(27,843 posts)Kyrgios is throwing a bunch of tantrums and they are all over that. Annoying, plus that match has Chris Fowler, who simply should never broadcast tennis.

Sadly fans pay to watch outbursts. They are cheering him on.

(27,843 posts)He's had it. But I waited two and a half hours for Rafa's match to start and now instead I have to watch this brat jabbering at the chair umpire and doing things like bowing to the crowd after a lucky drop shot.

(101,390 posts)Kyrgios is the better behaved by now.

(27,843 posts)The first time it was an accident and the second time he was justifiably angry and just hit it really hard. The crowd kept yelling through his serve and Kyrgios kept chattering at him. This is Wimbledon, fer Crissake. They need to control that crowd better.

(101,390 posts)so the officials didn't see it that way. Obviously the first was not an accident - play was over (but not the match), and he hit the ball, on purpose, straight into the crowd. There wasn't any justification for the second time; though he might say he hit it at the scoreboard, not the crowd.
Kyrgios got a deserved warning for swearing, but not at Tsitsipas.
