Kyrgios about about Alcaraz and Ruusuvuori "boring as hell"

I miss Nick on court. Not so much off.

Nick and Bernie would make a terrific doubles team.

Heck Nick and anyone would make a great doubles team. Wonder why he never took it more seriously especially as he says he likes team participation more than singles.

It was fascinating how Bernie really tried, when playing doubles with Rafa. He has some qualities that are rare. Incredible hand skills.

Nick is unfortunately out of control, and probably always will be. Was in a winning position against Thiem in Australia, had to trick and lost. It would have been very interesting to see his full potensial.

He’s actually a pretty bad doubles player. A long career of first and second round losses. The only time he’s really had success is playing with former no.1 doubles player Jack sock

I don't mind that they are boring. They're tennis players not showmen!

Kyrgios is obsessed with tennis, even when he's retired.
What a fake.
Reminds me of when Murray accidentally revealed that Kyrgios trains as hard as anyone on tour.
The jig is up.

I thought the new Kyrgios was more compassionate and considerate of others’ mental health.

:) I don't think Kyrgios even understands the meaning of those terms. That was just an attempt at social media brownie points he put on, at a time when his ex GF was apparently making some allegations of cheating/abusive behaviour about him, again on social media. Kyrgios has always come across as a textbook example of a Grade A a**h**e. Pity is, some people actually like him for that behaviour, calling it "personality".

why doesnt he delete everything tennis from his social media

He could, but then he wouldn't have at least a few misguided people lauding him for his "personality" and "showmanship". Bit hard to show those supposed traits on his gaming console.

I don’t know, I personally like the groundstrokes on both of these players. Sure they aren’t all courters like Federer, but who is?

If NK plays Alcaraz, I wonder if he will try to out-loud Alcaraz, who clearly makes his noise AFTER the shot. I can see NK DARING the umpire to call hinderence. I would like to see this!!!!

Spectators should buy Default Insurance if buying tickets for their matches.

I know you're making a rhetorical point, but still, spectators pay for sessions that include multiple matches. I've never seen anyone buy a ticket for a doubles match.

Super rhetorical point:

Program of the day:
1st match: men singles, Gilles Simon vs Kei Nishikori
2nd match: men singles: Raonic vs Karlovic
3rd match: men doubles: Nick Kyrgios/Bernie Tomic vs Whoever

You consider to buy the day tickets based on which match?

Elaborating in stereotypes, Alcatraz can’t be boring, because of Spanish exciting citizenship with loud screams.
Ruusuvuori (a nuisance to spellcheck his name every time you write it down), well, Finnish cannot be much exciting at first thought.

When was that?
In one of the hundreds of interviews Murray has done, I don't keep them but I definitely heard it.
Murray is Nick's only friend on tour, so reporters ask for Murray's opinion on him.

Hard to believe someone finds Alcaraz boring while calling themselves a tennis fan. He’s a great clay player but also hits beautiful drop shots and comes to the net a lot. He’s also one of the most promising young guys we have right now. Does he have to start hitting a 1hbh to be called interesting?
