I think kyriagos though alluding to something more sinister possibly. The guy does seem to have That Williams sister chip on the shoulder about him. I agree that the top players get a free ride but I do wonder sometimes what kyriagos motives are with some of his comments

As much as I dislike the ego and tag "NK Rising" thank the unholy Spirit for Young Kyrgios as we finally have some excitement in the pusher sport its has become
Mr Nole is a pusher in tennis and now pesty umps nothing new, any negative contact towards an official is classified as a match finisher but thank goodness Nadal was defeated by the new master hacker. If you are no1 in the world and had 12 attempts at Roland Garros with no success till definitely now the 13th try, then frustration must be expected.
Nole must be even more motivated now in a field where a 37 year old S&V stepps has a lead over his only recent pusher & challenger the Muzzer

You know that Zverev is learning from his mistakes and Kyrgios isn't? How exactly?
They are both young. All that matters for them is that they don't squander their talent and they go on and win some big titles, otherwise they will both look like fools with their on court antics.

Kyr messed with a fellow player in a very bad way and if I remember correctly was put on probation. Then shortly after that was fined in Shanghai. He has repeatedly been warned by umpires for obscenity. And now he yells at the ballboy. You call that learning?
Zeverev cursed umpire one time, something most everyone has done. And he was 18. Kyr is 21 and still not as mature as Raonic was at 17.
You like him? Fine. Just dont try to make excuses for him.
He is a a-hole in my book.

I am not saying that Kyrgios' on court behavior is acceptable. He has some issues for sure but Zverev seems to have a hot temper as well from what I've seen.
I am not excusing Kyrgios' attitude but at the same time, I find his tennis explosive and interesting to watch, much more so than the other young players so we'll see what happens and whether or not Kyrgios can reach his full potential or whether he will blow it.

Having a hot temper (at times.....Zverev) and being a complete Douc*ebag (all the time......Kyrgios) are just sooooo different. No amount of "tennis explosiveness" can cover up the filth that Kyrgios is show casing on......every time , imo

I understand your point of view and the Kyrgios act is tiresome and will become more so if he can't "produce" and win big matches/tournaments.

Novak responds to Kyrgios comments
"Well, I saw that. I saw that particular situation that happened in his match," Djokovic said.
"What can I say? It's his choice that he wants to bring it out there. I don't know what he has done.
"I don't know the nature of his gestures on the court and why he got a code violation, whether or not it was only for the towel or maybe something before that happened.
"I'm not getting into it. It's completely his choice.
"So, you know, by mentioning my name, I don't think it was necessary, but again, I've got to respect his choice."

In my opinion Novak tried to be politically correct and did not give a fitting reply to his diatribe, which i reckon he is reserving it for when they meet on court in a real match. It will be more prudent of Krygios to compare himself to Nole in terms of his tennis achievements or tennis skills rather than compare his confrontations/skirmishes with umpires and referees.

it will be even more interesting when those 2 (at last !!!) play each other
novak didn't appear to care about kyrgios' comments here... but who knows......
it reminds me of novak's attitude when he played roddick in the QF of the 2007 USO... after the "SRAS incident"
he really wanted to spank roddick when he entered the court... and this match ended up being a tight and thrilling 4-setters !
but it was a long time ago... now novak probaby has more experience and wisdom

Andy acted like a dork and regarding his comments maybe he intended as a jab but soon after events took a nasty turn. Novak was not mature enough to handle such direct attack, hence took it seriously and wanted to settle things on court, tennis wise of courseit will be even more interesting when those 2 (at last !!!) play each other

unless Roddick wanted to take things in his hand literally . Plus maybe Roddick thought of Novak as a player of his similar stature, slam wise since Novak had one only 1 slam then, hence went out in full throttle. But things cooled down for good between them as time passed by.If Krygios ever tries to emulate that behaviour, i am sure Nole would answer him in the language of tennis, and if things go too far he will perhaps call his Italian gentleman friend who will deal with him in the parking lot...ahem...Fogna as people affectionately call him.

Smart move from Djokovic , he shouldn't allow himself to be a part of another media spin about him right in time of RG . Champ knows how to deal with it.

Roddick was butthurt the entire 2008 tourney because everyone thought a hitting below .500 for the season, never did anything in a Major Gulbis was going to beat him in R2, and he was insulted.
He misdirected his anger toward a young, Gluten filled tummy, Djoker.
A classic bully move.

It's about precedent. Everybody knows Ferrer is an honest, hard-working guy who never makes problems. He has the years on the tour to prove it and that gives him some credit.
Nick has a history of being a troublemaker. Therefore, all umpires are extra-alert when they ref his matches. There is a pedagogical aspect to this..
