Kyrgios bothered by a smell… of marijuana during his match against Bonzi

The whimsical Australian player has become another player since his lost final at Wimbledon. To his surprise: “To be honest, I hardly know who I am anymore, because it’s not me. I feel like I’m very professional right now. I never thought the Wimbledon final would make me like this. I thought it would be the opposite”. Nevertheless, the native of Cambera still groans as much on a court. Hooked in the 2nd round by the Gardois Benjamin Bonzi, who did not deserve (defeat in four sets), the 25^e world often howled against his box and sometimes against the referee. A habit. More original, its exit during the second round. During a break at 4-3 in his favor, Kyrgios complained to Spanish referee Jaume Campistol of a smell… of marijuana in the bays of the Louis Armstrong court. This would have caused him some respiratory discomfort. And what compelled the chair judge this improbable and unprecedented announcement: “Out of respect for the players, please do not smoke around the court.»

” People don’t know but I’m a big asthmatic, Kyrgios said after the game.When I run from side to side, I have trouble breathing, and that’s probably not something I want to breathe between points.The showman would almost struggle with the noisy atmosphere of the US Open: “I can barely hear whether or not I’m scoring the point. Half the time I can’t even hear my team because it’s so loud all the time. For someone who has struggled to focus in my career, I really try to put my head down and play point by point, try to get out of certain situations. It’s difficult because there are a lot of distractions. Obviously, there is also a lot of rowdiness.And his original release is also making noise.
