2017 Miami SF - [4] Roger Federer vs [12] Nick Kyrgios

[red rook]

Conspiracy theory: Kyrgios is doing everything in his power to become a bad boy and the antagonist, and the attention and advertisement that comes along with it

 

[SinjinCooper]

*yawn*

 

[Nostradamus]

If NICK is destined to be such a Great player,,,,,,,,,,Wouldn't he have gotten in 2 HUGE bomb 1st serves to take the match at 5-4 UP ?????????? Instead he misses both 1st serves and even double faulted once............... and of course, GOAT Federer gets his 1st serve in at match point 6-5.........................LOL

 

[tennis_pro]

Fed proved a point today allright.

 

[icedevil0289]

tbh fed did have mps before this, so idk if i necessarily agree that w/o the df nick would have won. the crowd definitely had a role in that though.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Kyrgios should be banned from the tour. Disgusting.

Wouldn't mind him being banned from Djokovic's matches.

 

[MasturB]

Nick has the talent Tsonga had in 08 if not better. I hope he can do what Jo couldn't and actually win a slam.

 

[AngryBirds]

3 tie break sets.. Kyrgios wasn't really putting much pressure on Fed's serve. This is like a serve bot battle here. Fed's playing ok, but not anywhere near his best. I'd expect Nadal to win in the final if Fed doesn't raise his level.

 

[marc45]

It ain't easy to be a villain.

villain on the court, villains in the stands...pro wrestling night

 

[Tomxc]

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

fed really lucky there. the match was on Nick racket. *** that wh0r that called out.

Match was on Fedrs racket in the 2nd set too though. It was just a great match in general.

 

[PeteD]

Wasn't there a song,"I'm in love with a freak"?

 

[AceSalvo]

Fed proved a point today allright.

If you behave like a D8ck, you become one?>>?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Fed will destroy Nadal in the Final

Idk about that. How much does fed have in the gas tank? Nadal will have alot left.

 

[redbirdone]

I feel sorry for Kyrgios. Crowd is too unruly tonight. Nick might or might not have been confused by the crowd call "out" but spectators misbehaved tonight. That is for sure.

Same thing happened with Fed tonight. Someone yelled "out" on a ball on the line and Fed mis hit it to lose the point in a big moment.

 

[The Green Mile]

So the crowd shouldn't care if a player acts the way Kyrgios did? Breaking racquets, kicking balls, telling them to shut up, excessive delays...if he can change his tune the same crowd would be behind him.

LOL, no way. The crowd already have an agenda, and we're unfairly treating Nick before any of the antics started to happen. He's been better the last couple months, trying to get on with things, but no, the crowd would have none of it. You would never see crap like this in places like NZ, Germany and the likes. Those crowds are respectful no matter what.

Can't believe anyone would try to defend this crowd. They were pulling out all the tricks today.

The match was fun though, regardless.

 

[mike84]

The crowd.

WTFFFFFFF


I hope Nick tears them apart at post press conference.

Should never play Miami again until security starts throwing out idiots in crowd.




............

This match was instant classic.

Shame someone had to lose.

 

[-NN-]

O M G. Another F E D A L.


Did they do something in Nadal's Academy in October 2016?? Some kind of Holy Pledge to attack the 2017 season?

Dunno, maybe they are friendly like so...

 

[icedevil0289]

i dont get why some fed fans are being ***** to nick, fed won. calm down

 

[guanzishou]

Wouldn't mind him being banned from Djokovic's matches.

LooooooL

 

[LazyNinja19]

Fed fangirls in the crowd seeing that their master gets through

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Dunno, maybe they are friendly like so...

Well we all know who the dude on the right is

 

[tennis_pro]

If you behave like a D8ck, you become one?>>?

Kyrgios was sooo sure of himself, so certain that he's gonna win, you could see this in his body language and it annoyed me as hell. Federer tempered him at the end like a pencil.

 

[Conan]

Fun match. Federer did great keeping the foot on the gas and staying uber aggressive. So happy for the win another Rafa Rog final.

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

Idk about that. How much does fed have in the gas tank? Nadal will have alot left.

Fed will be fine. He is fine tuned from playing a difficult opponent, so no rust coming in. He has a full day of rest. No more than a slam match. The problem for Nadal is that he can not depend on exploiting Feds BH. He is slow and not as sharp. Just don't see Rafa winning.

 

[Sereger]

So the crowd shouldn't care if a player acts the way Kyrgios did? Breaking racquets, kicking balls, telling them to shut up, excessive delays...if he can change his tune the same crowd would be behind him.

