On Wednesday night, a courtside microphone picked up Kyrgios saying that fellow Australian player Thanasi Kokkinakis had slept with a player who is reportedly Wawrinka’s girlfriend.
“Sorry to tell you that mate”, Kyrgios is heard to say with his back turned to the French Open champion.
“There is no need for this kind of behaviour”.
“I never played him before, so it took me some time to figure out what his patterns are”, said Djokovic after the match.
It has been changes all around for Murray recently, and another he would like to add is his record against Djokovic.
“Obviously he saw me in the corridor yesterday”.
“So, I’m just going to get back in that positive attitude and go from there”. “In a letter dated, July 23, 2014 and sent to ITWA Co-President Paul Newman, Harman said, in part, “…I have decided to resign from ITWA and do so with a heavy heart but it is clear that I have no alternative.
“It’s all cleared now”. Of course, I apologized publicly and privately. “I thought we could move on from it”.
Djokovic needed 54 minutes to overtake the 35th-ranked Sock.
The Chardy-Djokovic match will be played, weather permitting at 3 p.m. Saturday while the second semifinal is scheduled for 8 p.m.
“But again, there’s no excuse for what he has said”. “I think I was serving very well tonight”. Hopefully this won’t happen to him anymore. “Anyway, in the worst case I will lose”. We did a lot of good points.
“In tennis there are certain things you shouldn’t do”.
Djokovic continues to dominate at the ATP Tour’s biggest events, running his Masters 1000 winning streak to 28 matches.
It was an uphill task from thereon for Sock, who managed to win just 42% points in the second set.

Murray’s serene progress boosted his hopes of winning an “awkward” doubles contest against brother Jamie later on Thursday. I support him every single week.
