Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon overnight, his 21st Grand Slam victory, against Australian Nick Kyrgios.
Kyrgios won the first of the four sets, played over a gruelling three hours. But as Djokovic advanced, Kyrgios lost his cool and, in the end, the match.
The Australian lost his temper at his own supporters, the chair umpire and, as has become tradition, the crowd.
After the match, Djokovic praised Kyrgios’ raw talent, calling him a phenomenal tennis player. But what’s next for this prodigious and erratic talent?
Today on Please Explain, sports journalist Jake Niall joins Bianca Hall to discuss Kyrgios, who he has called tennis' principle disruptor. Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. |
