Nick Kyrgios truly is one of one.
After an entertaining five-set battle against Brandon Nakashima, the 27-year-old changed into his red Jordans and a red baseball cap - clearly a far-cry from the all-white tennis attire of Wimbledon.
Kyrgios had just moved into his first Wimbledon quarter-final in eight years, playing some of the best tennis of his career as he chases a maiden grand slam.
But during his press conference, one reporter decided it would be a good idea to question Kyrgios and his desire to wear red clothing.
Yes, that was the important part of his Round of 16 match.
In a truly hilarious and trademark Kyrgios exchange, the Aussie star explained his decision and denied that he was upset about the negative publicity surrounding him.
REPORTER: We all know the Wimbledon dress code rules are very strict. Competitors must be dressed in suitable tennis attire that is almost entirely white, and this applies from the point at which the player enters the court surround. Why then, would you walk onto centre court with bright red trainers on and do an interview in a red cap?
KYRGIOS: Umm…because I do what I want.
REPORTER: So, you’re above the rules?
KYRGIOS: No. I’m not above the rules.
REPORTER: So what is it? They don’t apply to you?
KYRGIOS: Well, I just like wearing my Jordans.
REPORTER: But there are rules specifically against that. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but the referees are going to be speaking to you about it afterwards.
KYRGIOS: That’s ok.
REPORTER: And that’s ok?

KYRGIOS: I’ll wear some Triple Whites tomorrow.
REPORTER: That’s fine then. So everyone else in both draws follows the rules?
KYRGIOS: But nobody else, even after Wimbledon, no-one else really walks with Jordans on the court.
REPORTER: Sorry, Nick just moaned about the controversy that surrounds him.
KYRGIOS: I haven’t moaned. I love it.
REPORTER: You’ve laughed it off. So that’s all part of it you reckon?
KYRGIOS: It’s more attention for me. What’s that saying? Any publicity is good publicity, right?
REPORTER: If you say so.
KYRGIOS: Keep doing you then, champion.
Kyrgios will take on Cristian Garin in the final-eight, after Alex de Minaur fell short against the Chilean star despite winning the first two sets, denying Australian fans the chance to see our two best male players in action against each other.
Kyrgios also spoke about his journey from 2014 to now, and how the rollercoaster events of his career have led to this moment.
“I sit here now in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon again, and I just know there’s so many people that are so upset,” he said.
“I just feel like I’ve been through so much. I feel like I’m able to stay more composed.
"I stepped out here against one of the greatest of all time and beat Nadal (in 2014), so these were all things I had at the back of my mind.
“Obviously Brandon hadn’t played on this court, so all these experiences I’ve had I think got me over the line today.
“Today is probably the first time in my career where I wasn’t playing well, regardless of playing Centre Court Wimbledon, fully packed crowd, I was able to just say 'wow, look how far I’ve come’, to myself.
“His level didn’t drop but my five-set level is pretty good and I’ve been here before, done it before and that is what I was thinking about.
“I’ve never lost a five-setter here.”
