But this tournament is tricky and I’m still feeling out how to play the best game here.” “I didn’t want to remind people that I’m good; I know that I’m good,” Kyrgios said. Swiatek was in early trouble before winning four games in a row to take the first set but went down a break in the second and could not recover. He claims to like grass and I think his game is good for the grass,” Tsitsipas said. Tsitsipas’ comments came as Kyrgios launched an attack on the media for “disrespecting” him after his win over Krajinovic, and declared he is “one of the most important people in the sport”. “I respect him for his game and the way he fights ... when he wants to.” I respect him a lot on the court, what he is trying to do, although he has been a little bit controversial.

Attention and excitment at the All-England club is growing ahead of a blockbuster Saturday clash for Nick Kyrgios against the popular Stefanos Tsitsipas.

From the back of the court I felt like I really returned well. Although he has been a little controversial in the past, I think he’s playing good tennis. We also like being around him as a family, the Tsitsipas family. For when it comes to Kyrgios against players in the upper echelon, the stats usually back up that he’s capable of holding his own. Hopefully, I can stay there and do something great, have a great competitive match against him.” I think there’s good connection with him, which matters a lot. “There was just nothing the media possibly could tell me I did wrong today. [I’m] one of the most important people in the sport. “And I love it because then you can’t write anything. [Krajinovic] made finals at Queen’s, [he’s] top 30 in the world, seeded,” said Kyrgios. Kyrgios had backed up his talk with a near-perfect performance, pounding down 50 winners and committing just 10 unforced errors against Serbia’s Filip Krajinovic in one hour and 25 minutes. All the challenges I’ve overcome in my life.

Shane: Holding an 8-2 record on the surface this season, Stefanos Tsitsipas has seemingly found comfort with the grass courts of Wimbledon. Nick Kyrgios, ...

The Chilean was due to face Matteo Berrettini in his opener before the Italian had to pull out due to Covid. Garin has gotten to face two lucky losers instead, taking out Elias Ymer and Hugo Grenier in straight sets. Like in his fourth-round run last year, Garin has taken advantage of the draw. Shane: Jenson Brooksby won his first two career Wimbledon matches in straight sets. Damian: This is a brilliant chance for both. It will take a vintage Gasquet performance to upset van de Zandschulp though. Damian: Van de Zandschulp has it all – the big serve and arsenal of weapons, but also great movement and defense. Botic van de Zandschulp has been extremely impressive this year as well as the more consistent player. He’s now ready to secure his spot in the second week at another Slam, something that he was unable to achieve before the 2022 Australian Open. I have enjoyed watching the Americans’ comfort on the grass grow with seemingly every set. With that said, I do not think the Australian has the competitive stamina to last in a longer match. All signs are pointing to it, but this is definitely a key match. Damian: Is this finally a Grand Slam tournament Kyrgios can threaten to win?

You can be more present in your everyday life and the important tasks that you have to fulfil, the things that you want to pursue. Social media is all about bringing people together, connecting people, and it kind of feels sometimes like it does the opposite to that to everyone around us.” “I have never really been on that side of social media addiction, but you are always one step away from it. “[They would probably see] a fun side of me that sometimes requires less thinking than when I’m with other people and I have to instantly answer or say something that doesn’t leave me with much gap of thought,” Tsitsipas said. “It is kind of my own media place, where I can just express anything I want. I like the fact that I can look back to them in one or two years and I have a feed where I can preview all my past quotes and opinions I might have had. Once you start picking up your phone and going straight to a social media platform to feel less bored, that’s not a good indication or sign. Also, as a kid I was a big fan of Phineas and Ferb, the TV show for kids, and Perry the Platypus was the hero there. This is a sentiment that was reflected when he tweeted out the message, “The quieter you become, the more you can actually hear.” There were also dingoes, which I saw in one of the videos.” "You’re always allowed to pick your information that you want to keep for yourself. This is clearly reflected in the 23-year-old’s Twitter feed, where he regularly shares a mixture of humorous, philosophical, and heart-warming messages.
