Known for his eventful personality, and notably being his unapologetic self, Nick’s antics often make more headlines than his tennis. In a similar instance, early on in the game, the Australian was caught debating with the chair umpire over a towel dispute.
“I need to take a sh*t”: Nick Kyrgios
On-court, Nick Kyrgios wears his heart on his sleeve. Displaying the same, the Aussie unabashedly engaged in a rant, disagreeing with the umpire over a request. When asked to pick up his towel, Nick was displeased, as he claimed it was not his job to do so. As the umpire justified his request, claiming it was part of the game, Nick retailed over the same and taunted fellow tennis peer, Stefanos Tsitsipas.
He said, “It’s not part of the game. So texting someone’s part of the game too? Taking 20 min bathroom breaks is part of the game? I need to take a sh*t, part of the game.”

Nick’s comments are in relation to an enthralling battle earlier in the day, between Andy Murray and Stefanos Tsitsipas. The former World No. 1 accused the Greek of taking too much time during his bathroom breaks, hinting at some sort of misconduct. Notably, the current World No. 3 got penalized for the same.
On the business end of things, fans stay on the edge of the seat as the drama continues to unfold. Having lost the first set already, fans await to see if a comeback is still on the cards for Nick Kyrgios. The scoreline reads 6-3 to Bautista.
