Venus and Kyrgios both had angry outbursts in their mixed doubles match. However, they had many moments where they shared a laugh as well. On the scoreboard, they had taken the first set but were pegged back in the second. However, they complimented each other and picked up the win.

?When a point is done, she completely moves on. She doesn?t dwell on anything that?s happened in the past. I guess that?s what?s helped her have so much success. That?s why she?s such a great champion.”?Kyrgios said.

It is brilliant to see the Williams sisters and Kyrgios associated in some way. The sisters are legends and Kyrgios himself is a great entertainer, so it has certainly made Wimbledon’s return even more memorable.
