Wimbledon’s in full swing, but the grass feels a little quieter without one of its loudest sparks, Nick Kyrgios. The 2022 finalist may be absent from the draw, but his presence still lingers through the echoes of Centre Court and the wildfire of social media.

Curious about what Kyrgios is cooking this time? Buckle up: he’s back, and he’s not holding back!
