It's about a tennis player acting like the biggest fricking prime Donna tool you can possibly imagine. I'm on my phone. You have to watch the video to believe it anyway.

Talented kid, total head case. He has said he doesn't even like tennis. It's too bad because he is the one young guy who could bring in casual fans with his bad boy attitude. Don't really see him ever grinding out a major. Maybe Wimbledon if he catches fire.

Holy smokes, I just watched the videos. I never push for this, but he should get 6-12 months ban. I bet Nike drops him pronto.

I don't follow tennis, but anytime an athlete purposely loses that blatantly they should be banned from the sport for a while. Not forever because he is clearly just an immature kid. But he needs to realize you can't do that at the pro level

What if you're a fan who paid money for that match?

He said to that question " I don't owe them anything; They should just leave If they don't like it"

This happens a lot in tennis but not this blatantly. It's why I stopped betting tennis, you never really know who wants to win at these smaller tournaments.

I knew this was a Kyrgios thread before clicking, dude is mentally unstable on the court.

Wow that might be one of the douchiest things I've ever seen by a pro athlete. If I was a fan at that match, I would have been heckling the shite out of that dude. What a fricking pussy you are Nick

And yet Kyrigos also regularly talks openly about how he doesn't enjoy playing tennis, and how he wishes he were an NBA player instead. At Wimbledon in 2015, he showed his talent by reaching the fourth round, but then stopped trying against Richard Gasquet in his fourth-round match because he was mad at the chair umpire.

Must be Kyrgios, dude is probably the most athletic player on tour and also a frickstick.

That's why he needs to be suspended heavily, to keep the integrity to the fans intact.

The official term for that in the Oxford English Dictionary is "tough shite."

If nobody has ever heard of him, does it matter?

I just saw what he did (or didn't do)...what a f'ing punk! what makes it worse is what he had to say after the match at the presser...he needs his arse kicked IMO...I hope he loses all his endorsements. and there's my tennis contribution for the year

Just because you haven't heard of him, doesn't mean a fair amount of people on this board are the same way. Kyrgios is fun to watch on occasion, and he's just 21, but at the same time many of his action over the past couple years have been incredibly classless and bad for the game.

If you're too tired to play in a tournament WD before it even starts because you're just taking a spot from someone else. It's not like his first match exhausted him. He handled Querrey in under an hour.

my favorite kyrgios moment is when he told wawrinka at the net that kokkinakis banged his girlfriend. the guy is a nut job.

There are multiple people in this thread identifying exactly which tennis player this is without clicking the link.

Dummy.
