The Nick Kyrgios show has returned to Wimbledon — and this time you didn't want to look away.

And after declaring post-match he only sees himself playing for another two or three years, he knows this could be his best chance of reaching the final weekend of a slam. “I’m just really sick of the media right now. Freakish and with barely a sign of his usual antics. It doesn’t matter if it was out, you’d called game already. On his way to a five-set victory over Paul Jubb on Wednesday morning, Kyrgios branded one line judge a “snitch” with “no fans” and repeatedly argued with the chair umpire. He finished with 49 winners and just 10 unforced errors. He was widely slammed in the tennis world and global media personality Piers Morgan on Thursday called him a “pig”. It doesn’t matter. They’re just nitpicking all of my matches. Kyrgios told the Tennis Channel he believed he’s playing some of the best tennis of his career. “I felt like it was a bit of a statement,” he told the Tennis Channel post-match. Nick Kyrgios has turned his Wimbledon campaign on its head with a “ridiculous” performance that has blown the world away.

Australian Nick Kyrgios delivered a devastating serving masterclass at Wimbledon on Thursday as he blasted past Serbia's Filip Krajinovic 6-2 6-3 6-1 in 85 ...

"I've been preparing for this tournament, it's been circled on my calendar pretty much all year and I'm so excited to be here again. But I was in my zone today, great body language. He took the first set without dropping a point before many fans had even taken their seats.

The wild Australian took on No.26 seed Filip Krajinovic in the second round coming off a first round match that shocked the world and made him the most talked ...

He played his opening round match on Court 3, which has capacity of 2000. The Canberran continued to breathe fire in his post-match press conference — where he was eating pasta in between answers — refusing to apologise for his behaviour, doubling down on his accusations against misbehaving fans and denying he had any sympathy for officials. On his way to a five-set victory over Paul Jubb on Wednesday morning, Kyrgios branded one line judge a “snitch” with “no fans”, argued with the chair umpire and spit in the direction of spectators he said were being disrespectful.

Nick Kyrgios breezed through Filip Krajinović in the second round of Wimbledon and dropped a classic call.

Just great body language, just played well." It wasn't great," Kyrgios said. "Obviously nerves.

Here's how lacking in bull-headed confrontation he was, he even had time to congratulate his opponent Filip Krajinovic for a fine forehand winner. And, probably ...

Krajinovic double fault and Kyrgios breaks to claim the set. “A lot of disrespect was being thrown today from the crowds,” the Australian said. Kyrgios quite rightly says to the umpire that the Serbian should not have been allowed to challenge. Backhand return by Kyrgios catches the baseline, great shot, 40-30. Kyrgios forehand into net, deuce. Kyrgios strolls through another service game, holding to 15. Outrageous forehand on the run by Kyrgios, 15-15. The fact was, after almost shooting himself in the foot in the first round, here in the second his application was exemplary, his concentration total, his vision exceptional. Not only that, as the crowd in No 2 court, with its healthy sprinkling of Aussies, would concur: in this mood he can deliver proper entertainment. So sharp was it, consistently smacking the backboards at over 130 mph, that Krajinovic - who only a fortnight ago was playing in the final at Queen’s - was able to win just 10 points off the Kyrgios serve across three sets. “I’ve had this tournament circled in my calendar all year. Those heading to Court No 2 hoping for some histrionics, some pantomime villainy, maybe a gob or two of spittle directed into the crowd, were seriously disappointed.
