London — Even on a day when court action was exemplary, Nick Kyrgios couldn't resist poking at the rules of authority and Wimbledon's pure white clothing.
The 27-year-old Australian has been fined twice in the tournament so far, wearing a red trainer in the fourth round against Brandon Nakashima on Monday at the Center Court. After walking around, you may be subject to another fine.
He played in white shoes, but five sets of wins returned to red shoes, and during an interview on his court he wore a red hat and white shoes during the match. rice field.
Then asked why the player deliberately broke the rule that all white must be worn on the court, and the Australian responded casually.
"I'll do what I want to do," said Kyrgios, who made his first appearance in the quart final since his 2014 debut.
I asked if I felt I was over the rules I added: "No, I'm not over the rules." I like to wear Jordan. It's okay. I'll be wearing triple white tomorrow.
Kyrgios was fined a total of $ 14,000 for two offenses. After he won the first round, he spit on his fans and then swore in a fierce third clash with Stefanos Tsitsipas. (Report by Martyn Herman, edited by Ken Ferris)
