The ATP are to blame for Nick Krygios' behavior

[ChaelAZ]

Nick Kyrgios needs to be responsible as a tennis player. But the governing body also must be responsible in getting on top of things if behavior gets out of hand. In Krygios’ case, it has time and time again. And The ATP have done very little to stop it.

They also must take responsibility.

As an instructor, I am all too familiar with this mentality. Soooooo very wrong. The two are exclusive.



Nick is responsible for Nick's actions, plain and simple. He is to blame for the anger issues and kid tantrum. He does not handle pressure well. does not like to push himself, folds instead of stepping up to challenges, and lashes out as a result.

That said, the ATP has it's own issues in this, in that is should not allow this kind of player on tour. It is not their job to babysit immature players throwing tantrum. They should be enforcing their rules, period. Have a set guideline for offenses and follow them, up to suspending him, then removing him from ATP play. After a short period of a few fans getting bent out of shape he will be a footnote in tennis history, rarely visited.

The ATP is not enabling Nick. Nick is responsible for his actions.

Young? I am old enough to be your older brother.
Next time you are talking or listening to somebody, avoid eye contact and you will understand the actual message much better, devoid of all of the facial contortions, and distractions that the other has. There is a reason why the justice system takes the emotions out of the picture when determining the legal cases.

You aren't that old. I can tell because you hoist up some google picture and skew the meaning in it. It's lazy and it doesn't work. At best you are old enough to have played missile command on a C64 and thats about it.

She wears a blindfold to be objective you ninny. Regardless of power, fame, money, stature etc she's meant to be objective. Can you hear these things in the person's voice as they're drowning in your word salad? Maybe. Who knows what special powers you think you have from afternoons with the Nintendo console.

Not emotion, objectivity.

I do allow for your point that listening is a good trait. When people say that they usually mean "pay attention". The more senses you use, the more attention you can pay. And you had best paid every ounce of attention in math class with Mrs Latcham - if you weren't directly looking into her cold, steely, grey eyes a chalk duster would fly your way before you can say "quadric equation." Try avoiding that with closed eyes.

Thanks. My wife will love you for certifying that I am young. your profile says that you are 41. If that is true, then I am definitely old enough to be your older brother.

and yes, blindfold leads to objectivity. Hearing the actual meaning of the words, the pain in the tone of the voice. The eye contact is great for sales... if you are selling your story, make eye contact.

41 is a number the computer spits out, in experience years I'm closing in on 100.

What in Hell is a "chickoo" anyway? A bird? Flower? Farming equipment? I can't understand the names you young people give yourselves, let alone the things you go on about. Back in the day young people had sensible nicknames like “Shorty” or “Red” or “Spanky” and “Buckwheat.” Solid, dependable nicknames that you could count on to see you through the good times and the bad. Nicknames that would last you a lifetime.

But nowadays young people like you have nicknames like “DXMST,” “DJ Ice Dam” and “Pee Diddly.” God damned ridiculous names that sound like acronyms for the space program or chemical compounds in a Pyongyang laboratory. Really, if I had ever asked my old dad to call me “Phat A” he would have brained me with a pair of ice tongs and changed my nickname to “that idiot boy.” And he’d have been right to do it.

Just what the Hell are all you accomplishing with these handles? How idiotic must you be to think that calling yourself Fed X is going to give you more credibility and get you more respect. Changing your name from Greg to “Tre Fierce” won't make you a gangster when you’re a 110 pound lactose intolerant sophomore with acne and a lateral lisp.

Go on then. I've got my bottle of Glen, tell me what a Chickoo is.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say...or why you're saying it.

And clearly you missed something in your "100 years of experience" if you haven't realized that in most cases arguing with people on the internet is pointless and stupid. Although it can be quite fun.

Even in years of experience, I am your elder brother. Relax.

My nickname is at least a few thousand years old. So take that for new names.

I am paying homage to ancient words with my handle. Let me hear about your handle while I sip my favorite Port
