Wimbledon: So many people will be upset I'm in the last eight, says Nick Kyrgios

The 27-year-old Australian's fiery third-round win over Stefanos Tsitsipas led to his opponent branding him a bully with an evil side as again Kyrgios's antics polarised opinion. Forty-eight hours later, however, Kyrgios was a model of maturity, barely uttering a word in anger as he shrugged off a stiff shoulder and not having his A-game to reach his third Grand Slam quarter-final with a 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-2 win over Nakashima.

Composed and mature Nick Kyrgios opens up on his metamorphosis
