Nick Kyrgios

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.

Why then would you walk on to centre court with bright red trainers on and do an interview in a red cap? "But lose the effing red hat. That attitude extended all the way to the decider and his meeting with royalty. Reporter: But there are rules specifically against that. Sending a message." Competitors must be dressed in suitable tennis attire that's almost entirely white - and this applies from the moment in which the player enters the court surrounds.

Throughout Sunday's three-hour Wimbledon final, Nick Kyrgios was on his best behavior — at least when it came to the tennis tournament's notoriously strict ...

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.

The Duchess of Cambridge is the royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club — so would be well aware of the rules — but Kyrgios still dared to don his red cap when she handed him his trophy on Centre Court.

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.

The Australian was all praise for his Serbian competitor who claimed his 21st grand slam title on Sunday.

Djokovic was about to respond before Kyrgios interrupted him with a quick remark, and the Serbian jokingly quoted his rival. It’s been an amazing couple of weeks for me personally. Okay it’s officially a bromance.”

And due to players' rankings points not dropping off their records for a year, the decision not to award points at Wimbledon will continue to have ramifications for 12 months. Had Djokovic been playing, Kyrgios could conceivably have faced Djokovic in the first round in New York as a result of the rankings debacle. Tennis officials' controversial decision not to award rankings for Wimbledon has ended in farce.

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.
