Nick Kyrgios

The top-seeded Djokovic ran his unbeaten run at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament to 28 matches and raised his career haul to 21 major trophies.

He and the world also learned that he is due in court in Australia to face an assault allegation. The 40th-ranked Kyrgios was trying to become the first unseeded men's champion at Wimbledon since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001. There's more: Federer missed the tournament for the first time since the late 1990s because he is still recovering from a series of operations on his right knee. In last year's title match at Wimbledon, Djokovic dropped the opening set. He waited for Nick Kyrgios to lose focus and lose his way. Waited until his own level rose to the occasion.

Asked to describe the fan disrupting his match against Novak Djokovic, Nick Kyrgios said, "The one that looks like she's had about 700 drinks."

It nearly cost me the game. "Why's she still here? You didn't believe me and then she did it again.

Kyrgios had spoken about the importance of experience here -- and how while this would be his first Grand Slam final Djokovic knows every blade of grass and exactly how to navigate the sport's biggest occasion. By that point Nadal will have had three opportunities to stretch out in front, while Federer may still be in the midst of his comeback. When Kyrgios missed his chance to break Djokovic at the end of the second set -- surrendering three set points -- he increased the chat toward his box. That meant Djokovic had lost a first set for the third match running at Wimbledon -- just the third time in his career on grass this had happened. He was growing increasingly frustrated at how the match was developing, and the chat continued into the third set. Djokovic told us Friday to expect "fireworks" in this match, and while there were no on-court flashpoints between the two players, it did not want for drama. Kyrgios had won both of their previous meetings ahead of the Sunday final -- and Djokovic had drawn just one break point opportunity in those two matches. But in the first set he really couldn't get ahold of Kyrgios' serve -- which included a second ace at 125mph in just the second game of the match. Kyrgios grew visibly more frustrated during the third set and asked the umpire to remove a spectator who he said had "drunk 700 drinks, bro" and was talking to him during a point. Kyrgios dropped just five points on his serve in the first set to storm through. As Kyrgios stuck the ball in the net on championship point, Djokovic looked to his team and let out a massive exhale. Kyrgios stormed through the first set in just 31 minutes to win 6-4, with Djokovic finding it hard to read the Australian's serve.

Novak Djokovic beat Nick Kyrgios for his seventh Wimbledon title and his 21st Grand Slam title, moving one shy of Rafael Nadal's record.

He rallied from love-40 and 40-love deficits to win a game late in the second and third sets. “It always has been and will be the most special tournament in my heart.” Kyrgios, who had never been to a major semifinal before this tournament, did not keep up the torrid pace.

Not on the tennis court, but I feel like when a real life crisis is happening and someone stands up for you.” No matter what happens on court, you imagine the embrace at the net will be a warm one. The pandemic, initially, did nothing to dilute Kyrgios’ public disdain for Djokovic, and the 2021 Australian Open proved to be a flashpoint. It was interesting for the media, the people watching, all that. I have a foundation. There is also a level of respect and even friendship between the two now that has never existed before.

In his third round against Stefanos Tsitsipas, he received a $10,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct after he was given two code violations for instances of ball abuse.

Novak Djokovic has been crowned Wimbledon champion for a seventh time following a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) victory over Nick Kyrgios.

He continually overwhelmed Kyrgios from on top of the baseline, dragging him from side to side while absorbing his first strike with his peerless defence. He spent the change of ends pointing out his heckler to the umpire. Djokovic, one of the best returners of all time, struggled badly to read his serve and made poor decisions under pressure. He served extremely well, he weaved his web of variety and even out-rallied Djokovic from the backhand corner. He was deported before the first grand slam tournament of the year, then he was thoroughly outplayed in the second. This was a final of two players with completely different standings in the game, but who have garnered massive followings and had frequent brushes with controversy in their careers.

He threw in an underarm serve and a tweener as he took the first set with some stunning tennis. “There was a point where I was almost done with the sport. He got a code violation for swearing – in front of Prince George, no less – and demanded a “drunk” female spectator be removed from the crowd. It was 7pm when Nadal’s name appeared ominously on the media interview screen for what was an unscheduled press conference which could only mean one thing. There was just nothing the media possibly could tell me I did wrong today. He munched on sushi during a fractious press conference afterwards.

It was around this time he shouted at his nearest and dearest for not doing enough to help him convert the break, then mocked their flat reactions when he would lose a point. At one point, the 27-year-old appeared to be upset with his entourage for not giving him the right encouragement while in leading positions. And one can understand what that 'burden' might entail after he let loose on those comprising his box time and again from the second set onwards.

I served amazing I thought today, and he was just able to put so many balls in play,” Kyrgios said. After taking the first set, Kyrgios was unable to push on and clinch his first major title. I came out in the first set and I looked like I was the one who had played in a lot of finals. The top seed was competing in a record 32nd Grand Slam final, while Kyrgios was making his maiden major championship match appearance. The confidence and the belief in yourself, that only comes with achievement or something that he's achieved like that many times. “To find people that have my back, that I just love being around, and they just want to push me to be a better person and to be a better tennis player.

