Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios exchanged a lot of words after their third-round match at the 2022 Wimbledon and apparently both had different opinions on what happened.

While the Australian believes that he's done nothing wrong and "the circus was all about Tsitsipas", his greek opponent has a different opinion. Stefanos Tsitsipas thinks that Kyrgios' behaviour is repetitive and disrespectful. Moreover, he admitted that he attempted to his his opponent during the match to stop what was going on.

"I was aiming for the body of my opponent but I missed by a lot."

Obviously, the Greek was aiming at his opponent's body more times during the match and after admitting to it at the press conference, he got asked a follow-up question demanding the reason for his actions.

"Just to stop. This needs to stop, it's not okay. Someone needs to sit down with him and talk. I don't know what to say. There's frustration behind that for sure. I'm not used to play this way. But I can't just sit there and act like a robot and act like someone who is completely cold and ignorant."
