Fucking beautiful aaaahh. Big congratulations to the Ruskie, thoroughly deserved win.
Won't watch any more of the men's side of the tournament. Mission already accomplished lol. Great day
Not open to Kyrgios any more....lol. But yeah, it was close. He's getting better mentally (if not emotionally)
pushing on in the doubles was probably a mistake TBH
Don't hold back.... tell us what you really think. But yeah, the dude's a Derek.... still makes for compulsive viewing though.
Still cannot think of a bigger dickhead in world sport and it's a big list. Peaheart Nick really is King Dick. Watching him lose is super enjoyable.
Maybe....but I think he is still mentally checking out at certain moments.....much less frequently than he once was, but it still happens and is his biggest issue, I think. If he would just fully commit himself mentally and get a coach he'd be close to unstoppable, IMO.
Tennis is a bit boring without him TBH. Doe anyone really know/care about any of the players remaining in the draw? How many have people even hard of?
His matches are enjoyable to watch. Especially when he shits the bed.
I hope a Russian wins, just because it will trigger all the hand wringers who think they should not be playing due to actions of the Russian government they have nothing to do with. Rublev may be a chance.
win or lose, it's always a show
He just lost a 5 setter in the quarters of a Slam that was wide open to win. He shook the other guys hand. Who gives a shit if he slams a few racquets for 10 seconds?
there's better ways to control anger than smashing 2 tennis racquets after losing a 5 set qtr final match though. I couldn't care less about it but its just a bad look for the sport
And there's the reason why he will never have a coach and never win a Grand Slam, ever!
She would love the free trips around the world. Don't think she would think much of the douche anyway TBH, always looks bored as hell watching a match. All his hangers-on must love being spoken to like dogs up in the box.
Smashing racquets has been happening for decades. From McEnroe to Ivanisevic to Kygrios. There have always been the "bad boys" in tennis.
I agree 100% with you on this. People hate seeing emotions in athletes. I prefer athletes show emotion as it means they care. Also others want to bitch about everything these days.
I couldn't care less if he wants to smash racquets..... but don't like the way he berates his player box at times, and has directed inappropriate sledges at players (both male and female) and officials. I like watching him play, but the bloke probably does need to sit down with a good sports psychologist.
Nothing to do with smashing a racquet for me. Everything to do with the pissweak way he conducts himself, especially once things start going against him. Telling everyone within earshot that he could barely walk when he lost the first set, gets a bit of KY jelly rubbed on his knee then all of a sudden he's feeling great. Complaining about the crowd when he loses a point, content enough with them yelling out on a point that he has won. Just the general demeanor of a massive flog.
