Shame on ATP for not banning Kyrgios

[Aussie Darcy]

Kevin Garnett of the NBA once said, "Happy mother's day, m*****f******" to all-star champ Tim Duncan, knowing his mother died of breast cancer.

Lets put this Kyrgios nonsense in perspective.

Tennis has class and respect

I was just showing OP things like this have happened in other sports, and players do not get banned.

But lets be real, mcenroe has said worst things. Even to ballkids.

zagor. The suspension is probably what's needed for him to clean up his act. I also don't buy the idea that he's needed for the sport to do well. Plenty of other young guys are playing well and have actually won tournaments like Thiem or Goffin. Not to mention guys like Coric or Zverev. And honestly...If Kyrgios was banned for the US Open, would anyone have even noticed?

Well as things stands now he'll get suspended if he starts trash talking/tanking/doing anything warranting a fine again, right? Good enough for me.

I'm not talking about winning mickey mouse tourneys here, this is a kid that already reached two slam QF and beat Nadal and Fed (and not on small stages either). Of course he's still largely undeveloped like other up and comers but he already has a big game and showed he doesn't fear the top guys.

Also, Goffin's 24 and just another member of the 90s mental midget generation (seriously, him and Dimitrov were embarrassing at this year's Cincy), hardly a young up and comer with a big upside.

Well Dimitrov and Goffin just had a test of confidence and pressure against the #1 and #2. They will get there. Murray and Djokovic did. Kyrgios too if his attitude doesn't get bitter.

There's nothing worse than talking about your girl friend/wife and telling him she was banged by someone else, that too in public.
Mcenroe and Connors are nothing before kyrgios in bad mouthing.

How dare you!

Here's my take:

Poobs has illustrated to to the unwashed masses how the game of tennis really should be played. There's the old tennis quote: "if it looks like you're trying hard, you're not doing it right." Well that's the case here: what we incorrectly interpret as sloth-like movement is actually the master exhibiting a silky smoothness which is the hallmark of any fully-rounded, perfectly developed game.

In short, the uber-Poober (like all true greats of the game) make it "look easy."

Notice his out-classed opponent flailing away like a man in total darknes, spraying shots all over the place.....while Poobs is a picture of composure.....total serenity in a robust, athletic package.

i hope suresh has that video monetized

lol really? Did you go to college? Do you have any idea how... "liberated" most young women are these days?

And it's up to a man to uphold a woman's virtue, is that right? please. This is pre 1960s feminist movement stuff.

but something that is timeless:

There's nothing like dropping the C-word on an umpire and a ball girl on 2 separate occasions a la McEnroe

ahhh... Sanctimonious comments and Self-Righteous retribution will never cease to validate the need for borders and religion.

 

[newpball]

...sexist remarks made by Kyrgios on Donna vekic.

Wait, saying that someone had sex is a sexist remark?

But yeah, how dare he attack such an Eminent Victorian!
