He's not the worst, but he definitely needs to take more control of his emotions.
For me, the constant whinging after losing every point was the most annoying thing.
Gonna be interesting vs Murray, there'll be a lot of whining in that one :lol:
One thing I admire about Nadal is that he never, ever does this stuff.
He is accused of gamesmanship, but he never breaks racquets, never swears, and never whinges.
He is a very collected person mentally, definitely helps him against Fedovic.

I think it would help Nick a lot too.
The last thing he wants is to turn out similar to Tomic in the sense that he's not well received by his own country.
Negative publicity will only add to the pressure to perform.
This needs to be a learning experience for him and hopefully his brain isn't the size of a pea like Tomic's.
Yes, Nadal's problem is that he's too cool with all his misuse of rules to switch momentum when he's losing.

What does he really do apart from the time thing (which is the umpire's fault anyway)?
Nick has charisma. Novak, not so much.
Nick is going to make a lot of money on endorsements if he keeps up his game. I'm a huge Fed fan, but people need a break from Roger's good manners.
He's a breath of fresh air.
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 Murray will deliver a straight sets beat down.
Honestly the Seppi match could have, and should have, been closed down in the 3rd set. Kyrgios was lost mentally, was way out of the match, all Seppi had to do was hold serve until the pressure ratcheted up in the 3rd, Kyrgios was self destructing. Then he gave away an easy break and Kyrgios got all fired up and ran with it.
Murray won't give him the opportunity to get back in psychologically.
Murray to take tight first set, then easier second and then an easy 3rd that will still have serve-holds till about 4-5.
My prediction: 7-6 6-3 6-4
No im being 100% serious. If he keeps up this attitude and wins a slam tennis is done for me. If he does change then I wont mind him.

Beat his hero enough times for Barty to be thinking about Nadal until his final breath.
Like a good politician, you always change the topic when you're on a losing argument.
:lol: do keep up. I'm not arguing with anybody. I'm saying something about you because I feel like it. You can feel however you want to feel about Nadal. I will continue to let you know how pathetic it is for you to be an adult man with such an odd fixation.
You are the one who is fixated on me. Indeed, you can hardly stop talking about me. As for me, I have nothing against Nadal.
The guy is young he's 19. Cut him some slack, he's barely an adult. His behavior wasn't good but I'm sure he'll come down to earth at some point. Possibly when Murray gives him a beatdown...
I'll call you out as long as you continue to look pathetic. Get used to it.
:roll: really Nat? :lol: You haven't seen acting out if you think that's as bad as it'll get from him.
Fwiw, Roddick at the US Open insinuated that Djokovic was milking an injury, and as for Federer, Fed did tell Djokovic's parents to "shut up!" so there was some history behind those feuds.I'm still waiting for Kyrgios to take his anger out on top players, like Djokovic did with Roddick and Federer.
What I don't get is the arrogance; I can see the poor behaviour on court, but he's been nothing but respectful and courteous to the opposing player in all his interviews. Where does the arrogance come from?
Swearing at the crowd, yelling at innocent ball kids for his towel. All of the pathetic things is did last night are in this article in case you didn't watch it.

He is just in general way too full of himself. How many times he threw his racquets is ridiculous throughout the match. Mark my words the day this kid wins a grand slam is the same day I stop watching tennis. He is an embarrassment to the sport at the moment
“Get off your f***ing phone, mate,”
Pretty sure he said that to someone in his camp, not too sure though. Not good.
“Are you right, mate?” he yelled at another, who screamed out during Kyrgios’ service motion.
Fair call, that's a bad thing to do whatever the occasion.
When one pair attempted to leave the stadium during a game, causing a brief stoppage in play, the young Aussie also got involved.
“Where are you going? he said, drawing a laugh.
This one seemed like a joke, and I don't mind it too much.
The swearing is overblown; it doesn't hurt anyone and it's very tame. The racquet smashing does need to stop, it's not an encouraging move at all.
I wonder why people write that since it's "Komm Jetzt".I like it when the players exclaim though, like "Ajde!" and "Chum Jetze!".
i think NK's attitude is analogous to how Roddick was on court; which i hated alot of the time. but with NK, i don't find it as bad.
NK's is more about swagger, while Roddick's came acroos more like bullying frat to me...
His attitude should improve with age.
Right now he clearly has trouble dealing with pressure and emotion.
The second is the classic duck move after Dimi failed to put Rafa away in the 2nd set last year at the AO (he had, among others, a sitter forehand that he missed either on set point in a previous game or to go up a minibreak or two in the TB, not quite sure).oh man, I'm LOLing bigtime!
i don't recall the middle sequence...
anyway, thats called passion (except the last one).
