Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios is one of the most famous players on the Tour. He is one of a kind and certainly knows how to win the crowds and get them on his side. With each passing year, his fan base keeps on increasing.
Yesterday, Nick Kyrgios came across the match played between his friend Andy Murray and Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas. During the match, Stefanos took a longer-than-usual time out. His decision to do so shifted the momentum of the match. Prior to that, Andy was cruising comfortably.

This is not the first time the Greek player has done such a thing. In the past too, players have picked on him for similar reasons. Taking note of this, Kyrgios stated, “How many number 2’s does this guy take?” Following him, even Milos Raonic stated, “Andy is right.”
Speaking of the match, it was great to see Andy compete against the best players in the game once again. During most of the match, it was Murray who dominated the scenes and was up by two sets to one. However, those breaks did cause a disruption in his momentum.
Reflecting on Kyrgios, he lost in the opening round to Roberto Bautista Agut. Due to that, his run at the Grand Slams has come to an end for this season.
Speaking on his season, Kyrgios began competing in Australia at the Australian Open. He was making a return after almost a year of being on the sidelines. His journey came to an end in the third round.
Next up for the Australian ace were the Wimbledon Championships. After winning his first couple of matches, Nick was forced to withdraw midway through his match as his troubles with the shoulder began affecting his rhythm. However, we wish him the very best for the rest of the season.
