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 charged with assault in late 2021 case: Report (The Indian Express)

Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios will appear before a Canberra court next month after being charged with assault for an incident last year.

In October last year, Kyrgios and his former model girlfriend Passari were moved to separate rooms in their Adelaide quarantine hotel after an argument. Kyrgios last month became the first athlete to join Evolve, the new sports agency co-founded by four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka. The 27-year-old is set to face Chile’s Cristian Garin on Wednesday in the men’s quarter-finals at Wimbledon. Australian media said the charge was related to a complaint made by Kyrgios’s former partner Chiara Passari.

The Australian responded with a cynical underhand serve and incessantly demanding that the chair umpire default Tsitsipas. “Given the matter is before the court … he doesn’t have a comment at this stage, but in the fullness of time we’ll issue a media release.” “He literally came to the match to literally just not even support anyone, really.

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.

Nick Kyrgios is driving everyone nuts at Wimbledon (Deadspin)

He is absolutely crushing it (and maybe headed to prison afterward)

The ATP was only too happy to do nothing and using that as cover, to the fury of more than a few players, but they’ll also feel Kyrgios is a much easier target whatever the outcome of the trial. The constant jabbering only infuriated Tsitsipas more, and he spent more than one game more concerned with labeling Kyrgios’s forehead with a ball than trying to win. Combined with Kyrgios talking to himself even during Tsitsipas’s serve and his blistering pace of play, and he certainly had the Greek on edge before the underhand serves. He can tickle the opposite side of the net with most delicate drop shot from anywhere on the court, and treat it like nothing as he gives up the next point with criminal nonchalance. Of course, with Kyrgios everything has its own context, and when he does it it’s seen as him not taking the match or sport seriously. And his run to the quarters (so far) at Wimbledon has been perhaps the most shining example of that in his career.

If he gets defaulted out of a tournament, he will love it, irrespective if it's a Grand Slam opportunity to win it. After that triumph, he was ordered to pay a £3,337 ($4,000) fine for bad language. After defeating the American in a closely-fought encounter, Kyrgios slipped the trainers back on and showed further disregard by bearing a bright red cap to match for his on-court interview. Kyrgios' behaviour goes beyond defying the dress code at SW19; he has received fines after two of his four Wimbledon matches so far this year. He defeated 20-year-old Brandon Nakashima in five sets to progress through the fourth round but made more headlines from his antics before and after the match. So Kyrgios caught the eye as he entered the sacred Centre Court turf to face Nakashima while donning bright red Nike trainers.

Kyrgios was fined for spitting in the direction of a spectator during his round one victory over local hope Paul Jubb and fined again for an audible obscenity in his spiteful third-round victory over Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas. The news comes as the 27-year-old world number 40 is enjoying his best singles performance at a grand slam tournament since 2015, when he made the quarter-finals of the men's singles at the Australian Open. In a statement, ACT police said a 27-year-old man from the Canberra suburb of Watson was scheduled to face the ACT Magistrates Court on that date in relation to one charge of common assault over an incident in December 2021.

Having been probed, too, on Monday about whether he bemoans the controversy and attention that inevitably follows him, Kyrgios said: “I don’t moan. With Kyrgios summoned to appear at the Australia Capital Territory Magistrates’ Court in early August on an allegation of common assault against former girlfriend Chiara Passari, his lawyers were quick to send an important message when the news was first reported by The Canberra Times: “The nature of the allegation is serious, and Mr Kyrgios takes the allegation very seriously.” That seemingly wasn’t the case on Tuesday as a sizeable media pack had Kyrgios in their sights as he turned up for practice just as the news of his pending court appearance was breaking.

In a more recent appraisal he told ABC News: “I look at myself in the mirror every day and I know that I’m comfortable in my own skin. Nadal has in the past described Kyrgios as “not a bad guy” despite his antics on court, saying he is a player of huge talent who could be fighting for the number one spot. Nick Kyrgios stunned the tennis world as a 19-year-old in 2014 when he beat then world number one Rafael Nadal on his way to the Wimbledon quarter-finals.
