Nick Kyrgios accuses Wimbledon crowd of ‘racial slurs’ as tempers flare in Paul Jubb game | Tennis | Sport
Kyrgios has been involved in a fiery first-round clash with British wildcard Jubb, first complaining about the crowd and calling an official a “snitch” before he received a warning for smashing a ball out of the court. And it now appears the world No 40 is facing more issues with spectators as he claimed he was being racially abused on the court, weeks after accusing the Stuttgart Open crowd of doing the same.
“You have to tell them,” he told umpire Marija Cicak. “They’re spectators. They don’t have any right to do that. They’re spectators who spend money to come watch us play. They should be removed.
“I don’t go up to their face in their 9-5 and tart clapping when they’re scanning s*** at a supermarket. They have no right to do that so why does it keep happening?”
