I am. He’s exciting and obnoxiously fun to watch. Tsisipas isn’t particularly an angel anyway.Anyone here rooting for Kyrgios?

I didn't really understand what Rafa was upset about but he called Sonego over to the net and had a talk with him at 4-4 and I think Sonego felt he was being disrespected, I think the problem is with how he approached the issue.Anyone who watched the Nadal-Sonego match who knows what happened in that? Nadal and Sonego had a lengthy chat at the net after the match.
The umpire should've sorted it out - either by telling Nadal it wasn't an issue, or having a chat with Sonego himselfI didn't really understand what Rafa was upset about but he called Sonego over to the net and had a talk with him at 4-4 and I think Sonego felt he was being disrespected, I think the problem is with how he approached the issue.
Sonego screamed when the ball was in play, and Nadal was about to play his shot.
Nadal called him over at the end of the game for a chat, and then they were talking again at the end of the match.
Cheers lads <3I didn't really understand what Rafa was upset about but he called Sonego over to the net and had a talk with him at 4-4 and I think Sonego felt he was being disrespected, I think the problem is with how he approached the issue.
Not sure why you're being so aggressive.Both players are as hugely talented as basically flawed… what were you expecting, realistically? There is Nadal destroying Sonego on the other side of the campus, if you like videogames.
Uh, I was not aggressive at all. I just think virtual reality has skewed sweat reality for good... and many many top sportsmen / women think the same, lamenting the unreal, unbearable pressure and scrutiny they get subjected at any point, any game (Osaka being the most vocal, these days). If you really think that top-15 level tennis is not too good, then the sport has a huge problem for sure.Not sure why you're being so aggressive.
I just got into tennis again recently, and I was thinking this wasn't too good. Just wanted to see if I was off base, so asked here.
See above. Rafa and Djoko are so much above the standard, not the other way round maybe?Nadal and djokovic are on different level. Rest are just sub standard to say the least.
Proper lad.
Not disputing that but find others are not that good either. And I am not saying in comparison to the three greats. Might be debatable but this is the weakest in Tennis era that I can remember.See above. Rafa and Djoko are so much above the standard, not the other way round maybe?
Yeah, Tsitsipas should have slept on it and only spoken tomorrow.
Tbf to Kyrgios, I'm pretty sure I read other players saying the same stuff about Tsitsipas.Thread with Kyrgios’ reaction. Bit of a 180 from the “I love him” comment on court.Tweet

He's an obnoxious cnut who's wasting his talent and behaves like a petulant toddler on court.Why would anyone not like Kyrgios he is a showman, a lot of it is just drama and its entertaining but he was absolutely right that the game should have defaulted. The crowd loves him too, he’s great.
Tennis needs this, a bit of diversity.
Tennis just isn’t used to it, he’d be a saint in football.He's an obnoxious cnut who's wasting his talent and behaves like a petulant toddler on court.
Just spitballing here.
He absolutely wouldn't, the way he speaks to umpires is horrid (even by the different standards of football) and he spat at someone in the crowd literally earlier this week amongst plenty of other shit he's done over the years. He's a tedious cnut who has massively flattered to deceive given the talent he clearly possesses.Tennis just isn’t used to it, he’d be a saint in football.
I love that the purists hate him.
Not sure spitting at the crowd and showing no respect for umpires counts as just drama.Why would anyone not like Kyrgios he is a showman, a lot of it is just drama and its entertaining but he was absolutely right that the game should have defaulted. The crowd loves him too, he’s great.

I'm by no means a purist, I just don't like twats and I think it's a shame that a player as talented as him achieves feck all, because of his dumb antics. I don't hate him at all, it's sad more than anything.Tennis just isn’t used to it, he’d be a saint in football.

On the default, the ref couldn't do shit after he'd let off Kyrgios for all sorts of shit prior to it. There's obviously major protection around Kyrgios because he brings in a new crowd in his minor brief runs, but he has to accept his opponents get protected due to it too.Why would anyone not like Kyrgios he is a showman, a lot of it is just drama and its entertaining but he was absolutely right that the game should have defaulted.

Dunno when your days were, but the word obnoxious is surely spot on as a describer of Nick Kyrgios?Just how easy is to call anyone obnoxious cnut on the internet? In my days, that used to be a properly heavy insult. Nothing compared to Kyrgios, who actually looked better than the two.
Now, with what did Nadal threatened poor Sonego there at the 4:4?
Couldn't get day release I guess.Why hasn’t Boris Becker came out?
