Nick Kyrgios still a regular at pub where he drank the night before Nadal clash
Despite the controversy at the time, staff say the 30-year-old keeps returning to the pub – most recently on Friday – and has never caused trouble.
Pub manager Alfie Stockwell, 28, said: 'He comes here quite often, especially during Wimbledon.
'He really likes it here. He's been nothing but nice. We let them do their own thing.
'He's friendly enough: I suppose it depends what mood he's in, which is fair enough.'
Kyrgios, unseeded at the time, had beaten fellow Australian Jordan Thompson in five sets to set up the blockbuster match with Nadal, which became laced with tension after a war of words between the pair.

Arthur Fery left with few regrets as Wimbledon campaign comes to an end
The 22-year-old defeated the Australian 20th seed Alexei Popyrin in the opening round to cross paths with the Italian in a clash scheduled as the last to take place on Court Two on Wednesday evening. Fery had lost the first two sets when the light began to falter and the match was paused, though the French-born Briton felt the interruption was to his advantage as his opponent was firmly on the front foot. Play resumed after midday on Thursday, and though Darderi was made to work hard for his third and final set he eventually prevailed 6-4 6-3 6-3 to knock Fery out of the tournament. Luciano Darderi (right) beat Arthur Fery (Jordan Pettitt/PA) 'I did my best, I thought I came out with a pretty good game plan – not too many regrets,' said Fery, whose French father Loic owns Lorient football club. 'I was tired, for sure. That second set yesterday was a physical one. 'It probably was going to help me to stop last night. I was two sets to love down. It was a very close match but still, momentum was on his side and he was playing very well. 'Stopping last night was good for me. I came out this morning, practised, warmed up well this morning. I was going to try and inch my way back into the match. Defeat for Arthur Fery in round two at @Wimbledon Plenty to be proud of for Arthur though, including a biggest career win & first main draw victory at SW19!#BackTheBrits 🇬🇧 | #Wimbledon — LTA (@the_LTA) July 3, 2025 'Even today I thought he was physical. He's a clay-court player. It was tough at times but I guess it shows me where I can improve. 'There were some matches where you have so many break points, and you come off the court having lost and you're p****d at yourself because you felt like you managed them poorly. 'I'm pretty proud of my performance. Overall it's frustrating. I had a lot of break points but didn't think I did a huge amount wrong. 'I thought he came out very well again today. I tried to use the crowd, I tried to change a few things tactically. It wasn't enough today.'

Wimbledon day 5 order of play: What time do Carlos Alcaraz & Emma Raducanu play?
Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu both play their third-round singles matches on Friday with Wimbledon's order of play confirmed for day five. British No.1 Raducanu is aiming to reach the last 16 for the second year in a row but must battle past top-seed Aryna Sabalenka in order to progress. The Raducanu vs Sabalenka showdown will be played on Centre Court after Carlos Alcaraz takes on Jan-Lennard Struff in the men's singles. Scroll down for the estimated start times for both matches as well as the full schedule for Friday, July 4 at the All England Club… Alcaraz vs Struff is the second scheduled match of the day on Centre Court after Taylor Fritz's clash with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Fritz vs Davidovich Fokina gets started at 1.30pm UK time and a best of five sets men's singles match can last anywhere from two hours and 45 minutes to five hours. Given that both of Fritz's matches at Wimbledon this year have gone to five sets, we could be set for another marathon in the Centre Court opener. It's hard to give an exact prediction – but you can expect Alcaraz vs Struff to get underway around 5.30pm. Raducanu vs Sabalenka gets underway once Alcaraz vs Struff has concluded. Alcaraz, as the favourite in the men's singles, is expected to win in straight sets and it's likely that his match won't last as long as the opening clash. More Trending If Alcaraz wraps things up relatively quickly, then Raducanu vs Sabalenka could get started around 8pm.

