WIMBLEDON bad boy Nick Kyrgios was seen partying at the Dog and Fox pub AGAIN last night despite playing a mixed doubles match today.
The Australian star also bizarrely called his countryman Pat Cash a “potato” after he paid tribute to Rafael Nadal on Twitter.
Kyrgios, 24, lost to Nadal, 33, in a four-set thriller, entertaining fans throughout with his bonkers behaviour.
Even though not everybody in the Wimbledon crowd appreciated it.
He argued with the umpire, won two points with underarm serves – earning boos from the stands – was handed a code violation, and deliberately tried to hit the Spaniard with a ball.
Nadal labelled Kyrgios “dangerous” after the match, although he waited for the Aussie ace as they were heading back to the changing room.
And former Wimbledon champion Cash, 54, praised the Spanish champ for his gesture, calling him a “real gentleman”.
He wrote on Twitter: “Despite a dramatic and tense match Rafael Nadal shows he is a real gentleman.
“Lets his racquet do the talking and leaves it all on the court.”
Kyrgios replied to his tweet, calling Cash a “#potato” and writing: “Well done Pat, one of your better tweets,” alongside a tears of joy emoji.
Well done Pat, one of your better tweets

MIXED FEELINGS
And to brush off the Nadal defeat, the Aussie then headed AGAIN to the Dog and Fox pub for a night out.
He shared a video on Instagram showing him sipping on a drink – and people around him playing beer pong.
Even though he told reporters he would stay home ahead of his mixed doubles match with Desirae Krawczyk on Friday.
Asked what he was planning to do following his singles exit, Kyrgios said: “Nothing. I just get out of here. I’m playing mixed doubles, so… I don’t really do much tonight. I don’t know.
“I mean, I get disappointed, but at the same time I played today, I left it all out there. I can’t be too disappointed.
“A couple points here or there. He’s a champion. He played well in those moments. That’s why he’s one of the greatest there is.”
‘I’M NOT GRAND SLAM MATERIAL’
Kyrgios has also admitted he is “not professional” enough to win a Grand Slam.
He said: “I know what I’m capable of. I’m a great tennis player, but I don’t do the other stuff.
“I’m not the most professional guy. I won’t train day in, day out. I won’t show up every day.

“I’ve had a lot of fun. I know that I can bring a level. I haven’t put in enough hours.
“I probably haven’t trained enough. I don’t have a coach. I haven’t been doing enough gym.
“At the moment I don’t think I can contend for a Grand Slam.”
