We ❤️ Wimbledon ‘22.

As for Kyrgios he’s basically cheating. It’s about time some action was taken against him.
I said as much earlier to DH.

I have never disliked a player, even when MacEnroe was shouting the odds he was still quite amusing.

Kyrgios is just unpleasant.
I'm ashamed.

Andre Agassi was a gentleman and did not in any way behave like Kyrgios or McEnroe
Oh, I loved Andre Agassi!

He's really going off on one now, he should be disqualified.

He's got a fiancee? ?

I completely agree tickingbird....
This is disgraceful.. I just dont get why the Wimbledon officials are allowing this. Brings shame on the championship.

I agree.

He brings shame to tennis.

The shame of it is is that he is so talented but his ranting and raving over nothing most of the time, is so disrespectful to his opponent. As someone else said he stops once he’s ahead. If I was connected to him and sat in his box I’d be mortified.

Great tennis though.

Kyrgios is simply cheating - he is rattling his opponent with his antics rather than with his tennis skill.

This is not Wimbledon - how is it that the referee does not take control and disqualify him? It is all game-playing and deeply unacceptable. It spoils the tournament if someone is allowed to get away with this. Wimbledon has always had a tradition of decency and fair play.

It is so wrong. They need to have clear policies for these circumstances. He should have received a warning the first time he was abusive to a line judge.

I am very disappointed to see this.

McEnroe was bad enough, but that seemed to be genuine loss of control - this is just gamesmanship.

Oh come on, Tsitsipas
See him off please

Goodness me, you don't need to be ashamed! Unless you're his mother maybe. Quite a good article in the Guardian about him. I follow tennis all year round. He doesn't play up in all matches. But it must be a nightmare to play against him.

Come on Stephano... ignore the brat in the corner... do not reward bad behaviour...

Merlotgran... this is not great tennis.. this is gamesmanship and bullying..
And it is being enabled by Wimbledon officials.
Disgraceful.

Goodness me, you don't need to be ashamed! Unless you're his mother maybe.
No, I'm not his mother, thank goodness, but half my family are Australian!

deep down he just wants to be loved he's not going the right way about it is he ???

I guess not!

Actually he's had so much abuse on social media. Death threats. It's all so different in the digital age. He's self harmed.

Nick hasn't whacked a ball into the crowd. Not done a body slam, (in this match), not hit a ball into the score board either.

It appears this match is popular. BBC1 has actually stayed with the match. The crowd seem to like both participants.

I'm enjoying it. Evil Gran that I am!

Why is Kyrgios getting all the flak?

Tsitsipas was making McEnroe look like an angel.

It is so annoying isn’t it. The umpire and referees are so weak they make me ashamed to be British. This is blatant cheating and he will keep doing it because no one is calling him on it. I hope he gets to play Djokovic because I’m sure he wouldn’t put up with it like tsitsipas has done.
In fact I’m so annoyed by him I’m watching an ancient James Bond instead.

I follow tennis all year round too and he does play up all over the world, mostly when he’s up against it.

On a différent note I had to take a phone call and had one eye on the tennis and saw Rafa winning his match and meeting Sonego at the net and they were having a fairly heated discussion by the looks of it. What was that all about?

No he really doesn't.

And anyone thinking that Agassi was always the perfect gentleman must have just seen him at Wimbledon where he was a gent. However he certainly wasn't well behaved all the time. Plenty of Youtube clips of him having histrionics, smashing his racket and swearing at umpires

Fabulous to watch.

Grunting apparently. Rafa complaining, surprisingly.

Isn't it? I am getting to the point where I might have to leave the room. Far too hot and bothered!

It’s brilliant. They’re both playing a fast and furious (literally) game.

Oh F*ck

Sorry I don't normally swear ?

Dearie me!