With Djokovic serving at 5-3, 0-40, Kyrgios had a golden opportunity for a break to get back into it, but was unable to convert and lost the second set.

Nick Kyrgios believes he "belonged" in the Wimbledon final after losing to Novak Djokovic in four sets on Centre Court.

"I put myself in a position to win the first set. I feel like that's when you got to maybe give her a water or take her out." "In big moments, it just felt like he was never rattled. But I came out in the first set and I looked like I was the one who had played in a lot of finals. I mean, look, I've been on a couple nights out in my life," he said with a small smile. "You didn't believe me and then she did it again and it nearly cost me the game. I feel like I've kind of put it together a little bit this couple of weeks." "I know exactly which one it is. "I felt like he just has so much experience to draw on. I played a Slam final against one of the greatest of all time, and I was right there.

So I feel unbelievable. Nick Kyrgios has praised Novak Djokovic and called him "a bit of a god" after his defeat in the Wimbledon final. I don’t know how many times now.

Australian confident he is not far off a grand slam win after taking Novak Djokovic to four sets in Sunday's men's singles final.

“This is the best I’ve felt the two weeks … I just felt so much pressure. “Now it’s just released and I feel amazing. I thought I dealt with the pressure pretty well.” My game has always been there but I’ve just kind of put it together a little bit these couple of weeks. “I’ve got that under my belt now – a Wimbledon finalist,” Kyrgios said. “I came out in the first set and I looked like I was the one who had played in a lot of finals.

Mahesh Padmanabhan, the Indian-origin basketball player, oversees the fierce sessions involving Kyrgios in Australia.

Kyrgios had abused drugs and alcohol so much at one point in his life that he would come to games, “hungover”. One of the players is Chol Adup, who plays in the second-tier league of Australian Basketball. “Kyrgios is actually pretty good at basketball. “Basketball is my meditation but at the same time it’s good fitness as well. I’ve committed everything I can commit these two weeks and I just came up short. The people that I’m playing at Wimbledon … He’s (Tsitsipas) just soft. Nick is not the bully. Kyrgios plays with a band of college and semi-professional basketball players. Kyrgios explained it to the Australian newspaper. To come in here and say I bullied him, that’s just soft. The concern for me was ‘Oh, it’s Nick Kyrgios the tennis player with 10 million followers’. A few people were starstruck at the start and didn’t really believe he was coming. “He was coming for people’s necks,” Padmanabhan told Sydney Morning Herald. “He wouldn’t really hold back. I didn’t hit for more than an hour a day.”

During his match with Djokovic on Sunday, Kyrgios hounded the chair umpire to remove a distracting spectator who he said looked to have had “700 drinks,” and he was fined $4,000 for audibly cursing during the match. A year earlier, Federer was forced to change his shoes after he wore a pair with orange soles during his first-round match, according to the Associated Press. Roger Federer, an eight-time Wimbledon winner, said in 2014 that a dramatic tightening of the dress code that year was “too strict,” the New York Times reported. “Why should it matter to these people what I wear?” The Duchess of Cambridge, who handed Kyrgios his runner-up trophy, did not noticeably react to Kyrgios’s faux pas. In fact, it has become stricter, with tournament officials even checking the color of players’ underwear during matches.

He requested the umpire to kick her out and said she nearly cost him the game during the third set. But Kyrgios also has something of a reputation for his outbursts on the court. Nick Kyrgios has never been afraid to speak his mind, and he's certainly had his fair share of altercations with fans in the crowd.

Once the match was over he made one last statement, but not with any words. Instead, it was with a red hat that he put on and wore through the trophy ceremony.

White does not include off-white or cream.” Instead, it was with a red hat that he put on and wore through the trophy ceremony. Kyrgios was his usual talkative self during the match, yelling at his team a number of times and also yelling at the umpire about an unruly fan who he thought had 700 drinks.

Novak Djokovic's coach Goran Ivanisevic believes you can't prepare to face a player like Nick Kyrgios.

The Australian tennis star lost to Novak Djokovic in the final, and said, afterward, that he wasn't hungry for more.

Because of his refusal to get vaccinated for COVID-19, it is unlikely that he will have the chance to play in another Grand Slam until next spring. “I was telling people back home that I wanted to go for the title this year round,” Kyrgios said, after reaching the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. “I’m not thinking about lifting a trophy or making semifinals or making the final. I’m just thinking about my habits every day, just trying to put in a good performance on the court, then put in a good practice session, try to stay positive.” But, after the final, while being interviewed on court, Kyrgios was asked whether his success made him hungry for more. Ons Jabeur, who this year became the first Arab woman and the first North African woman to reach the Wimbledon final, embraced her role as a trailblazer for Tunisians and for Arab women. (Kyrgios has not yet commented on the accusations; his lawyer has said that “in the fullness of time” Kyrgios is “committed to addressing any and all allegations.”) He became depressed, he has said, and was haunted by thoughts of self-harm. He didn’t want to train. He didn’t want to travel. The contrast between Djokovic and Kyrgios was hard to miss. He didn’t ask for one of the greatest serves in the history of the game: somehow, it just happened. He just wanted to put on a show. He won seven of the first eight points of nine shots or more.
