I’m fine by not winning the Grand Slams,” said Kyrgios.
“I know it will make many people angry.” He must do this, “But I shouldn’t.” This is not your life, it’s mine.
I’m fine by just enjoying myself, wearing a show.

This is the athlete once a decade that inspired millions of people, they were only gods.
“You have to have some people, I believe, it’s legitimate, that people can bring other fans to watch, like just normal people.
I feel like one of those people.” Which has been displayed with a crowd member trains between points.
“I’m pretty light enough.
Yes, they know it’s a bit of a show.
They just want entertainment at the end of the day,” he added.
Auger-Aliassion beat Kyrgios in a close contest in their only meeting two years ago at the Queen club but the 20-year-old child did not take everything lightly.
“Nick is a great player, great entertainer.
I think he is good for tennis.
He seems to focus and play well the last few matches,” Canada said.
“He has all that needs to be played well, especially on the grass, he serves extraordinary.” Eight times Federer Champion will return to the central court for the third round match against the last English men standing – 29th seed Cameron Norrie.
While Switzerland can usually rely on having mostly support the crowd wherever he plays, on Saturday there may be more than one split.
“I understand if they cheer for him and if it’s for me because of the last 20 years and all the big wins I have ever had here,” Federer said about his conflict with the Queen Club runner-up.
“But enough now, he must come out.
I have to go through,” he added with laughter.
