Anyone watching Kyrgios v Djokovic?

It's annoying me how Kyrgios is having ongoing conversations with his coach etc in the players' box.

And his backwards baseball cap!

Where is gentleman Federererererer when you need him?!

This is a match where for different reasons, I'd like both players to lose.

Sapphirejane · 10/07/2022 15:42

I am and I’m wondering why as I don’t like either of them.

Djokovic the lying anti-vaxxer and Kyrgios who has nasty angry violent outbursts and somehow thinks that is an acceptable personality trait…

BIWI · 10/07/2022 15:43

Why on earth do we need 'gentlemen' to be playing?!

Nothing wrong with the backward cap. Many do that.

It's amazing game, with a lot riding on it - which is perhaps why Kyrgios is so passionate?

Interested in this thread?

Yes and I don't know why either, don't want either to win.

Agree.
I want Djokovic to win this, purely because I want Kyrgios less so. He’s an absolute fuckwit.

Purplecatshopaholic · 10/07/2022 15:46

Im not a fan of either of them either. First time ever I think, that I have no one to cheer for!

ChinBristles · 10/07/2022 15:47

@BIWI it's tradition, innit, for the players to be gentlemanly. What with the conduct rules and dress code. Makes a difference from hooligan football players!

@BIWI - he is always “passionate”, he is currently being investigated for assaulting his ex girlfriend. Other players manage to play at the top level without shouting at the crowd/umpires, smashing up rackets etc.

And me

PresidentByeThen · 10/07/2022 15:48

They're both such whingy tossers

SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 10/07/2022 15:48

I'm marginally on side of Djokovic, but only because Kyrgios is so bloody annoying.

Ilikewinter · 10/07/2022 15:49

I dont like Kyrgios, hasnt his ex filed some charges against him?

Wish Nadal had made it through, or even better Norris ..... and im not even a tennis fan

Perfectlystill · 10/07/2022 15:49

Kyrgios is a rude brat. I feel sorry for him having bad mental health issues - Andrew Castle was talking about self-harm - but that doesn't give you licence to be rude to people.

Ilikewinter · 10/07/2022 15:49

Oh now hes trying to kick out a fan, someone who looks like shes had 700 drinks apparantly!!!

IGoWalkingAfterMidnight · 10/07/2022 15:50

My son said they should fight to the death and then we should shoot the winner...not watching as I dislike both players. I believe on and off court behaviour matters.

PresidentByeThen · 10/07/2022 15:50

I promise I'm not the woman in the dress who's had 700 drinks Grin

LadyJGrey · 10/07/2022 15:51

Here we go again. He’s such a stroppy arse. And I can’t abide the way all the commentators / press blow smoke up his arse by ‘excusing’ his appalling behaviour.

Clymene · 10/07/2022 15:51

Both revolting human beings. Not watching out if principal

Beefilm · 10/07/2022 15:51

The commentary towards his box is really annoying but nothing else about Kyrgios is bothering me. Mind you, I was a Nastasie, Connors and McEnroe fan backnin the day. They sure weren't gents either!

ChessieFL · 10/07/2022 15:51

I feel sorry for the Duchess of Cambridge having to present the trophy to either of them.

Me too.
And I don't use that phrase lightly.

Clymene · 10/07/2022 15:52

Of principle even!

Agreed. You can be a brilliant sports person and not a total arse.

ChinBristles · 10/07/2022 15:53

The Duchess of Cambridge is the only good thing about this match! Well, and William & George.
