Nick Kyrgios continues to make headlines on and off the Wimbledon court.
The 20-year-old snapped at the umpire during his straight sets victory over Juan Monaco today. It's difficult to tell what the official said to the short-tempered Australian but Kyrgios clearly didn't like it as he responded with an aggressive "Is that a threat? Does it feel good to be in the chair up there? Do you feel strong up there?" "You’re a real champion," he continued. "Did you get your point across?" The tirade is just the latest controversy surrounding the world number 29 as, just two days ago, he responded to a line call against him by shouting "dirty scum" and later refused to continue playing.
