Wimbledon'Not right' — Kyrgios spitting towards fan in shock Wimbledon incident baffles SchettA DAY AGO Kyrgios' behaviour was in stark contrast to his showing in the previous round, when he repeatedly fired off at the umpire and fans, before later admitting that he spat towards one spectator. «I think just getting over the line in that first round was massive,» he said. «But, you know, I’ve been playing some really good tennis over the last month, and I was really surprised with the way I played the other day — I wasn’t great.

»But there were a lot of positives. I didn’t play anywhere near my best [against Paul Jubb] and got through it. Today, I was kind of obviously in my zone — great body language, just played well.

«I just wanted to remind everyone that I’m pretty good. I’m just happy. We’ve been working hard, and as I’ve said, we’ve been preparing for this tournament.

»It’s been circled on my calendar pretty much all year, and I’m so excited to be here again. It’s generally a tournament I think is my best chance to win a Grand Slam out of all the four. «So I think if I just keep taking it match by match — I’ve still got an incredibly tough draw.
