I don't think that was arrogance I think he actually felt that way. He definitely shouldn't have said that in his press conference though. He has learnt the right things to say now
Kyrgios attitude is pathetic!

At the end of the day he's only 19. When I was his age I would party until 3-4am when I had an 8am class. College yrs, the good ole' days
Yeah well im only a year older and I would never act that way

Definitely agree, like how he talked about Becker's ailing body last year.

His old character still shows through sometimes, such as when the crowd doesn't like him, and when he is losing.
What has changed is that he wins more, so has less to be angry about.
Federer can be an angry man too sometimes. :lol:

Federer can be an angry man, but I think it's better to be angry and smash a racquet or two than cause feuds and try to fight with players. :lol:
I've never heard of a player having a true issue with Federer besides Djoker.

You would't catch Federer versing the crowd as much as his opponent, that's for sure.
He is mostly very mature, and knows his position.

But comparing djokovic to kyrgios in the attitude department is ridiculous. Kyrgios is the GOAT.

“Get off your f***ing phone, mate,” the 19-year-old yelled at one fan after losing a point at Hisense Arena.

Kygios was on the angry pills last night early, was pent up but in Australia he's carrying the weight of an expectant country. Stressful and the people around wore it. But there has been worse behavior and hey if your speaking on the phone in a player's ear shot you deserve to wear some ****.

^The excuses made for the way he's acting are lame. No other players are behaving that way. He's this, he's that, he's 19, he may have heard the guy, etc... regardless.. he's wrong. His tennis is awesome, but his personality needs to come up about 5 notches.

Nadal is basically the least cocky player of all time, so I see the appeal in your case.
"I'm gonna try my best, no?"
Well then why do you excuse Novak for causing a temper tantrum delay at a GS final, at 25.... 5 years older than Krygious?
Very foolish to act like Novak is mature. Having a child and being married doesn't equate to maturity. Why would childhood tennis player Gulbis say Novak is a fake, since he knew him from middle school.

Novak said to the crowd in Madrid 2013 to go suck his dong. But frankly they kind of deserved it :lol: But that's all I can think of that is comparable to kyrgios last night.

Krygious isn't even close to pulling the crap Novak has pulled...
Who on Krygious team has dry humped a car after a title win, like Novaks coach in Madrid after beating Nadal? Oh, that would be Novaks coach?
Who made a sicko video with Tipsaravich using a fake gun, indicating other players, particularly Nadal would want to shoot him? Oh, yea, novak...
Who got a bad rep and was mocked by other players for retiring...... Oh yea, that would be Novak!
Nothing Krygious has done compares to the crap Novak has pulled.

True, but I'm not allowed to speak on the matter. We all know Novak is an angel and we are pulling stuff out of the blue because he beat Nadal in important matches 4 years ago

Novak is not an angel but compared to kyrgios he is.
But we all know if a fed or nadal made this thread there would be no problems here. Because fed has never told djokovics family to shut up

"He's just 19... he'll grow out of it."
Really? He's 19, he's not 12. People seem to think 19 year olds are little children with no control over their impulses. When I was 19 I had held a job and travelled through 7 countries independently, I had studied a year of college and I never had little-baby tantrums like this guy.
He's 19, he won't grow out of this; he has grown into this.

You better preach. Neither me, or my 20yo brother, or any other 19-20yo I know acted that way. He won't grow out of it, you'll see the full extent of it if he ever wins a slam.
Did you decide that you would take up the top fan from the Novak fan that got banned on an average of 3-4 times a year.....

I think it's more a result of his competitive fire than his nature. He's just a more passionate and expressive individual and his attitude is a manifestation of this.
He did, for example, praise Seppi's shot on at least one occassion IIRC.
That said, does anyone find Seppi strangely likeable despite his boring personality and game? His strokes are clean, efficient and easy to emulate; his attitude has always been calm reserved, and respectful. He's like the stereotypical Joe in any fictitious team with sound fundamentals, a work-ethic and a no-nonsense attitude.

Seppi's actually one of the super nice guys of the game. A real gentlemen. I wouldn't say he's boring - if you watch his interviews for Italian TV, he's an interesting guy, but always polite, modest and respectful.

You have to admit, the car humping is kind of funny.
Inappropriate, but kind of funny. :lol:
And he wasn't yelling at a ball-boy at the time either.
Man, see past the hate.
Kyrgios was at least as bad as Novak has ever been last night, worse IMO.

Yeah, I agree. The "he's only 19" defense is unrealistic. Who in the history of the game acted a turd at 19 and didn't at 29?

Ironic thread is Ironic. A sampling of very bad swearing, racket smashes ( I don't mind that too much personally), and special bonus at the end: beating up signs from Nole.

There if no need of such threads from Fed/nole/rafa fans .. noone among them is a saint ..
They all hve done questionable things in past ..
nishikori ,tim smyzek etc. are humble ppl .
'Big 3 ' fans shud stop justifying der player's behaviour .. they all are arrogant ,its just that one is gud actor , the other isnt ..

Guy has some issues-probably being a Greek pretending to be an Aussie is a large part of it. He needs to slow down on big points or he will never win a slam.

A bit of an exaggeration, no? I agree though. His attitude right now is terrible. Fun to watch though (both game and player). I think (or at least hope) it will get better with age and experience...

I think Kyrgios is nowhere near as bad as Novak. Looking at these is scary. No wonder he has few fans. The Murray victory especially is disgusting.
