ATP fines Nick Kyrgios $16,500 for 'lack of best efforts' and conduct

[Chadillac]

Tanking isnt bad unless there is money on the match. The consistency in which the rule is enforced is laughable. One is a lifetime ban, one is a small fine (nick still made money this week) for the same exact offense.

He might be going through depression. Lack of motivation, and loss of interest.

Basically he just doesn't accept losses to players he looks down on. That's down right arrogance and disrespect. He should learn some 'life lessons' to respect others, as someone stated.

You don't tank a match like that if your fixing it for betting. He shouldn't be that stupid, or is he? lol

Isn't that the perfect defense? Making it so obvious so you can say "noone would be so blatant".

Tennis needs st. Nick more than ever, and fans, haters and umpires alike know this
