Wimbledon: Nick Kyrgios fights back to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in heated third-round match
Once his meeting with Tsitsipas was confirmed, Kyrgios predicted an "amazing" match, assuming both of them managed to play to their potential.
It led the incensed Kyrgios to demand for the supervisor to determine if the Greek should be defaulted from the match. Instead, Tsitsipas received only a warning. When Kyrgios served for the third set, Tsitsipas hit a ball into his chest and won the point but the Australian then benefited from two fortuitous net cords. After the first, he apologised to Tsitsipas. After the second, he bowed to the crowd and lapped up the applause, moments before a serve-volley sealed the third set.
But news of his $10,000 fine for his conduct in his opening match, in which he admitted to spitting in the direction of a spectator, served as a reminder of why his undoubted ability - particularly on grass - is not always the main focus.
