Wimbledon'She's a snitch!' — Kyrgios slams line judge with 'no fans' in row at Wimbledon3 HOURS AGO “You have to tell them, though," he said at a changeover. «They have to be respectful. They are spectators who pay money to watch us play.

They should be removed. »Like, I don’t go up to them in their nine-to-five or get up in their face when they’re scanning s*** in the supermarket, do I? "'Oh, booo! Yeah, now everything thinks you’re s***!' Do I say that? They have no right to do that. Why does it keep happening? "[You] should remove them from the crowd.

So spectators who disrespect an athlete is acceptable, but you don't accept a hat with two logos. But pure disrespect [towards] athletes is fine. Where is the line? If that’s acceptable, then racism is acceptable… where does it stop? Where is the line, you know what I mean? «What is it? I don’t know.

It’s been happening for years now. Years. I would say the same thing — if they were clapping between his first and second serves or saying racial slurs, then I would say the same thing.” /> It was not the only time Kyrgios lost his temper with the umpire early on as he ranted about fans and officials during the match on Court 3.
