Nick Kyrgios turns down $1m challenge from Bernard Tomic "I’ve got bigger fish to fry”

“At the end of the day, talk is cheap,” Tomic told the Sydney Morning Herald. “I’m ready to make it 2-0 whenever you want. Put your money where your mouth is.
“Let the public decide who is better. I’ll beat you anywhere, any place. If not, shut your mouth and go back to playing doubles.
“I’ll dominate you one-on-one,” Tomic added. “To not make excuses, I’ll even play you on grass, whenever you want.
“You know what? Let’s sort this out in the boxing ring. Put your gloves on, I’ll dominate you there also. Let’s see who’s better once and for all.”


Kyrgios did not rule out a boxing bout one day but said the world number 418 would have to work his way back up the rankings to get on court with him.
“I’m still playing on the tour, my brother. I’ve got bigger fish to fry,” the world number 76 said in an Instagram video.
“If you want to play me and you want to set this straight, just get back to the top of the sport. I’m right here, I’m not going anywhere.”

I don't think this match would be good for tennis. Glad that Kyrgios declined. What has Bernie been smoking?

I have money on Tomic to win Wimbledon
He said he was going to and seemed pretty certain so what was there to lose?

Just checked the odds and it was 200/1

I am going to be in the money
 
"Put your money where your mouth is." So Kyrgios started something?

Obviously both are clowns, but Tomic seems like he has a trauma from bad parenting so I feel for him. Kyrgios is known to provoke people.

Top of the sport? My brother in Christ, you haven't reached a slam QF in 7 years.

Bad parenting or just a matter of inheriting similar DNA?

Probably both.
