More like an indictment on the lack of testing for PEDs in tennis.

Oh yeah, his marketing team are insane. I've heard many stories from those who've worked the Aus Open that he isn't welcoming when a camera isn't around.

Receipt of many texts from english friends about the cricket. Same ones who said no one cares about cricket in england when we belted them in many an ashes series.

his PR team is better at censoring negative info than world governments are at censoring terrorist videos
Lol cricket "world" cup -- a dozen countries is hardly representative of the world.

Obviously 1200% more world included than the baseball World Series
Tennis crowds. Does any sport have a more annoying and entitled bunch of fans than tennis does?
The most vocal are either the 50-year-old boomers who squeal like little girls whenever there's a rally that goes longer than 10 shots and boo any player that shows any hint of emotion, or 20-year-old fools who want to be the last one to yell before the player serves.
They pick their favourites and hate anyone who doesn't fall in line. Novak talks to the umpires to clarify a decision in one of the most important games of his life: boooo. Naomi Osaka wins her first grand slam, spoiled crowd booo during the ceremony because Serena didn't get her way for once.
I don't know. Tennis crowds have always felt so weird to me.

Do they need to cut to one of the players' wives after every single ******* point? Goddamn does my head in. I don't care about their reaction.

Just you wait until September. Then you have a World Cup comprising the private school elite of roughly the same dozen countries.
Cricket is massively two-tiered in England now. Toffs watch it and their Asian (sic) (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan) community watch it. It passes most other people by. Here you either like it or you don't. Don't need to be Lord Ponsomely III or Ranjeet the Uber driver to play a bit of second XI on the weekend.
Yeah, that's another thing... WHO CARES. Why do people honestly care about Nick half-assing it as if he's their own son?Nick Kygrios doesn't try hard enough
He's made it pretty clear that he hates tennis and only plays it because he's good at it. It's nothing more than a job to him. If he wants to screw around while getting paid I don't see why it's anyone else's business. He might look back on his life in 20 years and regret it, but that's his decision to make. If you don't like it then don't go and support him. He doesn't owe anyone anything.
At least he's entertaining unlike a lot of the other uptight dweebs on tour.

HUmans are passionate beings. Tennis seems to be a sport that attracts certain persons. Or maybe the same persons attend other sports but are absorbed into the crowd.
You are very passionate
im the same, if someone who plays an individual sport doesnt want to try, that's on them.
That's a curious one. The slow clap that hastens and reaches a crescendo culminating in a "wooooahhhhh AHHHHHH" as the ball lands.

**** m**nl*nd*rs
To be fair, any competition that includes India is well on the way to being a world cup (15-18% of world population)

The fact he's still matching it with Nadal and Djokovic means it's a credit to him imo.
It's not like he's fallen off their pace but still miles ahead of the rest of the pack.
Do tennis crowds still laugh when ball gets stuck in the net?
