Kyrgios the master troll. Amazing how triggered opponents are getting, it is a legit tactic for him now.

8 set points gone.......
9th time lucky.
9th time lucky.
I don't think Nick would have the same success with the crowd around the world, they'll just feel sorry for his ADHD and autism tendencies
That would appear to be the case, but I suspect Keys won't give up 40-0 leads during her service games as easily as Pegula did...?
It's also interesting, as of yesterday, Barty was the only women left in the draw who's unforced error count was not higher than her winners.
Accordingly, while Barty is obviously playing outstanding tennis, she doesn't really need to, given her opponents are regularly hitting the ball into the net or out...
beez
A*mazing
Pretty spot on with his comments.Kiwi Michael Venus unloads on Kyrgios after doubles loss

Five years ago I thought Kokk would be really good for Nick. I believed given Kokk's potential, his attitude, maturity and professionalism would drag Nick along with him. Obviously injuries didn't really allow that to eventuate. So given Kokk is now relatively healthy and after his performance in Adelaide, I thought that his overall demeanor and mindset would help Nick flourish. While Nick is slow maturing, Kokk's attitude with respect to the crowd has really surprised me this fortnight. Rather than respecting the opponents, he has just inflamed the situation as much as Nick.
But hey, that's what a certain subset of "tennis" fans want now.

The Yanks love him and he doesn't really bother playing anywhere outside of Aus and North America anyway.

Very honest lolKiwi Michael Venus unloads on Kyrgios after doubles loss
Venus said he had never faced an environment like the one which greeted him and his partner during his Australian Open men’s double defeat.
But he is right, his fans are over the top and don't respect the opposition.
Interesting to see how the fans react to Nick in Europe and USA

There are a number of champions of the women's game who had great success just getting the ball back in play. You need some weapons of course, but consistency, fitness, and accuracy can go a long way.

Don't hold back mate, tell us how you really feel.
Haha yea talk about a hypocrite. You can't get on your high horse and carry on about respect and how the crowds behave and then talk about an opponent like that. What a sore loser.Kiwi Michael Venus unloads on Kyrgios after doubles loss

I'm actually more surprised that a fellow professional tennis player has only just discovered that Curious Nick is a knob..?
Of course he's a knob, he has a PHD in knobbery, he is the king knob, his feats of knobbery will never be surpassed, he is so far ahead of the next knob it's not funny and you don't even have to be a tennis fan to know this..!
Anyway Mr. Venus, you got your 5 minutes of fame, sooking about the obvious, back to obscurity for you mate...

Venus unhappy that spectators in the crowd were insulting his family as he went back to serve. **** me, you're a nobody mate. Be thankful they cared enough to say anything.
Nothing hypocritical about what Venus said. Kyrgios carries on like an absolute tool on court towards his opponents. Consequently Venus doesn’t respect him as a person, and was fully justified in saying what he did. Kokkinakis is heading the same way. If the same thing happened to Kyrgios, playing o/s against a local player, and a lot of unruly, partisan fans who cheer service faults, he would go absolutely berserk. Now that would be hypocritical.
I normally support Aussies unreservedly in any match against the opposition. However in this case I hope the 2 K’s get flogged in their semi.

Kyrgios acts like a complete clown on the court. Unsurprisingly really because he’s such a massive fan of American sport.
Venus has a point about the crowd being disrespectful, especially when he and Puetz were serving.
As for the rest, he and his partner got done by two singles players.
Pump the brakes and work on your game mate.

Swiatek would want to play a lot better to beat Barty or even Keys.

So in essence Venus is saying they lost to a bloke that has the mental fortitude of a 10 year old. Best head home and work on their game
Did Kyrgios get a code violation for hitting the kid in the crowd with the ball yesterday? Was that a possible default?
