"Only Nick Kyrgios decided: the rules are not rules for him" - Tsitsipas' mother on their clash

| by Sebastian Dahlman

This year's Wimbledon included a contentious match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios, which Stefanos' mother recently discussed.

Julia Apostoli, Tsitsipas' mother, constantly keeps an eye on him as he pursues a tennis career. She attended his match against Nick Kyrgios in London. The players got into a heated argument and Tsitsipas found it difficult to maintain his composure as he should have.

During a recent interview, she mentioned that "they don't know how to play dirty tennis" and that's also one of the reasons why Stefanos Tsitsipas eventually lost. Speaking more about his clash with Nick Kyrgios, Julia Apostoli said:

"Our match turned out to be very nervous with Nick Kyrgios," Julia Apostoli said in an interview with championat.com. "That is, we were offered to play dirty tennis practically there, and we can't play such tennis. That's why Styopa (Stefanos Tsitsipas) lost his temper and left the court without getting away."

"The only person who makes him completely confused is Nick Kyrgios. Styopa still grew up in a sports family. His grandfather is an Olympic football champion. And there are some things in sports that can't be ignored. That is, 100 years have passed since the Olympic movement exists. And in 100 years, no one has encroached on it. And only Nick decided: the rules are not rules for him. And even more so in tennis. Tennis is a very stiff look."
