What do you get when you toss two feral cats in a bag with some grass clippings? ael Nadal versus Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon.
and more than four hours.
Rafa and Nick, ya see, have a beef that has gone on for so long its origins are shrouded in mystery, like the ancient grudge of William Shakespeare’s Montagues and Capulets.But the first blow likely came in 2014 when Kyrgios made his name at 19 years old by beating Nadal on Wimbledon’s storied Centre Court. A shocker, sure, but hardly venomous.Five years later, though, when he vanquished Nadal again in Acapulco, Mexico, the stewing Spaniard let loose.
What also grinds Nadal’s gears is how Kyrgios plays at a rapid clip, as if he has a flight to catch with his model girlfriend. Nadal, on the other hand, frivolously tugs at his socks and underwear for what feels like a half hour before every point and still hilariously views himself as a torchbearer of tennis decorum.
But don’t expect any such emotional restraint this week! He’s got Nadal on the noggin. In June, when Kyrgios took on Stefanos Tsitsipas in Halle, Germany, and received a time violation warning, he furiously said: “This happens every match. I’ve waited so many times for Rafa.” Nadal, meanwhile, was probably hundreds of miles away tanning on his mega-yacht.Kyrgios knows it’s now or never.
