Battle-hardened and professional on court, mellow and serene off it - for one day at least - Nick Kyrgios reckons it’s victory or bust at Wimbledon now.
Ajla Tomljanovic beats Alize Cornet 4-6 6-4 6-3Nick Kyrgios and Ajla Tomljanovi are through to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, while fellow Australian Alex de Minaur crashed out in five-set slug fest.
The world No. 40 will face Cristian Garin of Chile next, and the door to his first Grand Slam semi-final is wide open.Asked how he had shrugged off fierce criticism aimed his way by people such as former champion and fellow Australian Pat Cash“I almost just wake up and read things, and I just laugh. And I never forget things, whether it was three, four years ago, things that just stick with me. I have a massive chip on my shoulder.
The unseeded Australian had beaten Cornet in a topsy-turvy three-setter at last year’s championships, and Monday’s encounter was no less eventful as both players kept being broken.
