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’d prefer Djokovic to win. Kyrgios is behaving like a toddler. His girlfriends body language speaks volumes when he’s having his outbursts.
I’m usually not too bothered about tennis but I actually want Kyrgios to lose just to stop the whinging.

I've decided Andrew Castle is also a twat.

Totally agree. His commentary idolisation of Kyrgios is ridiculous.

Like they said - he should be resting and getting his heart rate down. Not having a tantrum.

Interested in this thread?

It's a match between An Established Arse and a Up and Coming Arse

I think that's what makes it so interesting. Because in the tennis world they are quite different to everyone else but against each other they really meet their match (so to speak) in many ways.

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

Ditto.

Talking of madmen...the cuddly fox (?) on the hat of that spectator was a bold choice.

Anyone else wondering if this is all an act to gee himself up or is he actually bonkers?

Andrew said it's how he gets himself set to play as he plays best when he's riled up.

However as drew seems to be a massive fan of his so I'm not sure I trust his judgement.

I can't understand why Kyrgios is still in the competition after his loutish, bullying behaviour, can't stand Djokovic but want him to win so I'm not watching.

Mimilamore · 10/07/2022 16:49

I like Kyrgios....

Maireas · 10/07/2022 16:49

I wish Nadal had been able to play. Kyrgios got lucky there. Plus a day of rest.

Ah, makes sense now!

This is me. I dislike both players for different reasons. A draw would be great 😂😂

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…

In my case its because one is a lying anti-vaxxer who lobbied against equal pay for women and in the case of the other its because of repeated gamesmanship and his forthcoming DV case against his former girlfriend.

badhappening · 10/07/2022 16:50

Crowds at Wimbledon backing Kyrgios 😎

Stradbroke · 10/07/2022 16:50

Not all commentators are ok with him. Funny that it’s a woman to call him out. mobile.twitter.com/treesey/status/1546156485436231680

Should be "his forthcoming DV case for assault against his former girlfriend". Where is that edit button?

Rugges · 10/07/2022 16:51

Lord. I am Australian and I dislike Djok for his anti vaxxing antics at the Oz Open and I dislike Kyrgios for his truly despicable low behaviour which brings utter shame to us.

Hoping Djok wins it today.

Rugges · 10/07/2022 16:51

Never thought I'd be on Djok's side tbh.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 10/07/2022 16:52

What was with the female suddenly talking during the commentary?

SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 10/07/2022 15:48

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

yup

Rosscameasdoody · 10/07/2022 16:53

I’m not focusing on the personalities - just the tennis, and enjoying the standard. Sorry. Don’t care who wins though.

Rugges · 10/07/2022 16:51

I vaguely recall Murray saying he was good friends with Djokovic. Murray seems sound enough so perhaps there's a nicer side to him.

It sounds like Clare Balding.

TokyoTen · 10/07/2022 16:54

When all said and done NK is doing amazingly considering how strong Djokovic is. Hope it does to another set.
