This year in Wimbledon, a new player arises: Nick Kyrgios, an angel and a demon. He has skills to hold his ground against Nadal, but a mouth that can get him fined over 10 thousand dollars.
Kyrgios, a 23-year old and a newcomer to Wimbledon, is on a roll with a no-loss win streak. Spectators are interested in the new superstar. According to Kyrgios, “Everywhere I go I’m seeing full stadiums.”
Kyrgios is Wimbledon’s daring player, not afraid to break rackets, hit balls into the crowd, and talk back to judges and umpires. Just recently, he went up against Tsitsipas and beat him in 3 hours. During the match, he spit at a spectator, which cost him 10,000 dollars, and hurled some foul language at Tsitsipas, which led to a 4,000 dollar fine.
Now, he is scheduled for the finals match with Nadal, tomorrow at 9 AM. His skill level is high given the fact that he can hit the ball between the legs, fire underhand aces, and many more actions that other tennis players would only think about doing. His serves are among the best in the game, almost always exceeding 130 mph.
He does all these actions without a coach. He says, “I don’t have a coach. I would never put that burden on someone.”
After the match, he shows again that he is different by wearing black to a press conference, other than the typical white. To take things further, he also scarfs down some sushi while he talks.
Nadal, Kyrgio’s opponent in the finals reflects, “I think everyone has to go to bed with being calm with the things that you have done. And if you can’t sleep with calm and being satisfied with yourself, it’s because you did things that probably were not ethical.” How does Kyrgios sleep?
