Nick Kyrgios’ Wimbledon is off to a particularly rocky start.

Twelve minutes into his Tuesday first-round match against world No. 219 Paul Jubb, Kyrgios lashed out at a female line judge. Kyrgios, the world No. 40, called the line judge a “snitch” after she reported something that Kyrgios had said to the chair umpire. 

“Has one person today come here to see her speak? No,” Kyrgios said to the chair umpire. “Why is she doing that? No one person in the stadium has watched her come to do anything. Not one person.” 

Kyrgios survived the match, winning in five sets: 3-6, 6-1, 7-6, 6-7, 7-5.

During the second set, Kyrgios informed the chair umpire that the crowd had verbally abused him with racial slurs. Talking with the chair umpire, Kyrgios maintained that the fans should be removed. 

“So pure disrespect from a spectator to an athlete is acceptable at Wimbledon?” Kyrgios said. “But you don’t accept a hat with two logos? When’s the line? That’s acceptable, racism is acceptable, so when does it stop? So where’s the line? It’s been happening for years. If they were making racial slurs to him [Jubb], I would say the same thing.” 

Kyrgios — who also smashed a ball out of the court in frustration — received boos throughout the match, only adding to his sour mood.

“You have to tell them,” Kyrgios implored the chair umpire. “They’re spectators. They don’t have any right to do that. They’re spectators who pay money to come watch us play. They should be removed. I don’t go up to their face in their 9-5 and start clapping when they’re scanning s–t at a supermarket. They have no right to do that, so why does it keep happening?

Kyrgios made a similar claim of racism earlier in June at the Stuttgart Open, prompting an investigation into alleged abuse during Kyrgios’ semifinal match against Andy Murray.
