Shocking News: Nick Kyrgios Mocks British Tennis Star Painfully in a Chat with Serena Williams’ Ex-Coach Due to…
Nick Kyrgios has appeared to take a cold dig at British tennis star Paul Jubb – despite nearly losing to him at Wimbledon.
The notorious Aussie, who was a co-commentator for the BBC at this year’s Grand Slam, was speaking about nightmare first-round opponents with world No.25 Alexander Bublik and Serena Williams’ former coach Patrick Mouratoglou. Kyrgios, 29, hasn’t graced the courts of SW19 since his gut-wrenching defeat to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 final.

That year, his tournament was almost cut short when Jubb pushed him into a nail-biting five-set marathon match in the first-round. The ex-world No. 13 was taken to the limit by the wildcard, narrowly defeating him 3-6 6-1 7-5 6-7 (3) 7-5 in a showdown that spanned over three hours.
Kyrgios confessed he’ll never forget how close he came to losing to the now 24-year-old that day. Yet, when Bublik and Mouratoglou both asked if the young player had a match point at any stage in the game, Kyrgios responded with a dismissive laugh.
Bublik and Kyrgios were discussing nightmare first round opponents in a Grand Slam. The Kazakh confessed his unease when up against a young, talented wildcard, who plays with freedom.
While speaking on the UTS Tour podcast with Kyrgios and Mouratoglou, Bublik said: “I was top 20 for the first half of the year. Then I have some draws and then some guys coming in are more confident than me. They’re confident and they’re like ‘Okay, I enjoy my life, I’m ranked 127 and everything is good’. Then I am getting tight and then I’m playing 7-6 in a third or 6-4 in a third that’s horrible.”
Mouratoglou replied: “It’s less pressure to play against a higher ranked opponent than a lower one” before Kyrgios, through a haze of giggles replied: “Just keep it simple bro, like what the f***.”

Bublik admitted he prefers to face higher ranked players in the early stages rather than wildcards or players outside the top 100. He said: “It’s that simple, I’d rather play Holger Rune honestly, because it is a match-up. You know what he is going to do. I enjoy matches against Lorenzo (Musetti), the same rank as me.”

Recalling the scare he had from Jubb, asked: “What if you play Paul Jubb? I won the final set 7-5. If you play Paul Jubb, what are you thinking?”
Bublik replied: “First round, I hate it. Quarter-finals, I take it. He’s cooked in the quarter-finals already.”

Kyrgios agreed with the Kazakh, replying: “Quarter-finals, they’re too emotional, I know what you mean. First round though, dang, he played unbelievable. I was like ‘What the f***?'”
When questioned by Bublik about whether Jubb had any match points, Kyrgios reacted with a mix of laughter and disbelief. Kyrgios said: “No, no, no, no, steady, steady. No match points. It was 7-5 in the fifth, no match point, I played it.”
This year, Jubb suffered a first-round defeat at Wimbledon once more. He clinched the first two sets against Thiago Seyboth Wild 6-1 and 6-3, but was unable to counter the Brazilian’s late resurgence that saw him claim the next three sets 7-6, 6-4, 7-5.
