Nick Kyrgios Most SHOCKING Moments Revealed.. Welcome back to Sports Plug. Mats Wilander has claimed that the controversial Nick Kyrgios is “not a villain” despite several intense moments during the Australian’s Wimbledon first-round 3-6 6-1 7-5 6-7 (3-7) 7-5 win over Paul Jubb. The 27-year-old admitted spitting in the direction of a fan during the match and complained about the fans, line judges and umpire on several occasions. Andy Murray’s former coach Miles Maclagan believes that Kyrgios is “lucky” to not be banned at Wimbledon this year following his antics, but pundit Wilander is happy that he will continue to compete at SW19. Wilander told Eurosport. “I don’t think he is a villain at all. I really enjoy watching him play. When he tries hard, he is one of the best players in the world; most probably he still has his best tennis ahead of him. "I still feel that he has a big shot at winning a big tournament, especially on the grass at Wimbledon. I don’t think he’s a villain; I think he’s a really nice guy and he is entertaining the crowd. I think it [the antics] is just him; some players get upset, some players get nervous. "I’m not sure what he’s feeling on the inside, but he cares about winning tennis matches and I think that is why he is so emotional at times, but it is fun to watch, and he is a crowd favorite wherever he goes.” #NickKyrgios #KyrgiosNotAVillain #KyrgiosIsANiceGuy Related Videos: The REAL Reason So Many People LOVE Nick Kyrgios.. • The REAL Reason So Many People LOVE Nick K...
