Thanasi Kokkinakis on Nick Kyrgios sledge: 'He can't be doing that'

[JRAJ1988]

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...-on-nick-kyrgios-sledge-he-cant-be-doing-that

So we have some closure in this saga?

A friendship in tatters it seems.

• ‘If he’s got a problem, he’s got to say it in private’
• Kokkinakis says he has suffered sleepless nights since incident

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Sleepless nights with who? Tell me more.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Thanasi, Nick, Tomic = The 3 Stooges

Thanansi is the smart one who smacks the other 2 upside the head when they're out of line.

 

[Laver777]

Thanasi seems like a good guy. His dad was also interviewed on the news last night and basically said they werent that close anyway. A friendship of convenience he described it as.

HAHAHA. Thanasi is smart to ditch this loser.

Anyway that's good to hear as I was couldn't see myself liking Kokkinakis if they really were best mates.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I am amused.

But I got a whip for ya, Kokki... Used to be my homie, now you act like you don't know me.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

I just looked up Kokkinakis' family and it's weird how he looks nothing like them. His parents are broad faced and strong looking, as are his sister and brother.

It's funny how tennis rewards being a skinny weaselly looking guy. I guess several non-contact sports do.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Sean Connery is his father and Victor Ortiz is his brother.

 

[Inanimate_object]

How big of you. Judging people on the company they keep. You must be a blast at parties.

 

[Meles]

Kokk looked excellent in his match and very happy afterwards. He has handled this really well, so far. Up next Kyrgios or Gasquet. Kind of hope Kokk gets Nick, so he can tell Nick to shut it!

 

[Big_Dangerous]

He didn't say that it wasn't true though.

 

[Sentinel]

Kokkinakis said he’d been heartened by support in the locker room, where the youngster has quickly earned a reputation as a polite, respectful and good-natured personality on tour.

Good to hear that.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Judges gonna judge.

 

[RalphJ]

Well, when you blab about all your juicy details and stuff to Kyrgios, that's what you get.

 

[SpinToWin]

He didn't say that it wasn't true though.

Should he if it was true? I think they're all grownup enough to admit that a previous relationship also involved sex. I can only see extremely prude people having a problem with that.

 

[La Grande]

I'm sure in private, he is well over it. Doubt their friendship will be harmed over this.

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Did Kokkinakis and Vekic date before Stan and her got together. Because the rumor is that Stan was fooling around with Vekic, which was sort of like the straw that broke the camel's back as far as his marriage to Ilham was concerned. I don't know, maybe I'm way off. But there are some twitter messages from last year that seemed to indicate Stan and Donna were overly fond of each other.

So Kokk (possibly) made a cuckold out of Wawrinka and people are positive about this guy? Weird forum is weird.

You'd find the people defending this clown's actions are mostly likely in their early / mid teens

And you'd find that these "teens" are more mature than both of you, despite their age.

Wait what did Kokk do? He slept with a girl, when they were dating and (maybe) told a friend? What did he do that was wrong?
Kyrgios is the only issue... unless I missed somehing?

 

[Gazelle]

Why do you think he only slept with her when they were dating? If that were the case, there would be no problem, no reason for Kyrgios to mention it, no reason for Wawrinka to get upset about it. What Kyrgios did only makes sense if Kok recently slept with Vekic, when she was already together with Stan. They played mixed doubles together not long ago, possibly had some 'afterparty'.

It needs a certain level of maturity to see things for what they are…

 

[tennis_pro]

Kyrgios: "I'm sorry. I'll never tell Wawrinka that you banged his girlfriend ever again."

Or perhaps Kyrgios has the maturity of a child and that's why he brought it up. And judging the fact that every match he plays is full of drama, i'm going to stick with his immaturity being the reason he brought it up. Vekic and Kokkinakis were mixed partners at the 2014 Aus Open, 1.5 years ago and back when Stan was still married. So again I ask the question, "What did Kokk do"? Don't hate on the kid for Kyrgios's mistake.

Oh well please do tell me then because I can't see the issue with Kokkinakis so I guess I lack this maturity you speak of?

He was being sarcastic, referring to another poster. It was no attack on you .

Geez what is with people and misunderstanding me today?! I meant that you're right and that the others lack the maturity to see that Kokkinakis having sex with Vekic during the short relationship they had is no big deal...

 

[mbm0912]

Social Science Lesson:
Associating with losers makes you a loser. Write that down.

I think spintowin was just agreeing with you

Thanasi is a sweetheart and a kind and hard working young man. He should steer clear of Kygrios.

I can definitely see a resemblance to his sister and brother. I expect he's exercised himself to get into a more athletic shape than any of them.

He isn't just in better shape. Look how narrow he is. His bone structure. His sister looks like she could beat him up.

My shoulders were broader than his as an infant.

The truth is... you have no idea what I look like. Your imagination just prefers to pretend I resemble that guy.

Yes, that's the point, we have no idea what you look like; the point is that (1) it's easy to sound tough on the interwebz, and (2) that it sounds incredibly cheesy to do the whole "his sister could beat him up, my pinky is broader than him" routine about a pro tennis player just because he is somewhat slender.

Kokkinakis doesn't look somewhat slender. It looks like something went wrong with his development. IMO, he's very peculiar looking for an athlete. But then I remember that tennis is a sport with guys like Kevin Anderson at the top. They should change the sport to reward height and length less and actual athletic attributes more.

These skinny weak unathletic twigs only do well in non-contact sports that reward height. Basketball, volleyball, tennis.

Do you lift, Bro?

 

[WhiskeyEE]

What does weightlifting have to do with bone structure, "bro"?

 

[Inanimate_object]

Love people acting tough on the internet

Discussing someone's appearance isn't acting tough.

I was just asking a question, darling. So defensive.

Asking whether I prefer orange juice or apple juice would've been about as relevant.

To answer your question, I used to, but haven't the past few years.

I can barely lift 1Kg of Sugar yet on the "mean streets" I can give a dangerous back message.

Basketball is a contact sport. You come off as very ignorant, bitter and fat/weak.

You come across as gotten to.

And no it isn't.

Contact sports = MMA, boxing, football, rugby, wrestling, etc.

Didn't you hear? His baby shoulders were broader than Kokkis. Show some respect for this strong strong man.
