Sports & Fitness Nic, you've lost me....

The Tennis world itself is to blame for the most part - parents as well of course for not teaching the kids the proper etiquette of life when they were younger.

Bjorn Borg's father took his racket off him when he was young after a spree of bad behaviour...I think for about 6 months from memory. It changed his life and the results are history.

The top level of the Organisation is to blame as well; they never hand out severe enough fines to deter the players, and show the Public/set an example that bad sportsmanship is not tolerated.

Most would know that my previous life was in Golf.

Golf - for the most part - is still a game (even at the highest level) where good manners, etiquette, a degree of modesty and dignity still govern.

Yes, there are a few idiots running around (Robert Allenby, of late), but mostly the guys and girls are gentlemen and ladies in their behaviour.

The main reason is because of the people who control the game, and the process of coming up from juniors. All juniors have to play golf at some point with adults in weekly competitions, and the adults they play with keep them in line to a degree.

All Clubs have a Committee who oversee behavior and they are mostly pretty quick to deal with idiot tantrums....suspensions from the Club is the usual penalty, plus; they end up with noone wanting to play with them anyway.

 

I watched Nick play his 2nd round match last night, and I have to say he was very enjoyable to watch.

He behaved very well (except for a couple of games in the middle of the 3rd set - got the sooks up a bit there).

But overall; he brings a lot of great stuff to the game; colour, power, skill, personality, excitement.

His opponent Cuevas by comparison (who is a terrific player) seemed a lot less interesting to watch.

Keep it up Nick!

 

What's the deal with this match fixing scandal?
I'm too lazy to look it up.

 

Crowd boo and abuse Nick Kyrgios following music

This is Nick!
Nick is a giant knob head!
Don't be like Nick!

 

Yes; I thought it was all a bit to good to be true; I thought he had grown up a bit.

He is a bit stupid; he doesn't realise what is staring him in the face; he could possibly be the best player in the world if he can adopt the right temperament and attitude.

His skill and flare makes him very watchable; until he reverts to a truculent 5 year old.

Blaming umpires for everything is not only disrespectful to them and the sport; it is costing him titles and lots of money and followers.

 

Indeed.
I couldn't care less about his antics, and would never watch him play.

 

Yes - Nick was painful to watch last night, with his 2yr old tanties, and then hamming it up ... however ... Dash was brilliant.

Was impressed to see that Tomic appears to have finally grown up - hopefully Nick will follow suit

 

Nick is mentally very very weak. It's so bad I don't think he will ever be able to overcome it. A hard tennis match is an arm wrestle and when it starts to not go his way he just loses it at everything. Lots of talent but because of his mindset he'll never be anything more than a top 20 player at best and even then he won't last long.

 

Good to see you back, Perp!!

 

I think you've hit the nail on the head.
It's not just immaturity, which is something people can grow out of.
Weak character, not something that will change.

 

He needs people around him that will provide positive influence. Hopefully, he realizes this sooner rather than later.

 

He is an absolute prat. Entertaining when he's ahead, but when he's behind or under the pump, The Blame Game kicks off immediately. No-one, including the crowd, is safe.

Saw his practice session at the AO on Tuesday afternoon. The intensity of this session compared to the Big Boys was huge. Might stick around in the top 20-30 for a few years is my prediction.

 

To me..Nic is the same **** as Hewitt. Both douchebags.

 

As we head to Australia day without a single Australian in tennis, this article hits the spot with these spoiled brats in tennis.

Criticising Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios is like shooting fish in a barrel, it's that easy

To summarize, before you open your mouth, win something!
