Break Point (2023) s01e06 Episode Script

1
[energetic music]
- [commentator 1] Hello and welcome.
- [commentator 2] Tennis is back.
[commentator 3] Four majors.
Hundreds of tournaments.
[commentator 4] Competing
all over the world for a place in history.
[Felix] We've been blessed
with a decade of greatness.
We can't just wait for them to retire.
[Taylor] It's the biggest match
of my life.
[announcer] Rafael Nadal!
[commentator] It is a day
he will remember for the rest of his life.
[Taylor] That winning feeling
is the best feeling.
[Nick] My tennis career
depends on how I play this year.
He's like a part-time tennis player.
It's like a hobby.
[commentator 1] Oh, that is filthy tennis!
[commentator 2] Kyrgios and Kokkinakis
have teamed up in the doubles.
[commentator 1] From childhood friends
to Grand Slam winners.
[Ons] I'm a dreamer
and my dream is to win a major title.
[commentator] The trailblazer from
Tunisia, champion of a WTA 1000 event.
Getting this title makes me believe
that I can win a Grand Slam.
[Courtney] Tennis players
are notoriously self-centered.
[Matteo] I have to sleep.
What are you talking about?
- Where should I go?
- Somewhere else.
Okay, I'm gonna find a business center.
I'm gonna say on-air
that you kicked me out.
Okay, but they're gonna agree with me.
I'm still in the Australian Open.
[Ajla] If you're not winning
the event, you're a loser every week.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
It's easy. I just retire.
Tennis really pushes you to the limit.
Jumping around, running up and down.
It does turn up the intensity.
[commentator]
The greatest becomes even greater.
I want to know what that feels like.
Winning.
It's now or never.
[dramatic music]
[silence]
[birds singing]
[grandiose music]
Wimbledon is the most prestigious event
that has ever been known to tennis.
There's this aura about it.
The tranquility of the grass.
The all-white dress code.
And the silence.
Complete silence.
[woman] It's the scene
of the most iconic battles
in the history of tennis.
[Maria]
So much heritage and history.
It's very proper and royal.
[umpire] Conduct warning, Mr. Kyrgios.
I'm not gonna conform
to a bunch of old rules.
I don't care who you are or what you are,
because I know I'm not really accepted.
I'm just hungry now. I'm channeling it.
If I win Wimbledon,
it's a middle finger to everyone.
[crowd noise]
[birds singing]
[upbeat music]
[Nick] I'll be able to deliver the
lyrics well, I just need good lyrics.
Like, my voice is not terrible.
- [man] Good to see you.
- I'm thinking about dropping a track.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
If you stick with your tennis,
you should be alright.
You reckon? I was just about to ask
if you wanna be a background dancer.
- [laughing]
- You're in.
I'm just gonna diss
all the legends of the sport.
[laughter]
[energetic music]
My goal this year
was to reinvent myself on the tour.
Whoo! Let's go!
When we won the Australian Open doubles,
I was like, "Look,
if I can do it in doubles,
I can do it in singles."
Court Three?
I'm here to show that I'm one of the best
players in the world. Especially on grass.
- Hey, how you doing?
- Alright, how are you?
[Andy] I don't know any other person
who's won a doubles tournament
and went, "You know what?
Now I can win a singles slam."
That's a leap for me.
The pressure set is not the same.
[Nick] They say, "He can beat anybody,
but he can't be consistent enough
to push for a Grand Slam."
I just want to shut everyone up.
Good serve off the line!
I've never seen him
so focused and motivated.
Put in the work. He's doing the gym work.
He's recovering properly.
Oh, my God, it was on a platter!
He's been talking lately
about the grass court season,
and it's his goal to win Wimbledon.
And I'm like"That's my brother.
That's what I want to hear."
Like, nothing's stopping you
apart from yourself.
Yep.
Coming into Wimbledon,
I want to go out there and try and win it.
Ahh!
It was out.
[Patrick]
All his career so far Nick has said,
"I'm not practicing,
don't expect anything from me,"
because acting that way,
you just take away the pressure.
But now he realizes that
he can maybe win a major.