I'll be the crowd wouldn't do the same. They root for Fed. Nick's behaviors only earned him the extra boos

 

[Fed881981]

i dont get why some fed fans are being ***** to nick, fed won. calm down

He smashed the racket near the net when Fed was waiting for him to shake hands. Disgusting!

 

[TheFifthSet]

Fedr was waiting at the net while Nick smashed his racket at the service line.

L A W L.

Poor Nicky. Can only imagine how awful the crowd was. I'm sure he didn't do himself any favors though.

 

[Thundergod]

As an American, these US crowds suck. It makes me embarrassed.

 

[Zebrev]

I swear, I wouldn't be surprised if Nick relapses after this.

 

[PeteD]

Question:If Fed won more 1st serves 85%-75%, and 2nd serves 58%-53%, then why was the match so close?

 

[Deleted member 720910]

Maybe if Nick practiced what he preached the crowd wouldnt be complete ***** to him.

 

[KINGROGER]

I think Fed won't have any gas to play Ralph for 3 sets. If Lord Fedr wins Sunday it's in two.

No problems.

Servebot on his own serve. Should be simple enough with Rafa's ridiculous positioning.

Attack Rafa's weak WTA 2nd serve for breaks.

6-4, 6-3 or something.

 

[RS92]

What an unbelievable match.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Kyrgios tanking ruins a match too. Is there a difference?

That's his stupid choice and he gets punished. The crowd doing it does nothing but annoy fans and impact players and results. They don't get punished but they ruin it for the viewers.

 

[icedevil0289]

Match was on Fedrs racket in the 2nd set too though. It was just a great match in general.

yeah i kind of rme when people act like nick was leading or something the entire time.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

i dont get why some fed fans are being ***** to nick, fed won. calm down

I'm a big Kyrgios fan and I love his game and even his antics to a large degree but any reverse-trolling he gets from anyone it is going to be hard to not say it's justified.

 

[JoelSandwich]

This win was really satisfying, I feel really happy for Roger.

 

[kanamit]

They were worse than New York. Not THAT much worse.

It's the same thing every year with this crowd. Reason 1,231 why the Miami Open sucks ass.

 

[Fed881981]

As an American, these US crowds suck. It makes me embarrassed.

I'm embarrassed to be a tennis fan and having this d*ck playing tennis. He shouldn't be allowed to play this game. He just doesn't learn, does he?

 

[sliceroni]

Are you serious? They timed it?

Yup. I just watched the breaker again. 118. crazy

 

[TennisFan436]

Kyrgios should be banned from the tour. Disgusting.

Banned for what exactly? Pushing your grandpa to the edge of defeat?

Kyrgios will come back with a vengeance. He has the legs and youth. Grandpa does not.

 

[Petrus]

I'm a big Kyrgios fan and I love his game and even his antics to a large degree but any reverse-trolling he gets from anyone is going to be hard to not say it's justified.

what a loser this nick guy is....what a disgrace....what is the hype? no talent, just a ball basher, no manner, give me a break.

 

[redbirdone]

LOL, no way. The crowd already have an agenda, and we're unfairly treating Nick before any of the antics started to happen. He's been better the last couple months, trying to get on with things, but no, the crowd would have none of it. You would never see crap like this in places like NZ, Germany and the likes.

While I agree with what you're saying, they came in with an agenda, but didn't really play to it until he became unhinged. If he would have stayed cool, calm and collected the crowd would still have been pro-Fed, but not anti-Kyrgios. There is a difference.

He poured gasoline on the fire they were trying to light, and sometimes I think he knew it and did it anyways. That's why he needs a coach that isn't about the X's and O's of tennis, but about the space between his ears.

Yes the 35 year old didn't have to do a thing out in the middle....
The crowd did everything....

[Sereger]

Nick has the talent Tsonga had in 08 if not better. I hope he can do what Jo couldn't and actually win a slam.

Maybe not. Tsonga destroyed an in form Nadal in straights, not a Grandpa.

 

[marc45]

only so much one Australian can take of fans cheering his missed serves....I enjoyed watching him battle the fans...that was destiny, other players can brush that off, he can't, and that's good for entertainment, though probably not for his game....he lost but he did help to shine a spotlight on these insane Fed fans...they did the same thing to Berdych as well, hardly a hot head

 

[TennisFan436]

I'm embarrassed to be a tennis fan and having this d*ck is playing tennis. He shouldn't be allowed to play this game.

Who the F*** are you to determine who should and should not be allowed to play?

A nobody, that's what. I am a tennis fan and I approve of Kyrgios.

 

[BeatlesFan]

If NICK is destined to be such a Great player

He came razor close to beating the GOAT and Roger played well this match. Nick already IS a great player. It's possible to hate this brat's attitude and antics (and racket smashing... grow the hell up) but to also admire his insane talent.
