Nick Kyrgios proved once more that he could be a very dangerous opponent on grass, defeating fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.Coming into the contest as a slight favorite, the former World No. 13 lost the first set in a tight tie-breaker. But just when fans were wondering if it would be another instance of the mercurial Australian flattering to deceive, he stepped up his game to take the next three sets and secure passage to the next round with a 6-7(2), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(7) scoreline.The match had its fair share of controversy, with both Kyrgios and Tsitsipas constantly complaining to the chair umpire repeatedly about the other's behavior. The 27-year-old was of the opinion that Tsitsipas should have been disqualified after he hit the ball angrily into the crowd, while the World No. 5 was infuriated by Kyrgios' constant interaction with the crowd in the midst of the match.Wimbledon@WimbledonStefanos Tsitsipas vs Nick Kyrgios: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝘾𝙪𝙩#Wimbledon78196Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Nick Kyrgios: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝘾𝙪𝙩#Wimbledon https://t.co/ySHotqt9fIDespite what transpired off the tennis court, the action on the court was just as exciting, as tennis fans flooded social media with their messages of praise for the World No. 40. As annoyed as they were with the Australian's antics, users on Twitter reluctantly admitted that his playstyle was one of the most entertaining on the men's tour at the moment.To be fair, not everyone shared that opinion, as the former World No. 13 also earned a lot of criticism for the way he behaved during the clash. But for once, those were in the minority, as most fans were captivated by the sensational sight of Nick Kyrgios playing at his very best."There’s not much better in terms of top level sport than watching Nick Kyrgios performing at his best in a tennis Grand slam!
