Nick Kyrgios is playing one of the most important matches of his career in the Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic. Despite the significance of the event, the Australian was involved in a controversy due to the atmosphere that prevailed during the match, which led to an argument with chair umpire Renaud Lichtenstein.

When the Australian was serving in the third set, voices from the crowd were heard that clearly distracted him. Immediately, the tennis player informed the French referee about what had happened, and a heated dialogue began between the two. Later, the Frenchman issued a warning to Nicholas for "audible obscenity."

Undoubtedly, a decision that angered Kyrgios even more. But what happened on the court? The Fox Sports Australia page transcribed the complete exchange between the player and the authority in the final of the third Grand Slam of the season. It was there that the native of Canberra pointed out a person in terms that the judge considered should be sanctioned.

"It shouldn't depend on your opinion. She distracts me when I'm serving in a Wimbledon final, when there is no greater occasion. You didn't believe me. She did it again and almost cost me the game," said an indignant Kyrgios. "I believe you," Renaud Lichtenstein quickly replied.

Then, upon hearing this, the Australian spoke about the person who had distracted him: "But why is she still here? She's completely drunk in the front row talking to me in the middle of a game. What is acceptable?" he said. Then, the Frenchman responded to the accusation: "Nothing is acceptable."

After that, Nick asked that the person be removed from the scene, and the referee asked him to specify who he was referring to. Then, the 27-year-old athlete described her and the words he used apparently cost him a warning. "It's the one with the dress... who seems to have had about 700 drinks, brother. She talks to me all the time during the point," Kyrgios stated.
