From what I hear she already helped Troicki, Coric, Kokkinaikis and Wawrinka.

Whoa, a young woman slept with fellow young men? (or not that young in case of Wawrinka). Alert the authorities!

After saying that, why would you have such a problem with what Kyrgios said to Wawrinka? I really don't think it was that bad and it ensured that Wawrinka will never run his mouth at Kyrgios again.

In isolation, I don't have an issue with what Kyrgios said to Wawrinka. Didn't Wawrinka dump his family to focus on his game? Allegedly... or some other chick.

I think with Nick, it's the sum of a number of things. At the end of the day, the guy needs to walk the walk before he talks the talk... and that means winning

I won't get into why Wawrinka's marriage fell apart, because frankly we really don't know. I doubt that he will abandon his daughter, being married to her mom or not. Stan hasn't said anything bad about her, even though maybe he would have something to say, but these matters are not for public knowledge. If he is keeping quiet, it doesn't mean that he is the only one at fault, does it?

If there is one thing I really dislike is putting out dirty laundry in the open. I am sure that tennis players know about most of romantic involvements in their circles, and Stan would be aware of the affair in question, but you have to be really sleazy to air that out in the open in such manner.

With all that said, I think Nick can learn from such mistakes, he will eventually mature and calm down, it is a normal process of growing up.

Overall, Nick has a problem with his head. He is one of those players who loses focus easily and will get a while until he gets it back. That will be a big hurdle in his career. Aside that, he has some technical things he needs to work on: BH, movement, volleys. At this stage, I am not seeing him yet of capable of breaking through into the top 10 yet. In a few years yes, but he needs work on those things, and especially to improve mentally.  As far as potential slam winner, it will depend who will develop better in the current 17-23 bracket, because at the moment nobody has a sniff.

Because it's irrelevant and it's nobody's business.

Looks like Bernard Tomic is even getting on Nick's last nerve.
