We ticked off: Today's summary clip, 5.7 (Sports 1)
Nick Kirius continues to upset British journalists at Wimbledon, and yesterday (Monday) provided another media confrontation at a press conference, where he and a local journalist exchanged bites over his behavior.
Kirius advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating American Brandon Nakashima 6: 4, 4: 6, 6: 7 (3), 6: 3, 2: 6, and at the end of the game he wore red Nike Jordan shoes and a red hat, in violation of the tournament rules , Which require tennis players to wear only white.
Kirius, who has already been fined twice by the organizers in his previous three games, including spitting at the crowd and his blatant confrontation with Stefanos Tsitsipas who later also slipped into the campaign, again refused to apologize for his behavior, again admitting he enjoyed the negative attention.

Kirius was asked consciously he was wearing red items, and replied to the journalist: "Because I do what I want".
When asked "Does he raise the law", he replied: "No, I just love my Jordanians".
The frustrated journalist replied: "I do not want to ruin the surprise, but the organizers are going to talk to you soon", and the Australian replied: "It's okay. Tomorrow I will wear a white outfit".
The press room did not understand the journalist's insistence on the issue, and he said of Kirius that "then he complains about the controversies around him."
To this the Australian replied: "What the hell. It's just more attention to me. What does that mean? Any publicity is good, no? So keep doing it, Champion."
Not everyone likes Kirius' behavior, and even his compatriot Pat Cash, a 1987 Wimbledon champion, claims: "He has lowered tennis to the lowest level when it comes to sportiness, cheating, manipulation, bullying, aggressive behavior towards referees. Someone has to do something with That is, it has become a circus. "
As you may recall, Tsitsipas has already accused during the tournament that "Kirius is a bully, it must stop, he is a bully towards his opponents, he must have been a bully at school too".
Kirius then replied: "The circus today was entirely of Tsitsipas, not mine. He has serious problems. I am loved in the dressing room and not him."
* Another Wimbledon incident: The organizers warned the players and coaches and demanded that they cut expenses, after a coach was caught taking 27 yogurts as part of his daily allowance.
Each player receives from the tournament an expense account of £ 90 per day, each coach receives £ 45 for food and drink from the products on the spot, and as mentioned, one of the coaches was seen taking 27 bottles of probiotic yoghurt for himself, and the organizers had to provide a warning and clarification.