If he starts to work,
start to be ambitious,
the pressure suddenly takes him.
Wimbledon is unique.
It's the biggest prize in tennis.
[commentator] The first welcome for the
first players of this year's Wimbledon.
[commentator 2]
Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic
arrive as the hot favorites.
[commentator 1] Świątek, the world's
number one, will get us underway.
[umpire] Play.
[tense music]
I think players are most nervous at
Wimbledon than at any other Grand Slam.
There's so much significance.
[umpire] Out!
[commentator 2] Look at Nadal's reaction.
There's so much more pressure.
There's this aura that builds up.
[commentator 1]
Ajla feeling a little tension.
[Ajla]
Almost like you can feel the history.
[Thanasi] There's a lot of things that
you can't really say or can't really do.
[cheering]
[commentator]
Carlos Alcaraz into the second round.
[in Spanish] They call it the cathedral
of tennis for a reason.
[commentator 2]
Ons Jabeur makes short work of it.
Third seed and the world number 2
into the second round.
[commentator 1] Stefanos Tsitsipas.
He's certainly a pretty heavy favorite.
[commentator] Game, Tsitsipas.
[Stefanos] You have to be cold
to build a champion mindset.
You don't want to have the reputation
that you're soft. It's a bad reputation.
[Patrick] Stef is an incredible
player. He played a final of a Grand Slam.
And he's the model of professionalism.
He's super aggressive in terms of wanting
to dictate and be the boss on the court.
[commentator] Oh! That's wondrous tennis.
[announcer]
Game, set, match, Tsitsipas.
[commentator] Is this the start of
something for Stefanos Tsitsipas
on grass at Wimbledon?
[Stefanos] Wimbledon is the tournament
I really love competing at.
I love the tradition.
The atmosphere
and civilized tennis culture
is the highest podium
that tennis has to offer.
The reason I'm here is because I belong
here and I've worked hard to be here.
I want to be the greatest tennis player
of my generation.
[Nick] It's clean, you know?
Everything's so maintained.
Nick Kyrgios, he's a different
kettle of fish, as they say.
I'll show you the court,
what it looks like
- What court is this?
- Court One.
Okay.
[Paul] He fits into Wimbledon like
a snowman in the middle of summer.
Just doesn't work, right?
[Costeen] There's not
one little mark on it.
[Nick] No.
- So all these seats will be sold out?
- Yeah.
[Paul] But Nick also is a competitor.
He's not going to hide who he is.
[Nick] I know what
I bring to the table.
I know that I sell a lot of tickets
and I sell out stadiums
all around the world.
But I know I'm not really accepted.
Especially in the tennis world,
being a white, privileged sport.
When I was young,
I was told that you could only make it
if you ticked these certain boxes.
Being bullied at a young age
because of being short and fat and brown.
It scarred me, for sure.
[soft music playing]
People confuse my confidence
for arrogance at times
because they have no idea
what I've gone through.
Okay.
I want to prove that I deserve to be here.
[electronic music]
[commentator] What a fabulous contest
we have to look forward to.
Young British wildcard called Paul Jubb
and an Australian you'll have
heard of before, Nick Kyrgios.
[Horse] It's gonna be tough.
Is he gonna have
a lot of cheering behind this British kid?
Nick's no longer the underdog,
so there's a lot of pressure.
[commentator] The Briton, he's
a youngster. 219th in the world.
[Nick] I should win pretty easy,
but I've been a wildcard
at my home slam before,
and I know what he's feeling like:
nothing to lose, he's riding the wave,
home crowds
- [umpire] Ready, play.
- It's dangerous.
[umpire] Out!
[commentator] That's a very confident
start for the young Briton.
[umpire] Love-15.
[commentator] There's the break.
[crowd gasps]
There's the frustration.
Code violation: ball abuse.
Warning, Mr. Kyrgios.
Was that necessary? That was needed?
[commentator] The woman
in sunglasses just wandered across
to have a word with Marija Cicak
about something.
[commentator 2] Language that he used.
She just selfishly walks to you
in the middle of the game,
because she's a snitch,
like, come on now.
[commentator 3] A set point.
