The whole Nick saga stirs up people’s emotions, especially hate. I had a look on FB just now and looked at the comments below each article and it’s pretty aggressive mainly against him, but there is some support as well. Social media can be highly toxic. If you were McEnroe, Connors or Nastase you would have probably been happy that the internet wasn’t around then .
If you are a public figure you probably want to stay away from these platforms and I bet that Nick and his brother spend too much time on Insta.

The way you phrase it it's as if he wasn't at least partly responsible for the toxicity directed at him - I agree, social media can be toxic, but it doesn't mean some of the scrutiny isn't justified and isn't self-inflicted.
Sorry if I misinterpreted you.

My sentiments are sort of based on surprise. I didn’t think that Nick would get so much attention or focus, I don’t think it’ deserves it, I’m sure his behaviour on tour does get people going and I assume it’s the young crowd because I don’t think the older generation are interested in all his shenanigans. Yes he is a very talented player, and Wimbledon finalist but he has been around long enough now and I think, well we have seen what he is about and therefore it’s time to move on now and get on with it, not into the circus and soap opera, too much clutter and fuss when lite and easy is so much better. I find someone like Medvedev more interesting with his intellect and humour.
There are so many other very good players around. I think the young kids who are fans need to look further afield, young Sinner is very talented player that seems to have his stuff together.

Poor guy. Don’t care actually. Won’t root for injury on anyone. But honestly it’ll be nice not to have a narcissistic a-hole who won’t shut up on court with his outbursts at a grandslam for once

Kyrgios proclaimed himself the star. Sometimes ppl just like watching him melt down. I don’t. I turned it off after the first hour was about him.

I also love it when people who have anger problems describe it as “passion”. I had an ex boss once who when he got suspended for reaming out and getting into a verbal confrontation with another manager with multiple outbursts - came back and said “it’s that I’m too passionate”. Please. The love for this guy is stupid. He’s a complete joke. I hope he gets help but honestly he thinks he’s not a bag of feces.

I don't like Nick's antics on the court but being happy that someone has to withdraw due to an injury is low.

Nick is verbally abusive on court. I guess it’s low that I don’t have to see that?

Injury is injury, feel sorry for how this went for him. It's basically the same injury Roger had but at a younger age. Especially unfortunate, you'd feel, given that now seemed to be the time Kyrgios was more determined and dedicated to getting good results.

You never have to see Nick. Just turn off your tv.

I do. But if he gets deep into tourneys unfortunately I have to watch his disruptive and abusive behavior.

Are aliens inside your head forcing you to watch? Turn the TV off. Show some initiative and some self-control.
Kyrgios's cache is his divisiveness. It certainly doesn't stem from his results. Many people who watch him want to see bad things happen to him because he treats other people very badly. That shouldn't bother Kyrgios. He's a millionaire many times over and still in his 20's. If it does bother him he should change his behaviour.

You had hopes that Kyrgios will stop Novak at AO!? LOL

Get well soon Nick. More sad news for the tournament.

According to many Djokovic-bots, Nadal was "afraid" of facing him in the Wimbledon semifinals and that's why he withdrew from the tournament.

If what is in the lawsuit is true, we should be smacking him hard.

Yes, that is a very good point. I don’t want to gloat over an injury, but there is off court aspects that I didn’t address.

The yes men (ppl) he surrounds himself with ain't gonna say no.
His whippy stand-up style from the backcourt, almost like he pogoes when making contact, gonna mean pain.
He does a lot of sliding and chipping and taking the ball early, draws up from low into pin-point serve, gonna mean pain.
Stick a fork in it... reckon this bung knee means... his career goes bung.
