Nick Kyrgios’ Wimbledon rant about the woman who looked like she’d had ‘about 700 drinks’ was a smash hit – 27+ ace tweets
15.
Kyrgios complaining about a specific spectator.
"She's drunk out of her mind in the first row, talking to me in the middle of the game… The one with the dress, the one who looks like she's had about 700 drinks, bro!"
That's no way to talk about the Duchess of Cambridge, Nick.

Bless Kyrgios.
Thinking on a blistering hot day in England that ‘the one who’s had about 700 drinks’ would narrow it down.— Geoff Norcott (@GeoffNorcott) July 10, 2022

Daily Mail front page: He said I had 700 drinks when I’d literally only had 5 jugs of Pimms…

Daily mail currently hunting down the woman who’s had 700 drinks and finding how much her house is worth #Wimbledon

I can’t wait for the Woman Who Had 700 Drinks at Wimbledon and Got Yelled at by Nick Kyrgios to write a Guardian op-ed titled “I Am the Woman Who Had 700 Drinks at Wimbledon and Got Yelled at by Nick Kyrgios”

Arthur Ashe:
‘Success is a journey not a destination. The doing is usually more important than the outcome.’
Nick Kyrgios:
‘I know which one it is, it’s the one in the dress who looks like she’s had about 700 drinks, bro.’ #Wimbledon

Piers Morgan made a good point. It happens, sometimes.
If that Wimbledon spectator really has had 700 drinks there today, she must be very rich.
Pimms at £10.50 a glass would have set her back £7350. 🍹— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 10, 2022
Perhaps it was Akshata Murthy – Rishi Sunak’s wife.
In case you were wondering, according to sports journalist Michael Hincks, 700 Drinks Woman was – briefly – removed.
Myself and @jamesgraysport *think* we have clocked the supporter Nick Kyrgios claimed was "700 drinks" down
For certain, this person was:
1. Handed water by a steward
2. Led out by a member of security before 3rd set
3. Had her friend/relative follow her off court#Wimbledon https://t.co/HwO7qkLxNu— Michael Hincks (@MichaelHincks) July 10, 2022
4. THEY'RE BACK!!
And she has a bottle of water
(NB. Very rarely are thirsty supporters escorted off court)

Djokovic may have won the title, but Kyrgios achieved something pretty impressive.
Good on Nick Kyrgios for introducing many people to a genuinely new emotion: liking Novak Djokovic.
