Channel Seven planned to show world number one Barty's game after Nick Kyrgios' match with fellow Australian Jordan Thompson.

MATTHEW LAMBERT AT WIMBLEDON: The 32-year-old won 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 on Court No 1 and will play the controversial Australian who knocked him out in 2014 in one of Wimbledon's great upsets.

MATTHEW LAMBERT AT WIMBLEDON: There has been precious little bad blood spilled on the lawns of the All England Club but that could change when Rafael Nadal takes on Nick Kyrgios.

There are some superb match-ups on the fourth day at Wimbledon. British supporters will be cheering on Cameron Norrie on Centre Court against Kei Nishikori.

Despite the 41 places which separate them in the world rankings, this feels like anybody's game in their first meeting since February's fiery clash in Acapulco lit the touch paper for a war of words.

Kyrgios was seen socialising with friends and chatting to girls at Wimbledon's Dog & Fox pub on Wednesday evening, according to a sports commentator on Twitter.

The 24-year-old was spotted at the Dog & Fox Pub in Wimbledon last night until around 11pm just hours ahead of today's game.

It's the second night on the bounce Kyrgios has painted the town red and the controversial Australian didn't appear to be fazed by his Wimbledon exit just hours later.

Keen observers noticed Bouchard - who was eliminated in the first round of the ladies singles - chose to side with Kyrgios during his second round grudge match against Rafael Nadal.

Nick Kyrgios confessed he was aiming to hit Rafael Nadal with the ball during a rally in their bad-tempered second-round Wimbledon encounter, which the Spaniard won in four sets.

First he dispatched a rank outsider. Then one of the biggest rebels in tennis. And yesterday Rafael Nadal came up against the eternal entertainer that is Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and again prevailed.

The out-of-sorts Australian seemed to make the most of his time in Montreal by getting cosy with the Canadian tennis star's twin sister Beatrice, days after his most bizarre on-court meltdown yet.

Wayward tennis talent Nick Kyrgios may be a 'different character' but Australia's Davis Cup team is better with him in it, according to captain Lleyton Hewitt.

Kyrgios is currently under probation by the ATP - the sport's governing body - following a meltdown at a tournament in Cincinnati in August, but the Australian No. 2 had a more positive outlook on Wednesday.

The elite athlete revealed he has stopped eating meat and dairy in a post online about the devastating impact of the bushfires on the Australia's wildlife.
