After Kyrgios fumed on court during his loss against Nadal, his press conference got even more fiery.

Female tennis star Eugenie Bouchard had quite the view for Nick Kyrgios’ second round match against Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon on Thursday night.

Ousted in the first round of the ladies singles by Slovenia’s Tamara Zidansek, the Canadian glamour girl took in the most entertaining match of the tournament to date as Nadal progressed 6-3 3-6 7-6 7-6.

But it was where she was sitting which caused a stir.

Siding with the tennis bad boy was a controversial move in the eyes of some fans, but Bouchard sent tongues wagging further when she posted a photograph of Kyrgios serving with three love heart-eye emojis.

She was also quick to jump to the Aussie’s defence when he was criticised for serving underarm against Nadal.

Ummmm he won the point.... (!!!) Underarm serves aren’t against the rules. It’s a tactic. Anything to win the point. https://t.co/qj3gaokxno — Genie Bouchard (@geniebouchard) July 4, 2019

It has nothing to do with lack of respect. It’s literally just a different way to hit a serve. https://t.co/pjHdT2zFW7 — Genie Bouchard (@geniebouchard) July 4, 2019

It came after the pair practised together in the lead-up to the tournament. “He’s so chill, he’s very nice and was making the practice for me, which I appreciated,” Bouchard said.

“I asked him to do a couple really hard serves. I was able to return a few.

“It’s great for reaction because the ball comes so much faster — a different spin, more aggressive spin. Usually after hitting with a guy like that the ball seems slower when I’m hitting with a girl.”

But Bouchard, now ranked 79th in the world, will have to wait her turn if she wants to team up with Kyrgios again anytime soon.

The Aussie will partner American Desirae Krawczyk from the USA at Wimbledon on Friday night (AEST).

Kyrgios was asked how the new partnership came about after his defeat to Nadal and was as honest as it gets. “Honestly, I slid in her DMs bad,” he said. “She was just like, Yeah, let’s play.”
