Nick Kyrgios is a man who knows how to make headlines and wearing a red hat during the 2022 Wimbledon final was no exception.
After losing to Novak Djokovic in four sets, Kyrgios took to the court wearing a bright red hat during the trophy ceremony, a clear violation of Wimbledon's strict all-white dress code.
Although it may appear that Kyrgios is a troublemaker, his stunt might have sent a bigger message than it appeared. Shortly after the last year's Wimbledon, the tournament organizers announced that they will be relaxing their all-white underwear rule for female players, something to what the Australian may have contributed during the trophy ceremony.
On the latest episode of the Impaulsive podcast, Kyrgios revealed how much he got fined for wearing that famous red hat during the trophy ceremony, as he said:
"The personalities in tennis are a bit inside of the box. And I just feel like, I'm not doing anything crazy, but I can't walk the line too much, because they would just suspend me and I need to play. I wore a red hat and red shoes for the presentation and I got fined I think almost 10 grand as well ($10,000)."
