Nick Kyrgios and Wimbledon - will 2022 finally be that great success story that has been announced for years? In any case, the Australian is already in the semifinals. He had never gotten that far with a Majpr before. Kyrgios won against Cristian Garin from Chile 6: 4, 6: 3 and 7: 6 (5) and is waiting for the winner of the game between Rafael Nadal and Taylor Fritz.
The big drama was denied to the viewers on Court 1 this time. Up to the last point of the match: Kyrgios hammered a ball on the line, the call-out was corrected, but the point was not awarded to the Australian. Kyrgios briefly complained to the referee, but kept his nerve. And a few moments later, relieved, she fell to the ground.
Kyrgios with an early deficit
Garin, who surprisingly made it into the quarter-finals, got off to a better start. The Chilean took an early lead with a break, but Kyrgios fought back. The man from Canberra played the second round from the front with a break in the back. And saved himself an overall effort like in the previous round when he had to go the full distance against Brandon Nakashima.
The second semi-final has been fixed since Tuesday: defending champion Novak Djokovic meets Cameron Norrie. Djokovic caught up a 2-0 set deficit against Jannik Sinner in his quarterfinals.
