Nick Kyrgios spits at fan at Wimbledon 2022

 

 

Despite beating British No. 8 Paul Jubb in a first-round Wimbledon match on Tuesday with a score of 3-6, 6-1, 7-5, 6-7 (3-7), 7-5, it was once again Nick Kyrgios’ provocative behavior that was making headlines.

 

After the first-round encounter, many spectators recorded Kyrgios spitting at the crowd, and they later uploaded the videos to social media. The altercation happened following the victory point, and the Australian player was furious with the crowd for what he perceived as their contempt throughout.

 

In the post-match news conference, Kyrgios was eager to justify his behavior, acknowledging that he had done it on purpose and saying: “I would not be doing it to someone who was supporting me.”
