I see The Nick Kyrgios Show has roared back into town. Already had a couple of warnings in this match and baited Tsitsipas into one as well :slol:

I honestly hope Kyrgios goes far into next week just because it would boil the piss of all the right people. :slol:

I have no real interest in Tennis beyond who wins Wimbledon, but I saw this today and thought it was brilliant. I remember watching the Henman game but hadn't appreciated the back story to his opponent.

Just remembered Wimbledon was on and thinking of catching up on Andy Murray and then well he's out. Can't see him ever getting back to where he was :cry:

Nick Kyrgios has been charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend in a domestic violence incident which allegedly occurred in December 2021.

The Australian tennis star, 27, is accused of attacking model Chiara Passari and will face court next month.

'ACT Policing can confirm a 27-year-old Watson man is scheduled to face the ACT Magistrates Court on the 2nd of August in relation to one charge of common assault following an incident in December 2021,' police said on Tuesday afternoon.

If found guilty, Nick Kyrgios faces a maximum two year prison sentence.

Can I drop a “human trash” comment on Kyrgios?

If not I’ll simply say he is a strawberry floating banana split and leave it at that.

Stern test for Novak. Passed with flying colours. Great stuff there. Fantastic performance from Sinner. Can see him winning this in a few years.

I really wish the Centre Court crowd could just shut the hell up during points.

Great run by Norrie, hopefully he can pull out something special against Djokovic. :toot:

I think Djokovic is probably where his tournament ends, but he's played exceptionally well to get to where he is!

Great stuff from Norrie but can't see him getting past Djoko.

Indeed. As much as I can't stand Djokovic he is a bloody top-tier tennis player and he'll have quite the chip on his shoulder now.

Just imagine if he beat him though. Would be incredible.

Hopefully Nadal has a miraculous recovery otherwise it's probably going to be a Novax/Wife Beater final.

And the All England Club were concerned about the optics of who they hand the trophy to!
