In today’s match, the crowd was understandably behind the British player Paul Jubb during his match against the Australian. However, Kyrgios did not like the booing of the crowd and asked the umpire to take a decision regarding the same.

“They have no right to do that, why is it still happening? You should remove them from the crowd. Booing is acceptable at Wimbledon? You don’t accept a hat with two logos on but you accept disrespect of an athlete. Where does it stop, where is the line? It has been going on all the time,” Kyrgios said to the chair umpire.

Earlier in the match, the Aussie star reacted angrily to the crowd, talking in between points. “You can’t f***ing decide to talk to me in the middle of the point when I’m about to do a backhand,” the Aussie player said.
