'Nadal too boring' Wimbledon fans hit out at BBC schedule as Nick Kyrgios snubbed

Wimbledon fans have shared their frustrations as the BBC snubbed Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas' popcorn match for Rafael Nadal. Viewers slammed the Spaniard's match against Lorenzo Sonego as "boring" while calling for the broadcaster to air the Aussie's match against the fourth seed.

Kyrgios and Tsitsipas are facing off for the fifth time in their careers in one of the most exciting matches of the men's draw at Wimbledon so far. The pair are deep in battle in the second set but viewers at home have been unable to watch the blockbuster third round after the BBC chose to air Nadal's match against Sonego, where the second seed is crusing with a set-and-break lead.

And fans have aired their grievances with the broadcaster for showing a "boring" match instead of the fiery showdown, in which Kyrgios has already hit out at the umpire and played several tweener shots. "Why isn't the BBC plying the match? Nadal's match is so boring #Kyrgios," one viewer tweeted.

Another ranted: "Are BBC contractually obliged to put Nadal on or something? There's a cracker between kyrgios and tsitsipas on court 1 but they decide to put nadal's walkover match on BBC 1."