[umpire] Out!
[commentator 1] Well, well, well.
The 22-year-old British wildcard
Paul Jubb takes the first set.
[Nick] How am I gonna break this guy?
Just scrap. Try and put as many balls in
as possible and just serve.
[umpire] Out!
[commentator 1] It was actually in.
[commentator 2]
The point being given to Nick.
[commentator 1]
He's been shouting a lot today.
[commentator 2] Linesman made a mistake.
It does happen.
[commentator 1] They're level.
Kyrgios wins the second set.
[umpire] Third set.
Yeah!
[umpire]
Game and third set, Kyrgios. Fourth set.
Game and fourth set
[commentator 1]
Jubb rising to the occasion,
and he takes us all into a fifth set.
[commentator 2] I think Kyrgios
struggles with the expectation
when it is his to win.
[Nick] I'm playing so shit.
And the whole world's watching.
It's hard to manage my emotions and focus
on the fact that we're at Wimbledon.
Let's just get through it.
[commentator 1]
Oh might that be the moment
that Nick Kyrgios
takes a grip on this contest?
[commentator 2] Match point.
[umpire] Game, set, match, Kyrgios.
[commentator 1] And the Kyrgios show
earns itself another date.
Nick and his traveling circus
into the second round.
[Nick] That's one of the worst matches
I've played in 3 years, and I somehow won.
The whole crowd, towards the end,
was going for him, and I could feel it.
[woman] Can I just ask, at the end,
you did appear to spit
in the direction of
Of one of the people
disrespecting me? Yes.
[woman] So that was deliberate to show
Yes, I would not be doing that
to someone who was supporting me.
[man 1] You were having a bit of an
interaction with one of the line judges,
and at one point I think you said, "You're
in your nineties. You can't see the ball."
I hit a ball in.
The old man called it out. It was in.
So, arguably, if the guy was 40,
he may not have called that out.
[man 3] Do you have sympathy
with how sometimes they're treated
by players, for example?
They're not getting abused on
social media. Like, I have to deal with
My girlfriend and my family deals
with hate messages,
I deal with hate messages.
- [woman] Okay, thank you very much.
- No worries.
[man] Thank you very much.
The man's out of control. Can you put up
any defense for this antipodean monster?
There's plenty of Australians
who think he's an absolute tool.
The most polarizing figure in tennis
spat at the crowd
and lashed out at match officials.
Tennis officials have finally sent
a stern warning to Nick Kyrgios
for that vile act of spitting, fining him
almost 15,000 Australian dollars.
[George] There he is.
[groaning]
- Hello!
- Nice to see you.
- Good to see you. How was the flight?
- It was pretty good.
You got any chilis?
Where are all the chilis?
- [Horse] In the fridge.
- [George] Good boys.
[Horse] His dad travels once a year,
usually, to Wimbledon, that's his thing.
Wimbledon's a different beast, man.
The pressure is nuts.
You can feel the anxious energy.
Nick likes the comfort of having home
close by, which is Dad's cooking.
- [George] We had some good matches on 18.
- [Nick] 18?
- The one that's right on the sidewalk.
- Court Two.
Court Two's pretty good.
Court Three's good too.
[George] I'm here for Nick,
nothing else matters.
When he's away, he's my first priority.
He's very sensitive, very fragile,
you know.
- [Horse] Where's the olive oil?
- There.
- [George] Where's he going?
- [Horse] He's playing his video game.
[Nick] My dad, I think
he just wants me to be happy.
Because there was times at Wimbledon
where I wasn't in the best head space.
I was pretty bad here three years ago.
[downbeat music]
[Nick] 2019 was the lowest point
of my career.
That pressure, having that
"all eyes on you" expectation,
I couldn't deal with it.
I hated the kind of person I was.
I was drinking, abusing drugs,
lost my relationship with my family,
pushed all my close friends away.
You could tell I was hurting,
my whole arm was covered in scars.
That's why I actually got
my arm sleeve to cover it all.
[Horse] 2019 was tough.
Nick was I mean, yeah. Nick was fucked.
I don't really talk about it with people,
because no one understood what was going
on and no one wanted to hear about it.
