Just as Gawain was communicating with the referee, an irritable and impatient voice came from the side, breaking the calm. Was it Kyrgios or someone else?
Turning his head, you can see Kyrgios' face full of impatience, complaining, and firing without mercy.
"He was not hit or injured. How long will you continue to act there? Isn't that fussy performance too exaggerated?"
"Do you think you are the Virgin Mary? There is no need to pretend to be a saint. You just want to make me look ugly and ferocious. You can put away this set of hypocritical tricks. It is really disgusting."
Kyrgios sat awkwardly on his chair, completely disdainful of the scene unfolding in front of him, and almost rolled his eyes.
Gawain could clearly feel the caddy in his arms shaking slightly, as if he was surrounded by fear again. He used his back to resist Kyrgios's eyes, turned his head and shouted loudly.
"So, are you justifying your violent behavior? I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone so shameless."
In one sentence, Kyrgios exploded immediately, "I didn't mean it. Don't you have eyes? The place where I hit him was a Pacific Ocean away from him, but the racket flew past, how do I know what happened?"
"What's more, he has already moved away, hasn't he? He has moved away! Moved away, moved away, moved away, moved away! He has already moved away! What else do you want from me?"
"Do you want me to kneel down? Or just give up the game and admit defeat? Then you can be complacent? I'm not as stupid as you think."
With a crackling sound, Kyrgios couldn't control it at all. All the anger and rage in his mind surged out. He could even see his clenched fists again, and the tennis court was about to become a boxing ring in the blink of an eye.
Gawain was so angry that he laughed instead.
It was obvious that Kyrgios had done something wrong, but not only did he not apologize, he also excused himself, and then put all the blame on others.
It seems that this is not the first time that the whole routine works so smoothly——
Anyway, it's always someone else's fault.
"Haha." Gawain sneered, "I originally wanted to say that you can at least express your apology, but now it seems that I have to forget it. Ivory cannot spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, so you'd better shut up to avoid exposing yourself as a paramecium.
fact."
Oops!
Kyrgios stood up suddenly, "What did you say? Say it again!"
Wow.
On-site security personnel immediately appeared and were isolated between Gawain and Kyrgios. Of course, the most important thing was Kyrgios who controlled his impulse.
Gawain turned around and protected the caddy behind him, "I said, if you have no brain, just keep your mouth shut to avoid letting others see your stupidity."
"Fuck." Kyrgios waved his fist and tried to step forward, but was stopped by security personnel.
At the same time, two security personnel stood in front of Gawain, but no one controlled Gawain, it was more like blocking Kyrgios's defense.
Seeing this scene, Kyrgios became even more angry, "I'm going to kill him! You all let go, I'm going to kill him!"
At this moment.
"Gawain."
There was a voice in his ear, Gao Wen raised his head, and then he saw the serious expression on the face of ATP gold medal referee Ali-Nili.
The gold medal referee is also the highest and most authoritative among all referee levels. The American who was promoted to the gold medal referee in 2008 is slightly less qualified and has not officiated any Grand Slam singles finals. However, a gold medal is a gold medal.
, the authority is unquestionable.
At this time, Nellie pushed away the microphone and communicated privately.
"That's where it should end. You don't want to cross the line."
Obviously, Nellie was not satisfied with what Gawain had just said to stimulate Kyrgios.
But Nellie also knew that everything was instigated by Kyrgios, and Gawain was just fighting back, so his attitude was correct but not harsh, and he did not blame Gawain.
Gawain raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, indicating that he was not ready to continue to cross the line, but in words, he still did not relax.
"Dear referee, things should never have gotten to this point."
Behind the scenes, he was actually criticizing Nellie for not being tough enough in law enforcement. From the noise from the crowd to Kyrgios' loss of control, there were too many off-field factors in this game.
Even tournament director Terry was aware of this and not only visited the scene in person, but also upgraded the security staff to control the situation immediately.
Then, as the referee, Nellie should be tougher.
Faced with Gawain's neither humble nor arrogant response, Nellie was a little helpless, but in the end he didn't say anything more. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Gawain ignored Kyrgios, who was like a mad dog, turned around and escorted the caddy back to the rest area, and then——
Bang bang bang!
Gao Wen took the lead in applauding and watched as the caddy exchanged positions with another caddy.
The reporters and spectators nearby also applauded one after another, and some even whistled, but it all happened too fast, and the spectators a little further away were not able to realize what was happening here.
Face looked at the applauding audience inexplicably:
what happened?
What happened to Gawain and the caddy? What happened to Kyrgios? Why did security personnel suddenly appear? Why was there such chaos? Why did the applause suddenly start? What on earth is this?
Especially live TV.
Because the live broadcast did not capture the scene of Kyrgios throwing the racket at all, and simply lacked the cause, so that when seeing the subsequent plot, the audience in front of the TV were all confused, and hundreds of thousands of whys were flooding in their minds.
Moving.
At this moment, the referee's voice sounded through the microphone, solving the problem for them.
"Serious warning, Kyrgios, does not abide by professional sports ethics..."
Without hesitation, the referee issued the second warning.
Although there is no penalty point, this warning needs to be reported to the ATP, which will be re-examined after the game and fines, points, and even suspensions will be drawn up.
Similar acts of violence must be strictly prohibited.
but--
As Gao Wen said, Nellie's law enforcement is still too soft, it is just a serious warning, and its deterrent effect at the competition site is very, very limited.
Does Kyrgios care?
Of course he didn't care. He was still immersed in his own world, with an angry face. After pushing away the security personnel, he returned to his seat. He was still cursing and chattering. He never stopped during the entire break, complaining about the audience.
It was as if the whole world had offended him.
Even the home fans were in no mood to respond.
Shh!
Shhhhhhh!
Margaret Court Stadium started to get noisy, and Kyrgios had just finished making noises when the home fans started making noises again.
However, the timing of the booing is very ambiguous and difficult to tell. What is it for?
Although it is not common, the brutality and accidents of the game are taking away the spotlight of the competition. Who could have expected that this quarter-final match would turn into such a situation?
But if you think about it carefully, seeing Kyrgios' figure doesn't seem so surprising.
