Yesterday at the Wimbledon Championships 2022, we saw one of the most drama-filled matches of the tournament between Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas. During that entertaining third-round match, the Aussie player played one ridiculous underarm tweener serve, as he won the point. This point has gone viral on social media instantly, as many were praising the shot. However, a Seattle Seahawks (NFL team) fan decided to criticize, and the official Twitter handle of the US Open gave a savage reply.

Later, an NFL player also became involved in this Twitter battle, but the US Open did not hold back.

Then the Twitter war began between the two sides, as they continued to go back and forth. As the fan talked about the ratio of tennis, the US Open fired back at the Twitter user with a dig at their Quarterback once again. They wrote, “remind us again, we’re “not a sport” aren’t there only 32 NFL teams?”

Notably, US Open posted statistics, where it showed Drew Lock sitting in the last position on the list of top 40 quarterbacks. Meanwhile, Seahawks’ wide receiver, DK Metcalf, also joined the conversation, as he tweeted, Aight Chill we get the point @usopen.

But the US Open took a dig at him as well, as they tweeted, “after reviewing your photo from before the draft… we agree.”

Interestingly, this Twitter conversation has gone viral now and has become one of the trending topics on social media and other platforms. Later the US Open jokingly posted a tweet, which said, “definitely don’t google “us open seahawks” right now.”

They also put another tweet posting that famous Michael Jordan meme.

Kyrgios, who is currently focusing on singles matches at the Wimbledon Championships, probably had no idea about the whole drama, as it all began with his incredible tweener serve. Speaking about the drama, we saw plenty yesterday between him and Tsitsipas. During the second set, the Greek player hit a ball in the crowd, and Kyrgios wanted him disqualified from the match. Hence, he called the supervisor and said some harsh words to the chair umpire.

Even though the match ended with Kyrgios celebrating in the end, the drama did not stop there. Later in the press conference, Tsitsipas called the Aussie player a ‘bully’, and in reply, Kyrgios further criticized him. Nevertheless, the Aussie player is through to the fourth round, as week 2 of Wimbledon has already started.
