'I need a glass of wine for sure tonight!' - Nick Kyrgios reacts as stunning Wimbledon run continues

Nick Kyrgios was left delighted and very much in need of a glass of wine after he continued his hugely impressive run at Wimbledon on Monday. The unseeded Australian won through to the quarter-finals at the All England Club with a back-and-forth 6-4 4-6 7-6(2) 3-6 6-2 victory over Brandon Nakashima of the USA on Centre Court. Ad/> With the match being on Centre as opposed to Court 1, the atmosphere was less raucous than his fiery and dramatic clash with Stefanos Tsitsipas on Saturday evening, but the crowd still roared on Kyrgios as he took another step at SW19.

But with some hefty swipes of a garish coral-coloured racquet on Court One, the American finally earned his family stripes by reaching the quarter-finals of the grasscourt Grand Slam.

Kyrgios beats Nakashima to reach Wimbledon quarter-finals

With Kyrgios's bad-tempered Court One victory over fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas still the talk of the town, the Australian was on his best behaviour in front of the Royal Box as he ground out a 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-2 win. Unseeded Chilean Cristian Garin awaits in the last eight, offering Kyrgios a golden opportunity to surpass his quarter-final run at Wimbledon on his debut in 2014.

Why are there so many empty seats at Wimbledon this year?

Millions of desperate local fans usually compete with those living in far-flung places such as the United States, Australia and India to get their hands on Wimbledon tickets which are considered as gold dust. The chance to enter the 13.5-acre, leafy-green grounds of the All England Club and see players such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and the Williams sisters battle it out for the most famous trophies in tennis has attracted growing numbers in recent years.
