Nick Kyrgios<\/a> has come under fire for his lax fashion choices during his Wimbledon<\/a> commentary commitments on the BBC.<\/p>\n

While the All England Club is normally a place for the dapper and debonair, Kyrgios has made appearances in massive puffer jackets, hoodies and caps.<\/p>\n

Weather in London has been unseasonably cool with constant showers, which commentator Nick Mullins\ufeff touched on while Kyrgios was wearing the puffer jacket.<\/p>\n

"It feels almost summer-ish, (but) Nick has not got his big puffer jacket on which is always a sign of our climate," he said.<\/p>\n

But Krygios snapped back the puffer wasn't so much for practicality.<\/p>\n

"No, that's just style," he said.<\/p>\n

"We gotta try and appeal to the younger fans, you know? They'll understand where I'm going with that.<\/p>\n

"I don't mind a bit of old school too but need to find that balance in this sport."<\/p>\n

Iconic tennis figure John McEnroe \ufeffthen stepped into the conversation.<\/p>\n

"Give me a break, he's cold, come on. When are you going to step up and get dressed up? You're a good looking guy," he said.<\/p>\n

Kyrgios replied: "Maybe for the final\ufeff, we'll see."<\/p>\n

Kyrgios has \ufeffbeen commentating while he recovers from a wrist injury. He hasn't played a competitive match since a first-round loss to Wu Yibing in Stuttgart over a year ago.<\/a><\/p>\n

His appointment by the BBC was met with \ufeffsome backlash<\/a> from women's rights groups and British politicians, having entered a guilty plea to common assault against an ex-girlfriend in February 2023. The charges were later dismissed despite him admitting to pushing her.<\/p>\n

But now that he's on air, \ufeffthe feedback has been mostly positive. He has found a mentor in McEnroe\ufeff, with whom he shared a similar on-court reputation.<\/p>\n

"I'm telling you, I'm feeling quite comfortable this commentary box," Kyrgios said this week.<\/p>\n

While not on air, Kyrgios has been a popular hitting partner, including with Novak Djokovic. He has also spent considerable time hitting with Djokovic's kids Stefan and Tara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
