Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios are playing a firing match in Wimbledon. Kyrgios was extremely busy with his antics swearing at anybody and insulting the umpire as soon as he could. The Australian player was gifted indeed by the umpire that until the third set he received only a warning.
Eventually, Stefanos lost it and he threw a ball in the stands after losing the second set. Kyrgios threw a tantrum asking for Tsitsipas to default.
