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.

Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios asked the umpire to have a woman who he said was 'drunk out of her mind' removed from the match.

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. The first one came in the first round where he received a $4,000 fine for an “audible obscenity.” In an exchange with the umpire in the middle of the third set, the Australian said that the person looked like she was about "700 drinks" deep.

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. Kyrgios then had a key service game disrupted by a member of the crowd. I felt like the trophy was definitely attainable today.

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.

Novak Djokovic had trouble with Nick Kyrgios' monster serve, but eventually found his rhythm -- and blocked out the distractions -- to win his 21st Grand ...

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.

Controversial Australian earns Novak Djokovic's respect despite grand final defeat on Centre Court.

And since learning he would be participating in a Grand Slam final after Nadal withdrew Thursday from the semifinals with an abdominal injury, Kyrgios couldn't sleep at night. Once his advantage on the scoreboard began to dwindle, and after he lost one return game after being up love-40, and one service game after being up 40-love Kyrgios began talking to the people in his guest box, which included his father and his girlfriend ( but no coach, because he doesn't have one ). He would yell in that direction. There were those who have wondered during his career whether Kyrgios would ever be able to harness his tremendous skills and make it to the final weekend of a major tournament. Kyrgios said he found the past two weeks stressful. And for one full set Sunday, in the biggest match of his life, on one of the most famous courts in the world, at as prestigious tournament as there is, against one of the greatest players in tennis history, Kyrgios played brilliantly. He let his opponent gain the upper hand.

“It was (Djokovic’s) level- headedness, the ability to draw on past experiences. I don’t really think that a lot of people would have that ability in the final of Wimbledon. “He actually pushed Novak a lot. He knew that anything could happen out there, he was ready for it. “He was so consistent. But then it was Novak who, what we have seen so many times before, came through with the consistency, the

Top seed Novak Djokovic has captured the Wimbledon 2022 gentlemen's singles title, ending the career-best run of Australian Nick Kyrgios in a four-set ...

He joins the elite company of Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer as the only men in the Open era to achieve that feat. I’m just really happy with this result, it’s probably the best of my career. “Nick, you’ll be back,” Djokovic said. “It’s been an amazing couple of weeks for me. The world No.40 was focused, calmly striking 14 winners and just four unforced errors to establish an early lead. But he was just so composed.
