgios a semifinal showdown with the 22-time Grand Slam singles champion Rafael Nadal on Friday. When the matches ended, he took on journalists who questioned his behavior or his violations of Wimbledon’s all-white dress code, and even went after vanquished opponents. I understand everyone wants to kind of ask about it and all that, but I can’t give you too much on that right now.”

With assault charges hanging over him in his native Australia, Nick Kyrgios continues to march through the Wimbledon draw.
He beat No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas in a highly charged third-round match that saw Tsitsipas aim balls at both Kyrgios and the fans, and then take shots at Kyrgios after the match. I’ve been playing this sport since I was 7, and semifinals of a Grand Slam, I’m pretty happy.” Tsitsipas called Kyrgios a “bully” and said he has a “very evil side.” He’s the first Australian to reach a major semifinal since Lleyton Hewitt at the 2005 U.S. Open. Kyrgios will meet No. 2 Rafael Nadal, who overcame an abdominal injury to beat American Taylor Fritz in five sets for his 19th straight major victory this season. “It’s an amazing atmosphere out here again,” he said on court.
Wimbledon player refuses to address accusation saying he had been gagged by lawyers.
I would like to keep it like that. He faces Spain’s Rafael Nadal, the world No 4, on Friday. Obviously I’ve been advised by my lawyers that I’m unable to say anything at this time.” “Obviously I read about it and obviously everyone else was asking questions. Five of you.” There’s five of you.
Nick Kyrgios, Australia's combustible star, kept his composure to beat Cristian Garin in straight sets in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
Kyrgios is already muttering at the baseline. Kyrgios gets on the board with two aces and an unreturned serve. The first real baseline rally sees Garin go too long off the forehand. He's angry at missing a second-serve return at 0-30, though, and Garin digs out some big serves at the right time. And just like that, Kyrgios takes the first set! Garin is throwing in one too many baseline errors right now, although he's just hit another ripping forehand winner off a Kyrgios first serve. Kyrgios hits his first return winner of the match — a sign of the confidence with which he's playing. A quick-fire hold for Garin is just what he needed. Terrific court coverage from Garin sees him get to a Kyrgios drop volley and hit a winner. Kyrgios took umpire James Keothavong to task in the changeover. Garin is getting a few errors off the Kyrgios racquet now whenever he can keep a baseline exchange going. Garin returns well again and Kyrgios simply scoops a forehand wide.

“I would never put that burden on someone.” “That would probably be the most-watched match of all time.” “Obviously I’ve been advised by my lawyers that I’m unable to say anything at this time.” Kyrgios, who is ranked 40th, has garnered more attention for his behavior on and off the court than his skills with a racket in hand. “Probably hurts more than any loss I’ve ever had,” Fritz said. It’s clear something’s not right,” said Nadal, who will get tests Thursday for an issue that first cropped up nearly a week ago but got much worse at 3-1 in the first set against Fritz. “I’m obviously worried.” After Fritz took the third set, his big serve got broken three times in the next. Nadal stayed out there, adjusted his service motion and his strategy — and figured out a way to win. This time, the problem was a muscle in his stomach area, which had some athletic tape. “I feel like I let it kind of get to me a little bit.” “It definitely made me kind of think. Up in the Centre Court stands, Nadal's father was waving his arms, motioning to the 22-time Grand Slam champion to quit.
