"It's constant bullying, he bullies opponents" - Tsitsipas on Kyrgios after drama-filled match

| by Kadir Macar

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios played a high-quality third-round match full of drama at the 2022 Wimbledon and both had a lot to say afterwards.

The match had everything. Beautiful rallies, ton of emotions and loud crowd getting behind both players. However, it also featured moments which a fan doesn't really want to see on a tennis court. Everything started when Stefanos Tsitsipas hit the ball in anger after losing the second set and Nick Kyrgios wanted him to be disqualified.

Then a series of events started, including another ball which was sent by Tsitsipas to the crowd as well as his shots which were aimed at his Australian opponent. After the match, the Greek commented on what happened as well as his opponent.

"It was really bad from my side. For his part, all the circus show going on on the other side of the net started to become very tiring. It didn't hit any people, thank God. For sure I'm never doing that again. But something created that behaviour. You get tired of it. The constant talking. The constant complaining. We're there to play tennis, not to have dialogues."

"It's constant bullying. He bullies opponents. He was probably a bully in school, too.... He has a very evil side to him. This needs to stop. It's not okay. Someone needs to sit down with him and talk. I cannot just sit there and act like a robot."
