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?!

I don't understand what his latest gripe is?

LadyJGrey · 10/07/2022 16:05

God, he’s awful

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?

Agree .

I dont condone the swearing either but I don't get why it's frowned upon so much more for tennis than other sports.

However he's losing it now. He needs much better sports psychology!

Interested in this thread?

I can imagine that the centre court heat + no lunch + 1 hospitality Pimms too many (easy to do) could make for an absolute shocker of an 'uncharacteristic' day out...

Ginajo · 10/07/2022 16:05

He's a disgrace. His behaviour now because he is losing is appalling.

MrsGamgee · 10/07/2022 16:06

This bloke is worse than my toddler when I tell her she can't have chocolate for breakfast. Pack it in man.

Who on earth does Kyrios keep ranting to??!

I have no idea.

Perfectlystill · 10/07/2022 16:06

Whoever he's shouting at (umpire?) I feel very sorry for them

Ilikewinter · 10/07/2022 15:49

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

That actually made me laugh

He called the umpire "bro"

TheMess · 10/07/2022 16:07

Woooooah! This is the earliest I've ever heard swearing on BBC1.

millytint44 · 10/07/2022 16:07

It's gripping viewing, like car crash TV!!!

Sunbird24 · 10/07/2022 16:07

I’m supporting Djokovic reluctantly because Kyrgios is being such a colossal twat.

Byronalso · 10/07/2022 16:07

Jesus

what a child

Fritilleries · 10/07/2022 16:08

Why aren't the commentators actually calling him out for swearing. It's not "apologies" it should be "This player is not demonstrating the standards expected of a player at his level."

carefullycourageous · 10/07/2022 16:08

I do find him almost to embarrassing to watch. Why do his entourage put up with it? I guess he pays them well. He has no official coach apparently.

I'm not fussed by the swearing, and his clothes are fine. But his embarrassing arguing is very hard to watch.

Riverlee · 10/07/2022 16:08

Kyrios is ranting because of crowd noise. Those no excuse for swearing, but the crowd control has been poor. The umpire should be asking the spectators to be quiet, instead of shrugging his shoulders as if to say,’ not my problem’.

itsgettingweird · 10/07/2022 16:08

Beefilm · 10/07/2022 15:58

Wonder if Kate and Wills are regretting bringing George?

I did actually wonder if Prince George could heat the swearing?

I can't imagine the conversation in the royal box!

carefullycourageous · 10/07/2022 16:09

Maireas · 10/07/2022 16:06

I have no idea.

He is ranting to his supporting group in the box.

Borgonzola · 10/07/2022 16:09

Why is no one reprimanding Kyrgios for being such a whinging man-baby? Confused

Howlongwillthistake · 10/07/2022 16:09

What a vile man... he has anger issues that are going to ruin his career.
How disrespectful to everyone

smartiecake · 10/07/2022 16:10

Who is he shouting at? All the ranting is very annoying

LadyJGrey · 10/07/2022 16:10

Maireas · 10/07/2022 16:06

I have no idea.

His box. (not that can really do anything to calm him down / advise)
And himself.
And aggressive tactics to put off his opponent. Though I think Djokovic is too experienced to fall for it, as we’ve just seen.

Either way, it’s terrible behaviour, and he should be reprimanded for the swearing alone.

Perfectlystill · 10/07/2022 16:10

TBF for an eight year old boy, there's not a lot more thrilling than hearing a grown up swear! My boys at that age would have loved it.

AgathaMystery · 10/07/2022 16:11

About to start the ranting again I reckon

It would be a fabulous picture of a shocked face of George as he hears it
