Nick Kyrgios takes on fellow unseeded  player Brandon Nakashima  in the fourth round with the winner taking on either Christian Garin or 19th seed Alex de Minaur in the last eight. Could we see an-all Australian quarter final between de Minaur and Kyrgios?  That would bring back memories of the days of Rosewall, Newcombe and Laver. Those three greats didn't disgrace the courts as Kyrgios regularly does. He was involved in a fiery third round match on Saturday, beating an equally bad-tempered Stefanos Tsitsipas in four sets. Kyrgios has a fantastic serve (not bad underhand either) but the way the world number 40 treats officials is just so out of order. He has shown that bad behaviour in two of his three matches so far at Wimbledon. He has managed to keep playing well though and is the worthy favourite to win this match. 

Brandon Nakashima could do with going out onto court with some ear plugs. That way he won't hear the usual nattering and moaning of his opponent. The world number 56 is playing in this tournament for only the second time in his career. He lost to Taylor Fritz in the first round last year but has surpassed that performance in 2022. This is the first time he's made it to the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament. It follows up his third round at Roland Garros last month. His Winbledon warm-up saw him get to the last eight in the Netherlands. This tournament has seen him get wins over qualifier Nicola Kuhn (in four sets), 13th seed Denis Shapovalov (again dropping a set) and then in the third round, Daniel Gallan for the loss of only nine games.  Kyrgios may be an unruly character but no one can doubt his talent, go for him to win this and reach the last
