Nick Kyrgios is fired up over a call that he says simply 'doesn't make sense.' tennis wimbledon
But it's a whole different ball game at SW19 compared to Melbourne Park, where the doubles was played over best-of-three sets.
"To be honest, I'm not really looking forward to playing best-of-five sets doubles," Kyrgios said at his pre-tournament media conference."I don't know why it's best-of-five sets."Kyrgios made a run to the quarter finals at the All-England club as a teenager in 2014, where he beat Rafael Nadal, which remains his best grand slam performance.
It's why he's never previously played in the men's doubles at Wimbledon, preferring instead to focus on his singles campaign. "No-one wants to play best-of-five sets doubles, no-one wants to watch best-of-five sets doubles," Kyrgios said. "I'm excited, but I'm also dreading the fact that if it's one-set all I'm going to have to be playing three more sets of doubles."That's why I haven't played it before, it doesn't make sense because I've always gone pretty well here in singles.Wimbledon will be live and free on Nine, with every point from every match on Stan Sport.
