'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 painkillers and huge support from the Wimbledon fans helped considerably as he found his rhythm and fought off the doughty American in the fifth set to continue his impeccable record in matches that go all the way at the famous event. The 27-year-old will next take on Cristian Garin of Chile in the quarter-finals on Wednesday, and he was full of praise for Nakashima after the marathon match.

“Hell of an effort from Brandon," Kyrgios said in his on-court interview. «He’s a hell of a player and he’s going to do some special things, that’s for sure. “It wasn’t anywhere near my best performance level-wise, but super happy to get through.

I fought really hard today and it was special stepping out here once again. “I played a lot of tennis in the last month and a half, and I’m proud of the way that I steadied the ship. He came back firing in the fourth set, his level didn’t drop.
