Kyrgios is again a negative protagonist, he angrily threw the bat and almost hit a ball boy
Nick Kyrgios threw the spotlight on him for all the wrong reasons after throwing the racquet at him with force and almost hitting a ball boy after the Rafa Nadal defeat, while a little later he had a hearty dialogue with a journalist.
At the time of the game with Rafa Nadal, against the backdrop of the Indian Wells semifinals, Nick Kyrgios impressed in several places and the pair needed to be led in three sets to claim the 2-1 win over the Spaniard (7-6(0) , 5-7, 6-4) and arrange to meet his 18-year-old compatriot Carlos Alcarath.
However, Kyrgios is unpredictable and showed it once again as when the match was over and he greeted Nadal at the net, he fired his racquet with force at his nerves, which were flung away and despite the hair he missed the ball. Boy who had to duck to protect himself.
As expected, this incident left an alginate impression and the Greek-Australian received a barrage of questions at the press conference to take with the journalists in turn: “What do you mean? You say I had such an intention?”
Obviously not. When I threw the bat I was very far from him and it landed somewhere a meter from his foot. I’m human and things like that happen.
He obviously took a very unfortunate trajectory, if I did it a million more times he wouldn’t get that close. what else do you want to say That’s the question you should ask me after a 3.5 hour match with Nadal…”
When Kyrgios was even more pressured to provide explanations for his behavior that almost caused the young child’s injury, he continued in the same aggressive style, saying:
“He stooped, he stooped, he stooped, he stooped. Okay. If you want to ask me that, I didn’t hit him. It was an accident. It had nothing to do with what happened to Zverev. It was an accident and luckily I didn’t hit him.” “Fortunately the child is fine.
However, it is noted that Kyrgios “discovered” the ball boy after the press conference and apologized for his behavior via his personal Twitter account, while promising he would look for him on Friday and give him a racquet as a gift.
