Things got heated in the third-round match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios at the 2022 Wimbledon.
In the last game of the second set, Stefanos Tsitsipas hit the ball into the crowd in anger and hit one of the fans. Therefore, Nick Kyrgios asked for his Greek opponent to be defaulted and things got quite heated then.
In the third set, Tsitsipas hit the ball into the crowd once again and this time, he received a point penalty. During the match, the Greek also complained about his opponent using his spot for the towel, but that issue was quickly solved.
After multiple exchanges, Tsitsipas had a few shots when he seemed to be aiming the ball at Kyrgios. And although it's not forbidden to do that during the play, it's definitely unsportsmanlike if it's done.
Yet, it happens in any regular match now and then. However, the Greek player tried hitting his opponent more times in a row until he finally managed to hit him right in the chest.
