Nick Kyrgios gets defaulted in Rome

[Aussie Darcy]

Threw a chair on the court

He’d just won the second set and went up a break in the third but got broken

He has just shocked a total of zero individuals.

 

[E36BMWM3]

wow lol... all hopes of him facing Djokovic, just flushed down the toilet

 

[Night Slasher]

...well, he hates clay anyway.

 

[weakera]

Judy Murray says that this makes him special, fun and good for tennis though. So there's that.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

 

[Red Rick]

Clearly doesnt get kicked in the face enough

 

[OhYes]

What a bad actor. Possible trashing incoming from Nole, and runs like a coward he is.

 

[Deine VS]

It's not evan interesting or funny anymore.
As I said in different post, forget tennis. He has more serious issues.

 

[OhYes]

He is Andy's "bro" after all.

 

[TheAssassin]

Couldn't handle our viking Ruud. Or the potential beatdown that was waiting tomorrow.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Lol, what a pr1ck. Criticises Djokovic for withdrawing from a match due to heat exhaustion(over ten years ago mind you) then the very next day does something far worse by getting himself disqualified due to his appalling behaviour. Good riddance.

I had literally just posted how he was looking like he’d get his grudge match against Novak and then 10 seconds later he did that. They were slated to meet in the QF. Novak was one Kohlschreiber/Cecchinato win away from doing his part and Kyrgios just had to close out the third set against Ruud and then beat an only recently returned DelPo. Instead this happens lol.

 

[George Turner]

Djokovic is breathing a sigh of relief.

 

[OhYes]

Djokovic is breathing a sigh of relief.

Are you serious ?????

nickie ? you've got a visitor...

... a certain mister D. ​

 

[rovex]

He was losing. Who likes to lose.

 

[Deon Sanders]

And there you go people. The kid is in need of a psychologist, fast. I am not kidding here. He has a severe narcissistic personality disorder, that stems from being a fat kid as a child.

Such a waste of talent.

If you want to see yet another example of why his talent is a myth re-watch the match today

A literally endless flow of trick shots dumped into the net or hit 10 feet out of bounds

Casuals would see a highlight clip with the 2 out of 60 shots he did make and think he is talented

He serve botted himself into staying alive against a challenger player and still fell apart in the end

 

[AM75]

He's trying too hard.

 

[RF-18]

Again, attention seeking.

I wouldn't go that far

Look at Jesus

Was going to say exactly same thing - his talent is as with everyone else in circuit. All he does are repetitive hot dogs or underhand serve which he already saw elsewhere.

 

[OhYes]

I feel sorry for people taking all this shiit too seriously

Feel sorry for you that hot story from yesterday you were gloating on, got it's genuine certificate today.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Important question: when was the last time a player was defaulted from a main draw ATP main draw match?

Nalbandian against Cilic in the Queens final 2012?

I know Darian King was defaulted from a challenger tournament around two years ago and Shapo at the Davis Cup but I’m talking main draw ATP event.

[Sysyphus]

An excellent homage to McEnroe's famous DQ in I believe Stockholm? Purists will help me out on that one. Excellent twist with throwing the chair instead of golf-swinging it.

Nick knows how to pay tribute to his idols.

 

[Mainad]

All part of Nick's devilishly cunning plan to keep his unbroken record against Novak intact so he can taunt him with it whenever Ben Rothenberg comes a calling.

all mad that he was, mcenroe wasn't afraid to try, though...

Relax max, I feel you had a terrible sleepless night yesterday

 

[denoted]

Unjustified in my view. What did he even do that was against the code?

If only he had 1/10th of JMac’s talents

 

[TheAssassin]

LOL

 

[r2473]

Did it go down as a default or a retirement?

In the video clip above, it looked like he was assessed penalties. He threw the chair and the umpire called for the ref. Then he walked off the court.

But was he defaulted?

It's not a default but a forfeit.

Oh yeah preach some more, I was all in tears. I was whole time in that thread from page 1 to page infinity. I even made couple of threads about Kyrgios.

Definitely seems that way doesn't it?

Difference is that Johnny Mac won titles, and had the game to back up his big mouth.

 

[Red Rick]

If I were Nike I would have paid serious money to let him skip clay season

 

[junior74]

How Ruud

Melbourne and the funny thing is that the chair umpire back then was the supervisor of Nick's match.

 

[acintya]

not too bad


send me a message when he punches somebody or something like that

 

[er4claw]

I dont think his talent is a myth. Anyone who gets into the top 20 and can beat the best players has to be talented and if he trains as little as he claims his potential prob is top 5. Is he a once in a century mercurial talent? No not even close imo.

 

[helixx]

But was he defaulted?

nope, he just left(basically retired)

 

[Sysyphus]

for reals? That is incredible. Nick no doubt factored this into his tribute.

Default

Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine

It’s gone down as a default. Video doesn’t show it, perhaps the umpire didn’t get the chance to verbally say it but it appears it’s marked down as a default.

 

[vex]

Lol hopes. Facing Djokovic lol. Just lol all around

Must be suspended 6 months or a year and prize money earned in 2019. Nick has a problem to conduct his frustration, he want to win so much as Nadal, but makes this shows when he realizes he won t win, he cannot accept he is not good enough to play a high level for a month or more, so get pissed when a warrior, a hard worker like Ruud gets him down. No trainer, no need to rest the night before a match, no need to diet or train, perfect excuses to justify all his loses.
But there is only responsible for these shows we have seen the last 4 o 5 years, and that is ATP management.
If you are in a flight, and a boy cry, yell, runs all over, kick the seat in front of... is it his fault or his parents? Same situation here, ATP needs to put limits to a child that wasn´t educated, and as this is not happening, it´s getting worse.
A total lack of consideration for the crowd that paid a huge priced ticket for a tennis match (not to see in particular Kyrgios, just 2 tennis pros doing their best to win a match), not a clown show with poor taste.
