Nick Kyrgios accepts challenge from Stefanos Tsitsipas – revenge after bizarre Wimbledon duel

“Nick Kyrgios, I challenge you to come here,” Tsitsipas explained in a video and invited the Australian to his Greek homeland. “I want revenge – and this time no talk,” said the 24-year-old, his only condition for the duel.

Tsitsipas was referring to Kyrgios’ behavior at Wimbledon.

In July, the clash between the two escalated in the third round of the Grand Slam tournament. Kyrgios shouted across the pitch, insulted the line judges – and even demanded his opponent’s disqualification.

Tsitsipas reacted angrily again and threw a few balls brutally hard on Kyrgios’ body when he was on the net.

Disciplinary penalties for Kyrgios and Tsitsipas

Kyrgios finally prevailed that evening (6:2, 6:4, 6:3, 7:6). Nevertheless, there was a stale aftertaste: both stars received a disciplinary penalty of several thousand euros.

Apparently, the 27-year-old Australian, who ultimately lost to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, also wants to bury the hatchet and accepted the challenge: “Let’s tackle this revenge. When and where and how much?” Kyrgios wanted in a story on Instagram and thus promises a revenge between the two stars.
