Kyrgios is the polarizing figure tennis needs

[Tennis Fan]

Nick goes ballistic in the match v Coric in Cinci.

I think we can expect similar incidents in the majority of Nick's matches. Insanely childish.

Did anyone else notice the sweet picture that the USOpen site is using of Nick? http://www.usopen.org/en_US/players/overview/atpke17.html

I've had my fill of Kyrgios moaning to be honest.

Now saying he'd quit tennis if he won the US Open.

The New York Times featured Kyrgios on the front page of the magazine this Sunday: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/m...n-electric-infuriating-nick-kyrgios.html?_r=0

Me too. I finally had enough of him. He's just way too "interesting" for my taste. I can barely understand any of that.

Take it with a grain of salt. Could be partially a way of deflecting pressure. Or that he's just lippy.

Kyrgios is a very funny guy as well as an extraordinary player - I saw his practice with Sock last week and he kept praising Sock's awesome forehand - Then vs Tomic the next day he was playing badly and said he'd need a wildcard next year if he keeps playing this badly - Talked with his agent last week and he said Nick was training very hard in Boca Raton and doing sprints on the beach in the extreme heat - So Nick is working very hard - He's been flawless so far in the first two round and he has a very animated box and band of supporters which really get into the match which no doubt pumps up Nick and also irritates the opponent - Nick is just what tennis needs right now - he's the young rebel who doesn't mind to stir up controversy - the kids love the guy too and they gravitate to him - after the Tomic practice (which Nick quit early claiming some kind of injury) he stopped and signed for the kids and he even joked "Next person to say my name wrong gets a signed ball" - What a character - Kyrgios definitely lights up the sport with his charisma and super talent -

I dunno Scoop, sometimes I think Kyrgios has asked a starfish for directions when it comes to career advice.

Nick is a natural born rebel - he likes to do things his way and be his own person - this is what makes him great - I think he will eventually figure out how to win majors - and when he does WATCH out -But then again he could be one of those guys who wins one and loses that fire -

 

[BillayRambo]

I just hope that Kyrgios does something totally stupid and gets a lengthy ban. He is disrespectful to the game and everyone involved. He's an arrogant imbecile who thinks the world should bow down to him. He's not good for the game and my gut feeling is he won't be around for too long.

Kids absolutely love Nick and he's great with kids- Kids gravitate to Nick all over the world - he's great for tennis - His controversial episodes are nothing compared to what mcenroe connors and even young Agassi did. But the modern media blows what Nick did way out of proportion. Watch Nick sign for kids after a practice and how he jokes and talks with them - just fantastic.

 

[HellsBells]

Is he a children's entertainer or a tennis player? McEnroe and Connors would never tank matches like Kyrgios.

 

[BillayRambo]

Yes he responds well to kids because they are mentally similar.

Nick is very young. I think people mature later in this time and age.

I'm sorry but there have been younger players than him that have won Grand Slams and have shown no signs
of his immaturity and arrogance. He comes across as a spoilt kid who expects everything to fall at his feet.

Agassi did

Cant expect all young stars to behave perfectly like Raonic Nadal Edberg Sampras etc - it's nice to have a young rebel like Rios Hewitt Agassi on the scene --

Nick is boring, always moaning and griping about nothing.

Nick is anything but boring, IMO. His tennis is thrilling. I hope someone can take him in hand and wrangle that talent into something that lasts.
