To wonder why William and Kate don't walk out of Wimbledon?

Why are they putting up with Kyrious swearing and shouting?

Would love it if they did? Also wish Novak would complain about it?

He is spoiling the final with his ranting and his commentary. Can't believe Wimbledon are allowing it?

Wish someone would grow a pair and put a stop to it?
Wish they would walk out with George.

What a hot-headed and nasty character. Do something BBC.

So so glad he lost. I dislike both of them but dislike Krygios more. He should be banned from Wimbledon

HesterShaw1 · 10/07/2022 21:47

I remember the days when a viewer phoned up Wimbledon to complain that she'd heard Goran Ivanisevic swearing in Serbo Croat and the then referee Alan Mills walked on court to have a word with him

And Kyrgios gets away with ranting like a madman for the entire match. Then he moans that the crowd is against him. Imagine if everyone acted like that? Why does he think he's so special? The way he purposely got into Tsitsipas's head in the third round to rattle him and make him lose his cool was disgusting bullying. Just play your tennis and shut up you fucking oaf.

I couldn’t decide who was worse, Djokovic or Kyrgios. Then Andrew Castle starting talking and I realised I disliked him more than either player.

GrinGrinGrin

Andrew Castle is fucking awful. Such a poor commentator. (Not to be confused with the dry Scottish Andrew Cotter with the lockdown labradors, he's fine).

I hate him only slightly less than I utterly loathe the prick that is John Inverdale.

"No Vac"

Honestly? 🙄🙄🙄

He's perfectly entitled to say no to a covid vaccination.

I was wondering seeing why he gets so much grief now still over this

Nice attitude.

Show quote history

Thank.you.🙂

Have I got this right? A grown up said a "naughty word" and so other grown ups should leave a sporting event to show their disdain for the naughty word?

And countries and tournaments are perfectly entitled to say you don't get to enter if you don't have it.

But only two specific grownups. Not the thousands of others who were there 🤔

Its become a bit of a non point now, in fairness.

I agree, they should leave whilst clutching their pearls. Can't listen to some swearing now can we

They do have their young child with them Hmm

Absolutely. It doesn't make the blind bit of difference. Everyone is getting Covid anyway, and if other people have had their vaccination, well it'll protect them won't it?

KissThaRain · 10/07/2022 22:08

if I was related to him and he ranting at me I’d tell him to fuck off and walk out

Well it may have long term consequences for him. They were saying today that at the moment he is banned from Aus for the next 3 years.

TheKeatingFive · 10/07/2022 22:09

Why, because he didn't get a vax last year? That's a bit nuts if so.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 10/07/2022 22:09

Off the point of the thread but at one point I heard a commentator talking about George and saying something like ‘He behaved badly when he was watching a performance the other week’ - if I were George I’d be pretty fed up with being mixed up with my 4 year old brother 😆

MushyPeasPrincess · 10/07/2022 19:58

They will have known exactly what Krygios is like and still decided to attend with their son. Who are you to say they should miss out?

Duchess is Patron so expected there to present trophies etc.

At least Nick is interesting compared to Robo-jock.

You wouldn't say he was interesting if you were playing him. You would say he is cheating and it's unfair as it could put you off. It's called respect and good sportsmanship.

Caterinaballerina · 10/07/2022 22:10

When you are watching in the crowd you can’t hear as much as when it’s on TV so I think George’s ears will have been spared the Kyrgios cursing.

Because he lied to get into the country and was subsequently deported.

They had their child with them.

Would you like your child to hear it.

Does Wimbledon have to go down the pan as well now.

What will players be acting like in the future if they don't nip it in the bud now. Think long term.

TheKeatingFive · 10/07/2022 22:13

Well given their rules are totally different now I'd expect to see some swift rowing back on this closer to the time.

That might happen, yes. But it's no longer a covid issue.

He broke the rules to get into Australia and was deported. Anyone else who gets deported from Australia cannot renter for 3 years. If they bend the rules (again) for him, it could cause bigger issues than letting a tennis player into compete.

He knew this when he chose to fight to be allowed to stay in the country. He knew this was the price if he lost and was deported.
