Kyrgios booed in Wimbledon

5 July 2015

Nick Kyrgios nowadays seems to be happy just to hit the headlines for any reason. After showing some weird behaviors in the first 3 rounds (mainly against the umpire), the young Australian shows something odd also in the 4^th round against Gasquet (the Frenchman won it in 4).

What happened?

Apparently Kyrgios was upset for “something” with the umpire (for a change) to just give away a game when he was 1 set and 1 game down. The public wasn’t please with that.

After a strange exchange with the umpire in the 3^rd set Kyrgios asked to Gasquet to change his socks (???)

Time to grow up?

GASPING FOR MORE ATTENTION?

Lots of venom directed at Kyrgios tonight. Tanking accusations. Looks like he’s moved further up the wanker scale. pic.twitter.com/AWj48gXeuG

It must be tough playing against a talented guy who is semi tanking. Umpire should have the power to disqualify #mind games #kyrgios

@livetennis I like Nick Kyrgios because I think he’s a good guy, but his petulant attitude, sulking and tanking is NOT winning him fans

Not a good showing by Kyrgios. Even commentators calling this a tanking. https://t.co/EzSrVfng8o

Can Pat Rafter come out of retirement? Australian tennis is in a bad, bad way. Tomic has lost the plot, now Kyrgios is tanking. #Wimbledon

One senses a fine for lack of effort in Nick Kyrgios’s future. https://t.co/nxfsyNE9uS
