An audacious under-arm ace and the second-fastest serve in tennis history haven't been enough to spare Nick Kyrgios from a drama-charged second-round Wimbledon loss to Rafael Nadal
An audacious under-arm ace and the second-fastest serve in tennis history haven't been enough to spare Nick Kyrgios from a drama-charged second-round Wimbledon loss to Rafael Nadal
5 July 2019
In a gripping encounter Nadal has avenged his stunning defeat to Kyrgios on centre court five years ago with a four sets triumph.
A series of verbal jousts between the two, chiefly Kyrgios's taunting of the "super salty" Spaniard and Nadal's "idiot" Uncle Toni in an explosive podcast, had dominated the build-up.
Nadal is just relieved to close out the third and fourth sets in tie breaks and advance to the third round.
He says he's very happy to win two tie breaks against Kyrgios which is so difficult to do.
TENNIS WITH CROWN FORKLIFTS. WHEN IT COMES TO FORKLIFTS, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A CROWN.
