Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios is one of the most famous players on the Tour. He is one of a kind and certainly knows how to win the crowds and get them on his side. With each passing year, his fan base keeps on increasing.

This is not the first time the Greek player has done such a thing. In the past too, players have picked on him for similar reasons. Taking note of this, Kyrgios stated, “How many number 2’s does this guy take?” Following him, even Milos Raonic stated, “Andy is right.” 

Speaking of the match, it was great to see Andy compete against the best players in the game once again. During most of the match, it was Murray who dominated the scenes and was up by two sets to one. However, those breaks did cause a disruption in his momentum.

Next up for the Australian ace were the Wimbledon Championships. After winning his first couple of matches, Nick was forced to withdraw midway through his match as his troubles with the shoulder began affecting his rhythm. However, we wish him the very best for the rest of the season.
