    Cmon Nick! Getting into Rafa's head now :)

    This is one player who won't bow down, and let you bend the rules as you please by taking half a day over each serve Rafa!

    Game on

    This boy has a few mental issues. Poor umpire, taking a lot of moronic chatter from him. No need for spitting like a knacker too. Complete a$$hat.

    how many actual rivalries are there in tennis these days? - at least this has a bit of spice to it as opposed to all the "say the right things" players out there.

    Most posts on the thread so far and we're only two sets in

    Love him or hate him Nick brings massive publicity to a sport, inundated with overly PR savvy players and dwindling in popularity

    I’m enjoying listening to the commentary on the Wimbledon app of the nadal match. There sounds like there could be slaps. Also, is Laura Robson ever going to come back to anywhere near where she was a few years ago ?

    This display isn't that, surely. I'm hoping you can see the difference here. Rivalries take a bit of time to develop and there's always respect within rivalries - he's a rivalry with himself every time. It's boring.

    He's achieved nothing of note so far, only to be a d&ck in every match he plays. In fact, you could call him a serial loser. His kind of spice is nothing but that of a bully and someone who relishes aggrevation. No need for it at all.

    I’m not listening to the dedicated center court commentary but from the radio Wimbledon channel you can hear him clearly giving out to the umpire.

    I think he is going a bit overboard with the Umpire, both players are trying to wind each other up,

    Kyrgios does it enough to himself - some people need to be agitated and wound up - I think Kyrgios found the point where he harvests it in the second set but is back to the point where it drains him.

    I'm not near a TV. It wasn't very loud on the radio but still more than understandable.

    It's a pity nick is playing poorly overall (outside of serve) as Rafa - as ever in week one against a big hitter - is there for the taking. Some daft shot selection in that breaker by NK but that's the way he is, and he ain't gonna ever change :)

    there is history between them and it's 3-3.

    This is not about a top 2 all-time rivalry - it's not that at all obviously.

    but it's more interesting that watching Nadal whip Federer on clay for example.

    Krygios is too flaky to win a GS but has won tournaments and he's not even that bothered but he's up for this match - including beating Nadal earlier this year.

    It's a fascinating match - take in on that merit.
