Nick Kyrgios' dad scolds Wimbledon officials for double standards after fresh fine

Nick Kyrgios' dad has taken aim at Wimbledon officials for not defaulting Stefanos Tsitsipas during the heated contest on Saturday night. While Rafael Nadal's match with Lorenzo Sonego took centre stage at the weekend, it was Kyrgios' match against Tsitsipas which grabbed the attention of tennis fans all over the world.

All four previous matches between the pair had produced fireworks with their most recent coming at the Halle Open last month. And the spectacle failed to disappoint from the very start of the match with Kyrgios playing up to the raucous crowd with a tweener and an underarm serve through his legs.

Even though Kyrgios began berating line judges behind him, with two going up to umpire Damien Dumusois to complain of obscene language, the Wimbledon crowd maintained their support for the Aussie. That soon began to irk Tsitsipas in the second set and he reacted by smashing a ball into the crowd, which appeared to narrowly avoid hitting a spectator.

Kyrgios immediately called for his opponent to be defaulted from the match afterwards, calling for more supervisors on the court to discuss it further. He refused to play until the matter was resolved as the match soon turned into a circus.
