Nick Kyrgios is through to the semi-final at Wimbledon, while Ajla Tomljanović’s campaign has ended. Ladies first – Tomljanović lost to Kazakh player Elena Rybakina in 3 sets – she said she was disappointed because “I felt like with my game I was really there.” As for Kyrgios, he’s the first Aussie bloke through to the final 4 of Wimbledon since Lleyton Hewitt did it in 2004 – or as we remember that time, when Shannon Noll and Paulini were dominating the charts. He got off to a rough start against Cristian Garín but got on track and won it in straight sets. It took a lot of self-talk through the match, but at 27yo, he said “I just never thought I would be at the semi-final of a grand slam, I thought my ship had sailed.” Facing the media for the first time since assault charges were laid over an alleged incident with his former partner Chiara Passari, he had “things I want to say” but had been advised not to by his lawyer. He’ll take on Rafael Nadal tomorrow night for a chance to appear in the final.
