Then Kyrgios answered him....


Nick is a "fun guy" who is clearly not mature enough to understand the fuzzy boundary between joke and offense. And likely never will because he's already too old to learn such basic social norms. Even as a fellow OZ, he does not impress me and I even dislike him. I understand that he's a very likable personality in the locker room (as all players have said) but he will never achieve the "classiness" of top players like Fedal, both on and off court, no matter how hard he works to curb his behaviour. That's why I think he does not deserve to achieve #1 (or even top 10) status, irrespective of his tennis talent.

Kyrgios twitted

He said " I hope TK wins the match, Verdasco is the salient dude, must be frustrated at his past success against aussies" but he deleted right after
Then Verdaso twitted Kyrgios......

Hi Carol! I am unclear about what the kerfuffle was between Verdasco and Kokkinakis. Can you illuminate?

Welcome back Carol. You do certainly bring something to the table in this forum and post several interesting stories. We certainly missed you (and some of your irrational posts :D).
Irrational? hmmmm I would tell you something else about who make irrational posts but......it’s ok:)

Aparentely Verdasco complained about someone from Kokkinakis box was bother him when he was serving. Verdasco said it was someone next to his father and then Kokkinakis said: “that one is my fo””” father” and Verdasco said then: ”oh sorry I didn’t know who was”
I can’t imagine if Verdasco and Kyrgios were to play against , it’s going to be very interesting B-)

Kokkis and Verdasco arguing with the Chair Umpire because Kokkis's father.....

Well spotted gem about Kokk family. Note that at the end of that clip (following "That's my f... dad" admission), Kokk is about to spit to the side. But I'm not sure about his disgust as the author wisely (and mysteriously) cut it as it became really nasty.
Oh boy!, compare e.x. Fed senior to Kokk senior behaviours in the stands... Like heaven & hell. I don't need to recall Tomic senior who was convicted for his physical violence. One more evidence that the morale of all those ATP guys starts shaping up not just from their beginnings but from the previous generation!

I don't know but these young aussies seem to be a little bit annoying including their fathers

I know he is practicing and scheduled to play in MC but I don’t know too much more
Oh I forgot to say that he is practicing for the next Olimpics but as a swimmer :yes:

Ferrer the journeyman double faults and is broken by Zverev.
