Nick Kyrgios gets defaulted in Rome

[OhYes]

Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine

ok

 

[weakera]

 

[norcal]

Why did he quit, what happened?

 

[vex]

Djokovic asked about dat upcoming Kyrgios match...

 

[hendrasdr]

I have to google what default means in tennis

 

[natalia]

 

[r2473]

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.

He could face some serious repercussions from this. Not just fines. He might get suspended for a while. ATP does not like this sort of thing.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

LOL.

 

[davced1]

Maybe they call it default because it doesn't look good for the sport with players just walking off the court like that?

 

[vex]

He just doesn’t have the talent to compete with more talented players like Ruud

 

[Deleted member 688153]

ahaha

Nick's done enough for the week. Maybe he'll realise he's supposed to win matches eventually

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

YOLO

Well he got that three month ban back in 2016 so it wouldn’t be new.

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Maybe the clay got his shoes dirtier than usual.

This guy really has no respect for himself or anyone else.

 

[haqq777]

@Aussie Darcy I just remembered one. Delray Beach. Mannarino got Dqd for unsportsmanlike conduct. Was R2 versus Edmund. Let me search for when that happened.

Just checked. Was 2017.

It's funny because grass stains doesn't seem to be a problem for him

Ah yes I remember now. Nearly hit a ballkid or something?

 

[haqq777]

Yep, had already kicked a chair and hit a ball towards a ball boy when he struck a ball out of the stadium. Got defaulted.

 

[yokied]

As Sysyphus says, an excellent homage. Bravo Nick. Tennis sure has a lot of strange names but I don't think I could hold it together for 3 sets playing a guy called Casper either.

 

[apriliano]

Getting a ban just before grass season.

Genius!

Dimitrov was defaulted in a final in 2016 I think?

 

[OhYes]

Maybe it is now time for comments from Nick how Djokovic gets away with breaking rackets.

 

[Red Rick]

Dimitrov was defaulted in a final in 2016 I think?

That was a match losing game penalty

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

In your face Nick !

 

[Red Rick]

Getting a ban just before grass season.

Genius!

Genius, going unbeaten on grass during clay season

 

[George Turner]

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.

Mcenroe was disqualified in Australia 1990.

THe hilarious stockholm incident

 

[Deleted member 77403]

That's just insane.

 

[icedevil0289]

lol tbh i dont think he was beating del potro anyway.

 

[Sysyphus]

Dimitrov was defaulted in a final in 2016 I think?

ah yes, the day when Dimitrov firmly cemented his spot in the Racquet Smasher Hall of Fame.

Probably the best sheer meltdown I have seen on a tennis court, although the competition is admittedly strong.

 

[TheMaestro1990]

Gif-moment of the year

 

[mbm0912]

Tennis' "bad boy"

 

[augustobt]

Why he got a game penalty in the first place? I was driving to work after 1st set tie-break and got here with him being defaulted, oombeleabable

 

[Djokovic2011]

Gif-moment of the year

It's the gif that keeps on giving.

 

[icedevil0289]

i assume the atp will do more to nick than they did to someone who was actually convicted of assault. that isnt to stay that nick doesnt deserve flack or shouldnt be punished b'/c ofc he should. fortunately that chair was thrown in the open or he didnt kick someone while they were sitting in a chair.

btw would this count as default or retirement tech since he walked off?

[icedevil0289]

i think im more annoyed nick used the r word than anything else so i heard. smh

They need detective pikachu on the case.

Still a worthless mug.

 

[RF-18]

Perma ban him

 

[sureshs]

I think it is time he is kicked out of the tour. With all of his talent, he hasn't won a Slam yet, and is making a mockery of the sport.

 

[Sysyphus]

imagine the amount of clicks, traffic and news coverage he has generated on behalf of the ATP

they will give him a bonus, under the table.

And Nick does hop on Twitter, to laugh at Ruud’s over the top reaction to winning by default.

[StringGuruMRT]

Looks like he wanted to get back to the Bahamas for a few days before going out in Rd 1 of Roland Garros

lol ben called it, he is posted on twitter already if im not mistaken

nick is already on twitter

I think it is time he is kicked out of the tour. With all of his talent, he hasn't won a Slam yet, and is making a mockery of the sport.

tbh the bigger issue is that the media continues to hype him, lbr they dont know what to do with themselves once the big 3 go and are trying to find the next star who is not only marketable but also delivers on results. perhaps they shouldn't try so damn hard to find the next star and let it happen organically and fix their current issues.

Between Ruud and Kyrgios I have a rough idea who is the real embarrassment

 

[Otacon]

Glorious list

[existential dread]

ATP should give him an ultimatum: when a major by year's end or gtfo.
Make it public of course.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Djokovic and Pepe get revenge.

Don't mess with Djokovic/Pepe, folks!

 

[Nadalgaenger]

How Ruud

I can't believe I'm the first person to like this comment. Well played!
