Nick Kyrgios is in the final of this year’s Wimbledon tournament. But before the Australian can play for his first Grand Slam victory, he clashes with the referees again.
Kyrgios deliberately disregards rules: “I just like wearing my Jordans.” This is how tennis star Nick Kyrgios justifies his deliberate break with the Wimbledon dress code. The Australian had entered the court in red sneakers before his quarter-final match against Cristian Garin – a violation of the rules, because the stars actually have to be dressed completely in white when entering the court.

“I do what I want”: When asked by a reporter whether he was above the rules, Kyrgios replies at the subsequent press conference: “No, I’m not above the rules. But I just do what I want.” Um To avoid another violation of the rules, Kyrgios joked that he would “simply wear his white Jordans tomorrow”.
