Kyrgios quickly regained his focus in the fifth set, targeting Nakashima's forehand to great effect to gain an early break. However, playing against Kyrgios on a big occasion is never easy, and the Australian showed why in a much-improved second-set display. Nakashima refused to go away in the fourth set, though. The six-time tour-level champion, who had regular physio treatments on his shoulder, will next play Chilean Cristian Garin as he looks to break new ground and reach his first Grand Slam singles semi-final. It was anywhere near my best performance, but I fought really hard and I am super happy to get through,” Kyrgios said in his on-court interview. The World No. 40 hammered 78 winners and broke the 20-year-old Nakashima's serve three times to improve to 11-2 on grass in 2022.

“I just want to continue to do the right things physically, professionally. I kind of just wanted to throw him off a little bit. “In the past I wasn’t able to kind of enjoy that. I knew he was in a rhythm. It’s just something I manage. “I’ll keep having the same mentality, taking one match at a time. My agent had to come get me before I played my match on Centre Court.

NICK KYRGIOS has been warned after reaching the Wimbledon quarter-final.
Woodbridge was impressed with how Kyrgios battled hard to defeat Nakashima. “When he more or less gave his service game away at the end of the fourth I got really concerned,” Woodbridge said. “I think all credit to him, this is a match where he came in as the favourite, there was much more pressure on him. However, Kyrgios put on his red shoes and cap after defeating the American 6-4 4-6 6-7 6-3 2-6.

Kyrgios suffers a shoulder injury in his last-16 match against Brandon Nakashima but battles through five sets to reach the quarters.
That did not stop him fighting his way back for a tie-break, despite continually needing medical treatment in between games, in the third set. The pain relief was obviously short-lived nonetheless; with seven games of the third set down, he added: “It’s not going away, at all”. It did not throw him off, though, as he powered past Nakashima with an ace and held to seal the set. Umpire Nico Helwerth had been watching him and after consultation with the physio, he was no longer the deflated Kyrgios that had looked in danger of retiring before the second set was out, also nursing his lower back. A lob that should have troubled Nakashima was overhit too and in turn, Kyrgios’ opponent went for the ace to test just how well the Australian would hold up. Yet from the moment the Australian began clutching his shoulder, he was moving gingerly and chinks in his armour had started to show.
Kyrgios has drawn critics for his approach to the game at the 2022 edition but the Aussie firebrand insists that he is at least taking the tournament seriously.

NICK KYRGIOS always gets people talking and it's been no different at Wimbledon 2022...
Is that even partly why you tune in to watch him in action at Wimbledon? Or have you had enough of his antics and want him to taste defeat in the quarter-finals? His behaviour tends to resonate more with the younger audience and more casual fans seeking entertainment outside of the ball-hitting action. A third reader slammed his lack of respect for the sport: "Got no manners [or] no respect for the game. And it's been no different at Wimbledon, where he continued his run on Monday by progressing to the quarter-finals. Despicable and a disgrace to the sport." Another had hoped Nakashima put an end to Kyrgios' winning run at the All England Club. "I hope Nakashima thrashes him, despite all Kyrgios' delaying tactics," they said.

A police statement said: "ACT Policing can confirm a 27-year-old Watson man is scheduled to face the ACT Magistrates' Court on 2 August in relation to one charge of common assault following an incident in December 2021." Kyrgios is now scheduled to appear at the Australia Capital Territory Magistrates' Court on 2 August.

When it was put to the player that he had merely "laughed off" this latest controversy, Kyrgios almost taunted officials in his response. After winning the Australian Open men's doubles crown with Thanasi Kokkinakis earlier this year, he has another chance to hush his critics in London. "'Competitors must be dressed in suitable tennis attire that is almost entirely white, and this applies from the point in which the player enters the court surround.

NICK KYRGIOS has been accompanied by his girlfriend - Costeen Hatzi - at every practice session during his time at Wimbledon.
Hatzi has even had exclusive access to Aorangi Park to step onto the courts with Kyrgios and join in the practice sessions.

The Australian is through to the quarter-finals of the men's singles competition at the All England Club where he will face Cristian Garín.
His estimated net worth is only a fraction of some of the biggest stars in men’s tennis with defending world champion and number one seed Novak Djokovic’s net worth estimated at $220 million (USD). Kyrgios also reached the quarter-final of his home tournament, the Australian Open, in 2015 but has only ever made it as far as the third round in the French Open and US Open. Kyrgios has won six ATP titles and has reached nine ATP finals, including a Masters 1000 final at the 2017 Cincinnati Masters, but has yet to make his mark at a Grand Slam event.

If he gets defaulted out of a tournament, he will love it, irrespective if it's a Grand Slam opportunity to win it. After that triumph, he was ordered to pay a £3,337 ($4,000) fine for bad language. After defeating the American in a closely-fought encounter, Kyrgios slipped the trainers back on and showed further disregard by bearing a bright red cap to match for his on-court interview. Kyrgios' behaviour goes beyond defying the dress code at SW19; he has received fines after two of his four Wimbledon matches so far this year. He defeated 20-year-old Brandon Nakashima in five sets to progress through the fourth round but made more headlines from his antics before and after the match. So Kyrgios caught the eye as he entered the sacred Centre Court turf to face Nakashima while donning bright red Nike trainers.