Like, he would come up to my room
and he'd be in tears,
"Bro, I don't know what to do, I don't
want to be here." It was just tough.
I was genuinely contemplating
if I wanted to commit suicide.
[Halimah] I just don't know what happened.
I've just never seen someone go through,
and that's why sometimes
My God, I get so upset
when someone says
bad things about him
because they don't know.
[Nick] I lost at Wimbledon.
I woke up and my dad was sitting
next to me on the bed, full-blown crying.
[George] I told him,
"This is not the right path, mate."
"You've got bigger and better things
to chase," you know.
He was in tears.
That was a big wake-up call for me.
I was like,
"Okay, I can't keep doing this."
- No, I did, mate, there's cabbage there.
- Sorry, mate.
I ended up in a psych ward in London
to figure out my problems.
[Horse] I cut up this onion for you.
Where do you want it?
He's not told a soul
what they said in there.
The conversation they had in that room.
No one knows.
This year, he's more focused.
He wants to play, he wants to win.
So I've done my part in the background,
trying to change old routines
so that we don't trigger something
and cause him stress for no reason.
[rhythmic music]
[fans chatter]
[coach] You don't have to rush
to finish the point,
but try to get her back
the ball faster, you know?
Your mentality has to be aggressive,
but no rush to be aggressive.
Choose the right one.
[Ajla] Wimbledon is the tournament
I dreamed of playing when I was a kid.
Whenever someone asked,
"What would you want to win the most?"
it was "Wimbledon."
But this year has not been great.
I wasn't my best self.
You could see it
from my on-court behavior.
I've also split up with Matteo.
Every relationship,
it has good times and bad times.
I could just feel that
things were not right.
[Matteo] We broke up because
in the end, in life, we have to be happy.
And if that is not happening,
I think it's not worth it.
[Ajla] You look for something
that will last a lifetime
and it wasn't meant to be.
Yeah, it's just life that still happens
even though you're a professional athlete.
Last couple of months, Ajla was not
on her mental perfect, perfect place
and we decided that
I will be with her and help her.
- [Ratko] I was using your physio.
- [coach] We saw.
[team laughing]
I have to be ready for match, right?
It's not about you.
I'm glad you're feeling good for today.
I have to be ready for match, right?
I mean, come on.
Yeah, for sitting.
[coach] Yeah, but he stands up also,
for a good point.
I stand up, but there's rarely
a good point from your side,
but when it's good, I stand up.
She's too serious,
and I have to loosen her up a little bit.
[in Croatian] Come on, get lost!
I know you're giving me bunny ears.
[Ratko] She has this idea
to be one of the best,
but sometimes perfectionism
can really hurt your game.
If she can be
a little bit easy on herself,
I think her best tennis
is in front of her.
Going into Wimbledon, I just want to get
that confirmation that I belong here.
[music building]
[commentator] Oh! Tatjana Maria defeated
the number five seed, Maria Sakkari.
[commentator 2] Ons Jabeur has closed out
the second half of the second set
and the world number two
is into the fourth round.
What's going on with Iga Świątek,
the world number one?
Unbelievable. Alizé Cornet
takes out the red hot favorite.
[commentator 1] This has blown
the women's event wide open.
The title is very much up for grabs now.
[commentator 2] And after fighting hard
[umpire] Out!
[commentator 2] we're at match point.
[cheering]
[commentator 1]
After a nerve-riddled start,
she pulls it out of the fire,
does Ajla Tomljanović,
with a lion-hearted mental effort.
[commentator 2] Ajla Tomljanović,
she is one to keep an eye on
as the championships progress.
[Ajla] I haven't had that calmness
and belief in a long time.
[man] Excuse us, please.
Player coming through.
[man in Croatian] Well done, Ajla.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome, madam.
I couldn't do it without my dad,
because he knows me the best.
I am trying to find a hotel.
We had a hotel until today.
And now I have to find a hotel.
I don't care. She cannot fire me.
I'm her father. So
It's not that I didn't believe
that she could win this match.
I just want to save her money.
She will freak out if she has to move.
