Though Kyrgios had initially been willing to set aside their differences in his on-court interview, he arrived to press eager to not only provide context to the circus-like atmosphere Tsitsipas described but also share pages from his proverbial Burn Book.
Q. Do you think that you can win this tournament? If so, are you at all worried that all of the circus—was the word Stef used—could be tiring for you?
NICK KYRGIOS: I feel great. I don't know what he's—like, the circus was all him today. I actually felt great. I feel great physically now. I'm ready to go again if I need to play again tomorrow. I just think he's making that match about me, like he's got some serious issues, like serious.
I'm good in the locker room. I've got many friends, just to let you know. I'm actually one of the most liked. I'm set. He's not liked. Let's just put that there.
So anyway, no, I'm good. I feel good.
Q. You were pretty effusive about Stefanos and Petros afterwards, the last 20 minutes feel like that might not be the case anymore. Do you think you will both brush this off and be friends in two days' time?
NICK KYRGIOS: I don't care. As I said, when I'm back home and you see my everyday and who I'm competing with on the basketball court, these guys are dogs.
The people I'm playing at Wimbledon, they're not—he's that soft, to come in here and say I bullied him, that's just soft. We're not cut from the same cloth. I go up against guys who are true competitors.
If he's affected by that today, then that's what's holding him back, because someone can just do that and that's going to throw him off his game like that. I just think it's soft.
With Tsitsipas out of the tournament, it appears Kyrgios will have the last word for now, but feel free to get more popcorn ready for when this feud inevitably spills onto social media.
