Tsitsipas has thought about that match a lot and says it was one of his worst moments on the court. He and Kyrgios have made up a little, but Tsitsipas says he tried to hit a ball at Kyrgios' face on purpose. Even though he lost, he thinks it worked.

Tsitsipas said he's not proud of how he acted during the match. He says it was the worst he's ever been on the court and that he lost control.

He felt disrespected by Kyrgios, who was trying to distract him. Kyrgios was saying things to him and throwing his towel on Tsitsipas' side of the court.

Tsitsipas was already feeling bad because he was sick before the match and had trouble breathing. This made him even more frustrated, and he did some things he doesn't usually do on the court.

One thing he did was try to hit the ball directly at Kyrgios, which made Kyrgios lose his focus. Tsitsipas was worried that Kyrgios would get him back when they played together in a different match.

Tsitsipas remembers being very frustrated with Kyrgios during the match. He was so angry that when Kyrgios hit a soft shot, Tsitsipas tried to hit the ball at Kyrgios' face. Kyrgios then made some mistakes and lost his serve.

Kyrgios and Tsitsipas have played each other five times, and Kyrgios has won four of those matches. Their last match was at Wimbledon, and Kyrgios had also beaten Tsitsipas a couple of weeks before that.

Both Kyrgios and Tsitsipas have had injuries that made them fall in the rankings. Kyrgios had surgeries on his knee and wrist and didn't play for a long time. Tsitsipas had a bad back injury and is now ranked 49th in the world, while Kyrgios is not ranked because he hasn't played in a while.

Kyrgios and Tsitsipas are both trying to come back from their injuries. Kyrgios hasn't competed in a while, and Tsitsipas is working to get back to the top of the rankings.