[chuckles]
Now I'm in trouble.
No, but you're like, I'm not
in the mood, are you kidding me?
No, but for real.
Like, I'm not moving again.
No, you're not moving.
I will buy the hotel. [laughs]
[coach] He's buying the hotel.
No, but you guys I don't trust you.
Like, are you kidding?
[Ratko] No, I'm not kidding, we don't
have room, but I will fix it, don't worry.
I know you guys are joking.
I'm not even upset.
[Ratko] No, I'm not joking. I mean,
in this moment, we don't have room.
I'm offended. It's only the third round.
Did he really not maybe believe or what?
Honestly, if I make a little bit more
money, I'd fire you in an instant.
You can still travel with me but
[Ratko] You cannot fire me. If you're not
paying someone, you cannot fire him.
And honestly, at this point,
I just want to have the same room.
- At Wimbledon. That's all I want.
- [Ratko] You have the same room.
You have it.
[pulsing music]
[commentator 1] It's about concentration
and nerves to finish this off.
[cheering]
Good to have a sense of humor
at a time like this.
[Horse] Let's go, kid, come on!
[commentator]
One-way traffic here on Court Two.
Well, Nick Kyrgios has completely
dismantled his opponent today.
That was one of the best focused
performances I've seen from Nick
at Grand Slam tennis.
[fans cheering]
[umpire] Out!
Game, set, match, Tsitsipas.
[commentator] That was
a mightily impressive performance
from the world number 5.
Tsitsipas makes it through to round 3
at the Wimbledon championships
for the second time in his career.
Stefanos, huge congratulations.
Your next opponent is Nick Kyrgios.
- You met on the
- [crowd jeering]
How much are you looking forward
to taking on Nick here at Wimbledon?
Well
[crowd laughing]
I feel like there isn't a single person
here that doesn't know Nick.
[Stefanos] He has built that image
of a bad boy
that he has developed over the years.
It's a very controversial behavior.
I think you either love him
or you hate him.
There's nothing in the middle.
We'll do my biggest hit,
which was my first song I ever made.
[romantic R&B playing]
It captures emotion.
If I'm feeling sad or down,
I might listen to that.
- Ooh! Yeah.
- That's the one.
[Stefanos] I am an emotional person,
but if there's too much emotion,
sometimes it can also have
a negative impact, feeling too much.
So I try and block it out.
It's a skill that you have to nurture.
As a kid, I had a lot of time to think.
I was kind of a loner and
- I wouldn't say I had a lot of friends.
- You are still kind of a loner.
You like to be on your own,
and in your zone.
[Stefanos] You have to love being alone.
These are sacrifices that you make.
At the end of the day,
you want to say to yourself
that you've done everything possible
to reach the best of the best.
Kyrgios, he's extremely talented, but
I don't know if he works as hard as I do.
That's the question.
You can have all the talent in the world,
but if you don't work hard for it,
then it doesn't really pay off
at the end, you know.
You look so great.
Oooh!
Chris Evert went from being
just Chris Evert, the legend,
to mentor-slash-friend,
almost like, you know, a second mom.
The last two matches against good players,
I just had this ability to really fight.
You broke through a barrier that you
haven't broken through in your career,
because you haven't sustained that level
for three sets in a row,
and you haven't closed as well.
- Yeah.
- You're just a late bloomer.
- At least I'm a bloomer.
- Yeah.
[Ajla]
I rely so much on my emotions,
or if it's going bad, I'll get discouraged
because I sometimes hold on
to the anger or to the past
- and you can't afford to do that.
- Not if you want to win.
- Alright.
- Alrighty.
Look at us. Look at us.
She's my daughter. I didn't have
a daughter. I had three sons.
- Alright. I'll see you later.
- Okay. I love you.
[Chris] She's stronger now.
The last couple years,
all that was missing from her game
was the mental part,
like she wasn't hungry enough,
or she didn't want it enough,
but I'm starting to see it now,
now that she doesn't
have a boyfriend. [laughs]
I don't know
if she'll like me saying that.
[commentator] A very warm welcome
to the women's round of 16.
[man on P.A.] Players prepare
to go to their escort area.
