*All odds taken 06/27/2019

There is a big wild card here, and it’s not whether Kyrgios can keep his cool. It’s whether or not he stays at the All England Club long enough to lose it.

Despite hovering around household name status, Kyrgios has made it to the quarterfinals of a major just twice in his career. Since 2017, he’s made it to the fourth round of a Major just once.

Kyrgios’ Violations at Majors

You could think the Kyrgios would try to keep his head screwed on straight at the biggest tournaments of the year. But you’d wrong.

Kyrgios’ career total for fines at the big four events is north of $35,000.

At Wimbledon in 2015, he received violations in the first three rounds in matches against Diego Schwartzman, Juan Monaco, and Milos Raonic. In 2014 at the US Open, he was handed three more violations. Kyrgios has also racked up a hefty bill at the Majors. His career total for fines at the big four is north of $35,000.

The reason behind the majority of these? Audible obscenities and racket-smashing.
