Love how his supporters compare his behavior to McEnroe...except, McEnroe was a winner. Doesn't excuse his outbursts, but at least he could back it up on the court. NK is too scared to even get a coach.

That he is. The ITF could suspend him of course or hand out a truly punitive penalty but are too busy counting the cash. The question begs how far will they let him go before they take meaningful action. And it may not come to head at Wimbledon but as night follows day, it’s coming.

It will be interesting to see how the officials react, if Nick causes drama on centre court in front of VIP guests and prime spot.

Probably playing up for the cameras
Is he any chance against Rafa?
I know he beat him him years ago but not sure about now

Of course he's a chance but has to get through Garin first (and Nadal over Fritz). It's a pretty common theme that whenever he gets to the 2nd week of slams the lack of conditioning gets to him, so wouldn't be all that surprised if he was bundled out by Garin. I'd give him a chance against anyone though as his best is clearly pretty good.
And apparently he is a woman basher as well.....who would of thought

Not a fan of the bloke, but it's important to uphold the presumption of innocence.
The fact he is all over the news is interesting timing.
Nick is very similar to Jarryd Hayne, has a few life long dreams of living in the gutter in a few years.

settle. Innocent until guilty. let the court system do its work.
he is not the first tennis player in trouble with domestic violence. the ATP has taken no action against Zverev.

I enjoyed the throw away 4 words like you haven't already made up your mind as evidenced by the previous sentence.

Given Wimbledon removed Russian and Belorussian players for nothing more than their nationality I can’t see how they can allow Kyrgios to remain.
Likely he gets through to the semi, then 40%? chance perhaps he gets over Rafa to the final. Then Wimbledon bosses face the prospect of having Kate Middleton and maybe William on the presentation stage handed a trophy, either first or second place, to someone charged with assaulting a female partner. I think that’s why they got rid of the Russians in case they had Medvedev on stage in that instance, but Kyrgios would be worse.
I think people mistake what innocent until proven guilty is. It doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want until a guilty verdict is handed down. Sometimes it’s best to remove people from public view until a case is settled.
Given the miniscule amounts of DV acts that actually get reported let alone get to court, due to police believing they have sufficient evidence to get a conviction and not waste police legal funds..
Theres reason to believe them over Nick, yes.
They let someone as repugnant as Zverev play through DV allegations so there's no chance they'll remove Kyrgios

Ike Turner was also a women basher.

Zverev never had any charges pressed against him relating to that incident, Kyrgios just has.

Nick hasn't even responded when you rushed to pour cold water over his "potential innocence."
If he's found guilty I hope they put him away. If he's found innocent I hope he's not judged forever on it.
Pommy journalists will be beside themselves and will give him both barrels, I guess he really is a bully, on and off the court mind you he has a heart the size of a pea couldn't imagine him roughing up a male
Wimbledon is too busy pandering to a

UK press are brutal.
Though if Nick controlled his on court behaviour then perhaps the press wouldn't be so hard on him.
