The long-awaited duel between Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas at Wimbledon 2022 was strange and bizarre. The Australian should ultimately win this match - but the way there was a duel full of discussions and unpleasant actions.
Tsitsipas repeatedly aimed directly at his opponent, while Kyrgios vehemently demanded that the Greek be disqualified after he had maneuvered a ball into the ranks. The relationship between the two ATP stars obviously suffered from what happened in London.
Kyrgios angrily upsets Tsitsipa's quote
Even if you saw Kyrgios and Tsitsipas side by side in a show fight recently, the relationship still seems strained. At least that's what Tsitsipas' words, which the journalist Luigi Gatto spread via social media, indicate. "He was the one who destroyed our relationship. I didn't do anything," the Greek is quoted as saying.
"In Wimbledon 2022 I just tried to play while he was playing the clown. It also depends on how he wakes up that day," Tsitsipas said. In any case, Kyrgios was annoyed by these words, which he quickly explained on Twitter: "Right. This is the match in which he met someone in the stands. He hit another ball out of the stadium and was given a lesson in front of a full ranks", so the Australian.
