Tennis fan and Twitter user Doug Collins was able to see the funny side of yet another mid-match meltdown from Nick Kyrgios in his strange win over Croatian Borna Coric.
The match started with a first set tie-breaker, which Kyrgios won 7-6. But from there, things turned ugly.
As the second set began, the 23-year-old felt his body breaking down, and Collins started to live tweet what he was witnessing.
But Kyrgios was ropeable when a controversial call from the umpire went against him. In retaliation, he hit a ball into the stands, before talking banter with the crowd.
He even took out some of his frustration on Coric, berating him for the time he would take between serves.
Kyrgios went on to lose the second set 6-0, and allegedly admitted to tanking in frustration, before responding in the third to take it 6-3, ending one of the most bizarre matches in the Australian’s history.
But, despite the win it will always be remembered for that strange second set and we’re lucky we had an eyewitness to explain the unexplainable for us.
