An extremely small sample, but Kyrgios is 2-0. Both matches in 2017, hard courts, straight sets, with 2 TB sets.
With Kyrgios in the final, the question will come down to: will he go ballistic at one time during the match? Because if he does, that would be his doom.

It would be a complete embarrassment to him to go completely off in the final on Centre Court, in front of the Royals. I actually think he will sort of keep it under control in this match. At least under control for him.

Kyrgios could be playing a match at a monastery and would still curse.

Almost all the time I hear cursing on the court it is coming from a male player. I know it has to happen with the female players, but not nearly as often. I am watching a Juniors Doubles match right now and they recently gave a code violation to one of the players for cursing. These players are 16 to 18 years old. Now I know they are boys and they do curse more than us girls do and i have not seen any of the Junior girls cursing on the court yet. I am not saying us girls are perfect because I know I have even mumbled a few curse words under my breath while playing. So it happens.

In the article posted by The Moz, the umpires explain about how they have to gauge when and how the words were said.
Flashback to the 1990's. Gaston Gaudio is playing against Greg Rusedski, and simply cannot return his serve. Gaudio grabs his cap, pulls it down over his eyes, walks to the backcourt and says (in Spanish): What a
day. What a (expletive)
day!.
Right on top of the ambient microphone.
Of course, it made no difference to the people because this was in the USA, but the spanish broadcast caught it all. Javier Frana, former top 15 and fellow Argentinean (to Gaudio), simply said: "Some days are worse..."

These are the words of somebody that does not have a complete grasp of reality:
Nick Kyrgios: Australian legends have 'sick obsession with tearing me down'
From the article:
Speaking ahead of his maiden grand slam final, he said: “The greats of Australian tennis, they haven’t always been the nicest to me personally. They haven't always been supportive. They haven’t been supportive these two weeks. So it’s hard for me to kind of read things that they say about me.”
Declaring his Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt – the last Australian to win the Wimbledon men’s singles title – the sole exception, he added: “It’s pretty sad because I don’t get any support from any of the other Australian tennis players, the male side. Not the players, but like the past greats. It’s weird they just have like a sick obsession with tearing me down for some reason.
---0---
Indeed. Why would all these Australian Gentlemen be non-supportive of this fine, young man? (On court. I have made it clear that off the court he has shown to be a nice person, in the past, and pending the resolution of these abuse allegations).

My ancestry is from Brazil. My Great Grandparents are from there and even one of my Great Grand Moms is still alive and is living there. I don't know how to speak Portuguese , but my Grandparents do and my mom does a very little including curse words which I have picked up a few mostly from my two older brothers and I will a lot of times mumble those under my breath on the court.
