Both behave on the field as if they hate each other. “What happened on the field stays on the field.”

Tennis gentleman’s rules flew into the scrap heap when Australia Nick Kyrgios pulled off quite a surprise and knocked Greece out Stefanos Tsitsipas In the third round of Wimbledon.
Kyrgios advanced to the last 16 6–7 (2–7), 6–4, 6–3, 7–6 (9–7).
During the match, inappropriate comments were thrown, warnings were given and even a point penalty was given to Tsitsipas.
“To be honest, it was an absolutely insane atmosphere. I knew it would be a tight match. He’s a damn good player,” Kyrgios said in the on-court interview, and he was absolutely right.
Wimbledon’s first court was buzzing during the match. There were two camps of supporters, those shouting for Kyrgios and the Greeks.
Known as the bad boy of tennis, Kyrgios enjoyed greater support. The audience wanted a show and sure enough, they got it.
The two of you after the set, Tsitsipas received a warning for apparently mouthing. After that, he pressed again for his familiar bathroom break, with which he annoys almost every opponent and he made no exception this time either.
Kyrgios couldn’t figure out why he had to run to the bathroom again. Kyrgios complained to the crowd and the umpire throughout as the Greek attended to his needs.
In the third in the set, the heart rate rose and the atmosphere heated up. Kyrgios served the lower season in the decider to make it 4–1. Tsitsipas got to the ball, but deliberately hit it straight to the end of the first court.
Tsitsipas had no intention of trying to get the ball into the field. The verdict was: a point penalty for the Greek.
The next inning started with a 0–15 situation and into square two.
When Kyrgios took a 5-2 lead in the third set, and Tsitsipas’ knuckle shot fell a couple of meters long. Kyrgios threw back: “Good shot, good shot.”
“I’m super happy that I’m through. I got frustrated,” Kyrgios said, stressing that what happens on the court stays there.
“I’m very close with his brother,” Kyrgios said, referring Petros Tsitsipas.
Together in the situation, Tsitsipas hit Kyrgio on purpose.
When the Australian got the match point with a bounced ball through Kant in the third set, he bowed majestically towards the stands, but had no intention of apologizing as befits the sport.
Kyrgios also said the win was no surprise. “I beat him last time too.”
