Kyrgios shouting in pain after his fall

Kyrgios raised a few eyebrows when he slipped during the fifth set. He is the latest player to experience a slip on the grass-court after Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic made headlines for their tumbles. The Aussie screamed in pain, “Ah, f***’,” as he slipped at the backline. However, the World No60 was back on his feet and continued in some fashion to win the match.

Just yesterday, Kyrgios was complaining about the grass on the court, calling it a joke.
