Drop him from the Laver Cup.

If you don't, it shows you have no balls and no respect for the game and its officials and umpires, and are only about money, and all your talk about the tradition of tennis is BS.

You have not taken a stand on any important issue in your life, like Justin Gimelstob. Here is a chance to redeem yourself.

Does Fed get to select the Word Team as well as the European Team?

kyrgios should continue with his antics at the "prestigious" laver cup as it is "entertaining".

What a slap in the face of Laver, one of the few players of all time against whom nobody could find anything bad to say. Laver should ask Fed to replace Kyrgios, but I know that he has an Australian affinity to him.

lol the captain for team world is Jmac of all people. Nick is obnoxious, an *******, and extra as hell, but the pearl clutching is kind of hilarious given the various egregious behavior on teh ATP and lets be real by teh ATP.

Also I did think fed said he did believe in equal pay, but maybe im remembering incorrectly.

Yet another example of people who say "why is everything always about Federer " and yet seem incapable of making anything in the game NOT about Federer.

More Federer bashing out of jealousy. He's the People's Champion and they can't stand it.
Bashing Fed for Kyrigos action is stupid, it is only 3 day tournament, primary motive is entertainment, don't watch it if you don't like it, I have still to watch a single match in Laver cup history.

Equal pay for women?

Jesus... They're getting way more than they deserve. Market forces should decide their pay not Affirmative Action or politics. Virtue-signaling isn't a virtue, it is a flaw.

RF is as PC as they come.

Roger's job isn't to police bad behaviour. His job isn't to play Moral Judge.

As for "balls", all the Big 3 are PC diplomats afraid to speak truthfully. They are equally guilty of that.

It is run by his agent and is an invitation-only tournament (one reason why the ATP should never have endorsed it), so they can do anything.

I agree with you Sureshs he probably should.

Not happening, he would give both Federer and Kyrgios a complex with 'em sureshian half volleys.

Not to mention the service motion; like Federer's, only smootherer. (y)

S would also inspire new generations with his all court game, and Big3 don't want that to happen...

No way. As outlandish as Nick can be, he's also correct in pointing out the "selectivity" of how rules are applied, creating inherently unequal competition. Fed probably likes that Nick is just saying what Fed has been thinking for years!!!

I thought the LC was a joke, so why does it matter who plays in it?
Exactly. If there is a place where someone like Kyrgios should play tennis, then at such an exhibition. There he can make a gimmick of his "arguments" with referees, just like McEnroe did on the Senior tour or in other exhibitions after his career.

i find it hilarious when people condemn certain players for their behavior, like nick (which by the way im not saying he shouldn't penalized or called out he absolutely should) but fawn over the likes of fognini.

Also see we have trash users going about how women already get paid more, lmao at market forces when literally the only people tuning into the ATP are for a select few players.

It's the one tournament that he cares about too. He likes team stuff.

Laughing equally hard at virtue-signalers too afraid to directly reply to people they "criticize".

I don't bite. Feel free to tell me what burdens your heavy heart, friendly one.

Pray tell, which WTA players pull millions to their seats...

Not the Big 4 though. Sir Murray is very different.
