Governor Tarkin Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Talent aside, Kyrgios is a loathesome prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortyJambo Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) 9 hours ago, Harko said: I think Kyrgios did nothing wrong today - simply underlined the point that Rafa is always pushing the boundaries of sporting play, and nobody calls him out for it. But Kyrgios can’t make that point cause he is the bad guy ??♂️ I agree. And the big deal that's been made about him hitting the ball at Nadal is in the same boat, hitting the ball at your opponent is a valid shot, you even hear the commentators saying a player should have hit it at their opposition rather than attempt a difficult pass. But because it's Nadal, and because he looked daggers at Kyrgios afterwards, suddenly it's not the kind of thing to be done. Nadal's nonsense statement that it was a dangerous shot for the crowd and officials, as it could have gone anywhere, is ridiculous. I do think he did it to try and wind Nadal up though, but all's fair in love and war. Edited July 5, 2019 by PortyJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookie Bear Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 At the end of the day, Nadal strolls through on his way to another shot at a Grand Slam and Kyrgios will be forgotten about until the next tournament, until he finally retires into obscurity. Such a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulleted_jambo Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I don't care if you like him or hate him, I'm sure that'll be the most entertaining game you'll watch all tournament. For that reason I think he's class. He's like the Happy gilmore of tennis.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/48877052 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope my lack of tennis knowledge makes me wrong though. Hurkacz has a game Djokovic always struggles against (goes for his shots, and he'll keep going for them. Ye Djokovic defends very well but keep going for them even he can't do anything) and he's hitting some worldies too. That was a fantastic shot in that game But he needs to keep it up because Djokovic isn't missing much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last few years, I've gone for seats on that side (behind the players' chairs) at the O2 for the tour finals. You feel more involved and I tend to get seats between the service and base line. Maybe about 10 rows back. Not 100% visibility of the far end but I've become accustomed to it and enjoy it. Was on the other side for a Nadal match two years ago and felt more of a spectator.
