in March when Nadal declared his opponent had disrespected him and the sport, prompting Kyrgios to later hit back and dub Nadal "salty" and all but a sore loser.
Nadal later said: "I have been aware of everything. I was just next to him. I don't want to comment about that. Sometimes it is tough to see some things on court. He is a potential grand slam winner."During a first set that he lost 6-3, Kyrgios vented his frustration at Dumusois during the changeover at 3-0, questioning why he hadn't been given the chance to challenge a call because the official’s eyes had been at the other end of the court.
"I'm ready to serve, how long are we going to wait? I’m ready to serve the ball,” Kyrgios yelled at Dumusois.“When he’s serving, he’s controlling the tempo,” Kyrgios said. “Why do I have to wait for my serve? Why am I waiting? Why?" he said.“It’s too long between serves, it’s bulls--t It’s ridiculous."
“He takes 40 seconds between every serve, is that within reason? No. So don’t tell me to play within reason. He doesn’t play within reason. It’s not fair. This is part of the sport, is it? What’s happening now is part of the sport?Credit:“I’m serving next and he happens to take a toilet break now. Why? What’s going on, bro? What’s going on? It’s bulls--t.”
A touch volley at the net to bring up 30-40 and a Nadal forehand into the net ensured Kyrgios of another break and he survived to take the set.
