“Play COD With My Girlfriend”: Nick Kyrgios After His Epic Wimbledon Championships 2021 R1 Win
Nick Kyrgios has yet again provided a game full of entertainment for the fans at the Wimbledon. After a late night curfew forced the first round match to get suspended, Kyrgios and Ugo Humbert took to court today. They made sure that the fans get their money’s worth. The two players resumed play, at 3-3 in the fifth set and Kyrgios won 9-7.
The fifth set was full of drama, as Kyrgios slipped and fell on the court, shouting in pain. The theatre skills were at display for only a few minutes, as the Aussie was back on his feet. The crowd certainly found this funny, as everyone tickled a bone.

Nick Kyrgios providing words of pure gold after the match
Nick Kyrgios charged up after his final point. A fierce game, which ended up as 9-7, was a bit too much for a first round game. Both players went neck to neck, as the five setter thriller ended with Kyrgios launching a ball into the stands.
“I was in so much pain physically after last night, been a long time since I’ve played… I’m using this as a change of scenery really. I’m gonna go to the hotel, play some Call of Duty with my girlfriend and come back out again!,” said Kyrgios after his match.
Many players practice for hours and rest well before a game, whereas Kyrgios is a different breed. He will be back for the second round match on Friday.
Kyrgios shouting in pain after his fall
Nick Kyrgios raised a few eyebrows, when he slipped during the fifth set. He is the latest player to experience a slip on the grass court, after Novak Djokovic made headlines for his fall. The Aussie screamed in pain, “Ah, f***’,” as he slipped at the backline. However, the World No60 was back on his feet, and continued in some fashion to win the match.
Just yesterday, Kyrgios was complaining about the grass on the court, and called it a joke. The Aussie did not like the condition of the court, and wanted Wimbledon to bring back grass.

Nick Kyrgios will be playing in the mixed doubles category as well, as he partners with Venus Williams. The man will be back in action on court, and will be hoping of a good run at SW19.
