After their heated clash in Wimbledon, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios will probably not be good friends anymore. Kyrgios won the 3rd round against the Greek player going into a full mode with his antics.
Nick swore left and right and he was extremely vocal in wanting Tsitsipas to default after he threw a ball in the stands. Tsitsipas kept on trying to hit Kyrgios in the body.
Both players went at each other during the following press conference. Tsitsipas said that Kyrgios is a “bully with an evil side.” Kyrgios replied that Stefanos is “soft and he has serious issues.”
Kyrgios’ tattoo
Nick Kyrgios seems to be very proud of his tattoo and Tsitsipas posted a cryptic message on Instagram citing: “Give a man a mask and he will become his true self.”
That’s a phrase that Kyrgios has inked on his leg. Probably Stefanos wanted to say that Kyrgios’ near nature came out and the statement on Nick’s leg could easily refer to himself.