Ajla's always been a player
that the talent was evident.
She should be ranked so much higher,
but when the pressure hits, she has
a hard time keeping the racket steady.
You're waiting for that moment where
she figures it out and doesn't crack.
[crowd applauding]
[commentator]
Alizé Cornet comes into this match
after having beaten Iga Świątek,
the world number one.
[Ajla] I'm worried.
Alizé, she's been incredible
in the slams this year.
[umpire] Ready, play.
[tense music]
[commentator] The battle of Alizé
against Ajla is underway.
[Ajla] She's so aggressive.
[Ajla groans]
If this is how this match has started,
I'm in so much trouble.
[Ratko] I'm a little bit emotional
when she's playing.
Of course, because it's your kid.
[umpire] Game and first set, Cornet.
[commentator]
And it goes the way of the Frenchwoman.
[Ajla]
The momentum is completely with her.
I just need to get ahead.
Come on, Ajla.
[umpire] Game.
[commentator]
What a start to this second set.
[Chris]
You have to be a warrior out there.
And you have to solve your own problems.
[Ajla] I saw her struggling a little bit.
[commentator]
The tempo's certainly changed.
A little bit of a tactical ploy
from Tomljanović.
She's made it.
Set point.
Lovely finish.
And this is becoming the marathon court
as Tomljanović levels up.
[umpire] One set all.
- [commentator] That's a great hustle.
- [umpire] Game, Tomljanović.
[Ajla]
Staying present and calm really helps me.
Just feeling the moment.
[calm music]
All of a sudden, it just feels so Zen.
I never felt that on such a big stage.
[commentator] Magnificent.
[Ajla] I wouldn't want
to be anywhere else
other than playing
this third set right now.
[commentator]
Tomljanović at match point.
Yes!
[umpire] Game, set, match, Tomljanović.
[commentator] It was an epic battle
over two and a half hours.
[commentator 2]
Yeah. What an emotional moment.
She might have played
just one of the matches of her career.
[commentator 1] Absolutely.
Ajla, firstly and most importantly,
I can see how emotional you are.
- Are you alright?
- Yeah.
I just I don't know.
I didn't really think I could do it, so
After some tough moments this year,
I thought, am I ever gonna
get a chance again?
I've never felt
that emotional after a win.
And oh, my God, this is, like,
emotional even thinking about it.
[host] Very well done.
Ladies and gentlemen: Ajla Tomljanović!
Thank you.
It felt, I mean, the best feeling
I've had in years on a tennis court.
- [woman] Girl!
- [Ratko] Sunglasses. [laughing]
[Hana] Yay!
I'm not surprised that
she performed like she performed.
I knew that she is in good place.
I knew that if she will be
in tough position
that she will do the right things.
By the way, do we have a room?
- [team laughing]
- [Ratko] Yeah, for today.
Fish just messaged me. He goes,
"As soon as the match was finished,
I saw your dad on bookings.com
looking for accommodation."
[line ringing]
- [Chris] Ajla.
- Hi, Chrissy.
You're in the quarters at Wimbledon.
- [Ajla] I am.
- [Ratko and Ajla laughing]
[Ratko] Ajla, if Chris Evert is
calling you, come on, you made it.
[Chris] To make the second week
of a Grand Slam, I think mentally
puts you in another category,
puts you at another level.
- [Ratko] Ajla, you have to go to ice bath.
- Why do I have to go to the ice bath?
- Because we decided.
- Yeah, but why would I go? I never go.
[Ratko] But you never played
like this, come on.

The match of the day coming up.
Stefanos Tsitsipas,
the number four seed from Greece,
against Nick Kyrgios.
You know what they say, Netflix: behind
every great man, there's a great woman.
[Nick] Stef's the type of player who
dedicates every single second
of his day to tennis.
I don't have a plan,
I just kind of play on my instinct.
In sport you want to see
two juggernauts go at each other,
and you want to see
their different styles of tennis.
Stef is a fierce fighter
and his emotional state is very high.
If he keeps it here, he's super dangerous.
If it goes too high, it plays against him.
Obviously, I'm considered the favorite
because of the ranking.
