The two did shake hands at the net after the match but it was a cursory one at best, with Tsitsipas quickly heading off court.Ī foul-mouthed Kyrgios had labelled the umpire a 'disgrace' after he refused to default Tsitsipas, who hit a backhand into the stands which narrowly missed a female spectator after losing the second set.
I'm liked in the locker room, he is not.' Apart from going back and forth with the umpire, I did nothing disrespectful towards him. He was the one that was hitting balls at me,' he said. Kyrgios had said he 'loved' Tsitsipas and had 'huge respect' for him in his on-court interview after his 6-7, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 win but hit back at his opponent in response to the bullying comment. 'It's constant bullying,' the Greek said. Tsitsipas did not hold back in his opinion of Kyrgios, slamming the world No 40 as a 'bully' who had an 'evil' side to him. 'He's a really aggressive player which I think is really good.' 'It was a fiery encounter,' they said. 'Kyrgios, he definitely battled, and he came through, clearly. Tennis coaches and brothers Alex and Will Page, both from Twickenham, said the players' intense dislike for one another was clear from the side-lines.
It was like Ilie Nastase. The crowd was booing, that never used to happen.' 'Roger Federer would never act like that. 'I had a message from my daughters when we were there, and they said 'it's getting like a football match' too. Ms Morton agreed, adding: 'It was just a grudge match, and it could have been nasty. Ms Dewhurst said she thought Kyrgios was 'play-acting' and lying on the ground for minutes after a fall 'like a football player'. Retired Asda event coordinators from Birkenhead, Merseyside, Wendy Dewhurst, 69, and Carol Morton, 68, said that they are hearing impaired but the crowd was so loud it even felt 'booming' to them.
