Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas played a rather spicy match. Eventually, it was Nick to win after using his antics. Tsitsipas was extremely frustrated during the match. The Greek player hit the ball hard and out a couple of times. He also aimed at Kyrgios a couple of times at the close range.
After the match, there was a rather quick and cold handshake. In the on-court interview, Kyrgios commented:
“I’m just super happy to be through. He was getting frustrated at times and it’s a frustrating sport, that’s for sure.
I have the ultimate respect for him. Whatever happens on the court is on the court. I love him and I’m close with his brother.”
"It's a frustrating sport that's for sure!" 💬
