Nick Kyrgios calls line judge ‘snitch’ and demands Wimbledon fan be removed for booing

It is always entertaining when Nick Kyrgios steps onto the tennis court.

His first round match at Wimbledon was no different and it took just minutes for the Australian to start to get fired up.

It took Kyrgios just 12 minutes to be involved in controversy

He was facing British wildcard Paul Jubb on Court 3 and after 12 minutes, one of the line judges reported something Kyrgios had said to the umpire.

Kyrgios then took issue with that, labelling her a ‘snitch’.

He was heard saying: “Has one person today come here to see her speak, no. Why is she doing that? No one person in the stadium has watched her come to do anything. Not one person.

“Know what I mean? I know you’ve got fans, but she’s got none. What did I do? Come on.

“She just selfishly walks to you in the middle of the game. She’s a snitch.”

The entertainment continued as he hit an underarm serve between his legs and then smashed a ball out of the court, leading to a warning.

Kyrgios wanted a spectator and line judge removed

Kyrgios then smashed down an ace, which was called out by the same line judge in the earlier incident.

The umpire overruled the call, leading to the Australian to tell her to ‘get off the court’.

Jubb was playing brilliantly to take the first set, but that unfortunately was secondary to the Kyrgios show.

There were plenty of heckles and boos towards the world number 45 and he was not entirely happy.

Kyrgios was involved in a lengthy discussion with the umpire that the spectator should be kicked out, to which she politely disagreed with.
