I was complaining about the same thing...that the thread had lost its point. Some people agree with you that he's on the verge of being banned. I'm still on the fence, but it is beyond me how some people are still justifying his behavior.
throwing a tantrum cant be proven with anything solid, a 7 year old player might do the same and probably doesn't think that way at all. Either way, there is nothing you can prove about a particular players' motive for throwing a tantrum thus making conclusion as if you somehow are certain of makes you nothing, nothing but an idiot trying to looking intelligent. btw pussy, stick to what you know and don't tell us what players actually think.
now you know he couldn't justify what he claimed...…. that Becker said every player does that, not true. Again it's not in the link he showed, so I am asking for some evidence.
wow you set the bar high, compared to the big 3 nobody else is nothing much anyway. In case you don't know, Nick actually has a good sized fan base. For you to be talking like you are someone, sorry to tell you but you are a wheelchair potato with no fan. He gets millions to do whatever he wants, and you pay for internet so you can trash talk someone untouchable to you......see the difference?
now you are talking the high road, conveniently forgetting that Novak had the oxygen egg (which is now banned), smuggling his brother into a tournament he didn't qualify for, on court coaching (banned), bouncing the ball a mil times (time violation), selective standard much?
"Temper tantrum?" That usually implies short duration. This was two sets of Nick hectoring the umpire and worse. I don't really see how you justify playing that down. Whether or not he should be banned is a separate question.

But this is where I don't see the point Front is making, and you are concurring with, unless it is to blame the umpire, which is where Front started. If so, then, in what sense? Nick has been fined for his misbehavior towards an umpire before, so I'm not sure on what grounds either of you base the notion that he has more respect for some than others, when he hasn't demonstrated especial respect for any. Actually, Lahyani got in trouble for counseling Nick who was verging on tanking or putting out too little effort, so you can strike Lahyani from that list...he was in the chair, and Kyrgios was misbehaving. I don't get blaming the chair umpire, to be honest.
Which I still say is blaming a bit of it on the umpire. How could it not be? You're saying either that one is a pushover, or another is stricter, or I'm not clear.... To me, the common denominator in these many incidents is Nick Kyrgios. But to be accurate, what Front said and you agreed with was that Nick wouldn't have behaved that way with Bernardes, and Front mentioned a few others. That's not quite the same as saying "the outcome would be different would a different umpire," which is a milder, more philosophical version. Front's approach was that Murphy deserved what he got from Nick. What's yours?