But he's really pumped.
No one wants to play me.
That's a good feeling.
When you're feared.
Fear lasts longer than love.
He has brought that NBA basketball
kind of attitude to tennis.
[fan] Let's go, Nick!
[Stefanos] I would describe it as
an uneducated approach of playing tennis,
but, you know, tennis is a gentleman's
sport, it's all about respect.
We're not playing basketball.
[Patrick] This job is about dealing
with pressure at the highest level.
So if Nick wants to become a top champion
and win Grand Slams,
he will have to learn to deal with it,
which is something
he has never done before.
[dramatic music]
[commentator] I think this is probably
the blockbuster of the tournament so far.
[cheering]
Hopefully, both players
will play the way that they can play
and then we're gonna be in for a cracker.
[umpire] Ready, play.
- Out!
- [umpire] Game, Tsitsipas.
[commentator 1]
That's high quality from Tsitsipas.
[umpire] Game, Kyrgios.
[tense music playing]
[commentator] This is very close.
- [commentator 2] There we are.
- Beautiful.
[commentator 2] Brutal from Tsitsipas.
- Out!
- [umpire] No, that was good.
[commentator]
What was going on with that call?
- That was way in.
- Replay.
What are you doing?
- Replay the point.
- Not a good call.
He's saying, "I had a great return there.
Now I got to return a first serve."
So the set will go the way
of Stefanos Tsitsipas,
and Mount Kyrgios will no doubt erupt.
You're supposed to make the right call.
He's got one line to call, bro.
Just get a new umpire.
[tense music]
The umpire's on the phone. I don't know
what that's all about. It's all happening.
[commentator 2] Asking for himself
to be replaced, "Get me out of here."
[commentator 1 laughs]
[commentator] The monologue
continues at the far end.
Now he's just chatting away
to the Tsitsipas box.
Phwoar, 136 miles an hour.
That was a bullet.
[umpire] Game, Kyrgios.
[Stefanos] I just felt like
he was trying to destroy my rhythm.
[commentator]
Here we are. First of the day.
[umpire] Game, Kyrgios.
Go, Nick! Come on!
[Stefanos]
He feeds by distracting his opponents.
[commentator]
It's Tsitsipas's turn to get frustrated
about which of the towel bins is his.
[commentator 2 laughs]
[Stefanos]
He kept putting his towels on my box.
[commentator 1]
It's nice of Tsitsipas to say,
"The gentleman has
put his towel in my"
[commentator 2, laughing] His section.
[Stefanos] There was zero respect
coming out of my opponent.
[commentator] Nick complains, "You pick
on me." He gets away with so much.
[tense music playing]
[commentator] It's there. Kyrgios has it.
And listen to the noise in Court One.
[Stefanos]
He kept pressing my buttons non-stop.
And of course I got annoyed.
[commentator 1] Uh-oh. Tsitsipas is gonna
get a warning for slapping that ball.
Default?
[commentator 2] He clunked
the ball into the crowd.
Default or not? 'Cause if that's me,
you're fucking defaulting me.
Yes, you are.
He's hit a ball in the fucking crowd.
- [commentator 1] Did he hit someone?
- It just narrowly missed that man.
[tense music]
Oh, my God. So you can hit a ball
into the crowd and not get defaulted.
He's arguing about it.
Keep going. I love it.
Bring your supervisor out.
[commentator] Nick Kyrgios is complaining
that Tsitsipas hit the ball into the crowd
and should be defaulted.
The referee is coming out.
[commentator 2]
The umpire's lost control.
[commentator 1] This is serious.
He just loves attention and if he gets
none of that, that's complete destruction.
Are you done? You're a disgrace.
[commentator]
Kyrgios could be defaulted for that.
You change the rules whenever you want.
[commentator]
What is going on? Kyrgios has lost it.
And Tsitsipas is losing it as well.
I'm not playing
until we get to the bottom of it.
- [commentator 1] Absolutely ridiculous.
- [commentator 2] We're at Wimbledon.
[commentator 1]
Unfortunately we're losing control.
[commentator 2]
How is this gonna shake out?
