Earlier this season, Nick Kyrgios pulled out of the French Open to focus on the grass-court season. That move seems to make sense as the Australian tennis star has equaled his best performance at the Wimbledon Championships. Yesterday, he overcame the challenge of Brandon Nakashima to advance into the quarterfinals at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

Earlier in the tournament, Kyrgios knocked out the fourth seed, Stefanos Tsitsipas in one of the most thrilling matches at this year’s Wimbledon. The match had it all, with Kyrgios losing his cool on multiple occasions and arguing with the officials. Additionally, Tsitsipas also vented his frustration and smashed the ball into the crowd during the match. Recently, Pat Cash, the former Australian tennis player, called out his compatriot for his antics.

Pat Cash on Nick Kyrgios’ behavior during matches

The 57-year-old slammed Kyrgios for his unsportsmanlike behavior during matches. He said, “He’s brought tennis to the lowest level I can see as far as gamesmanship, cheating, manipulation, abuse, aggressive behavior to umpires, to linesmen. Something has got to be done about it. It’s just an absolute circus.”

As a result of his behavior, Kyrgios has received fines on multiple occasions at the ongoing Wimbledon Championships. Earlier, in the first round, he spat toward a spectator after the match, as Kyrgios claimed the spectator was ‘disrespectful’ towards him. However, he received a fine of USD 10,000 as a result of his actions. Additionally, the 27-year-old got a penalty of $4000 for audible obscenity during his match against Tsitsipas.