Which British tennis players are still in Wimbledon?
Why you can trust Sky News A record number of British singles tennis players advanced past day one of this year's Wimbledon. Now four days into the Grand Slam tournament, how is the home-grown talent faring in SW19? Who is still in? Leading the charge for a British Grand Slam champion this year is Jack Draper. The British men's No 1 - who entered Wimbledon ranked No 4 in the world - cruised into the second round after seeing off Argentina's Sebastian Baez. However, he faces a tougher test against former US Open winner Marin Cilic next on Court One on Thursday. Draper is officially in the midst of a breakout after winning three titles over the last year, among those being the Masters 1000 event at Indian Wells in March. But speaking ahead of his second-round Wimbledon match, the 23-year-old said he isn't particularly feeling the pressure just yet. He said: "I obviously was aware of the build up and all that sort of stuff, but I think my preparation has been really good and I feel confident, so I'm not thinking too much about that." Cameron Norrie Cameron Norrie has already booked his place in the third round of Wimbledon after knocking out 12th seed Frances Tiafoe. The former British number one came close to dropping out of the top 100 earlier this season but entered SW19 ranked 61 in the world. And not being in the top 10 has meant Norrie is enjoying tennis "more than ever". He said: "I think it's a good thing to go through being injured, not winning, then having resilience to back yourself. I'm enjoying my tennis more than ever. It was really nice coming up to get into the top 10 but it's just tough, really tough, to stay there." Norrie plays Mattia Bellucci in the third round on Friday. Emma Raducanu The current British women's No 1 has started her Wimbledon campaign strong, defeating former champion Marketa Vondrousova to reach the third round. Emma Raducanu was left grinning after the 6-3 6-3 win that has set up what is due to be a blockbuster third-round clash with world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Friday. Speaking ahead of the third round, the 22-year-old said: "I'm just so happy I get to play another match here. [Sabalenka] is number one in the world, so dominant, has won literally everything. "I'm just so happy how I performed. I guess there's no pressure at all on me." Sonay Kartal Sonay Kartal appears to be in with a good chance of making the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time as she takes on qualifier Diane Parry next at Wimbledon. The 23-year-old followed up her defeat of 20th seed Jelena Ostapenko by racing to a 6-2 6-2 win over Bulgarian Viktoriya Tomova to make it to the last 32. Reflecting on her performance over Tomova, the British hopeful said she was pleased with her play. She said: "I don't think I did much wrong at all. I was seeing it really well. I felt confident. I feel like I was playing really aggressive tennis." Who has been knocked out? Dan Evans Home-grown hopeful Dan Evans was knocked out of this year's tournament by seven-time champion Novak Djokovic. The pair battled it out on Centre Court on Thursday, with the Serb winning in straight sets. "I knew it was going to be a special atmosphere on the court today, a Brit in Britain is never easy to face," Djokovic said after the match. "He's a good quality player that possesses a lot of talent." Other Brits who didn't quite make it Qualifier Oliver Tarvet's dream run sadly came to an end, but not after a spirited 6-1 6-4 6-4 second-round loss to defending champion Carlos Alcaraz - all while on Centre Court. Billy Harris also fell short of the third round after losing to Portugal's Nuno Borges. Other players out of the men's draw include: Jay Clarke, Johannus Monday, George Loffhagen, Henry Searle, Oliver Crawford, and Jack Pinnington Jones. While in the women's game, Heather Watson, Harriet Dart, Jodie Burrage, and Francesca Jones have been eliminated. Also knocked out are Hannah Klugman, Mimi Xu and Mika Stojsavljevic, the three teenagers who were all handed Wimbledon wildcards for their exceptional performances. Evans had won their only previous career meeting, in Monte Carlo four years ago. He had arrived at this year's Wimbledon as a wild card, ranking No 154 in the world. Katie Boulter Despite expertly navigating her way into the second round of Wimbledon, Katie Boulter suffered defeat against Argentina's Solana Sierra. The loss means she has still never progressed beyond the third round at any of the sport's four major tournaments. It is also the second time in a row she has not made it beyond the second round at Wimbledon "Of course it hurts, it's a really tough pill to swallow - it always is here," said Boulter, who may yet end the tournament back at British number one. Arthur Fery British wild card Arthur Fery was unable to mount a comeback as his second-round tie with Luciano Darderi, which started on Wednesday, resumed on Thursday on Court Two with the Italian two sets up. Darderi took the third set to secure a 6-4 6-3 6-3 victory in two hours and 21 minutes.
