Oh fuck he has won

MinglingFlamingo · 02/07/2022 21:16

That was a nasty drop shot at the end of that match point rally

PollyPeeves · 02/07/2022 21:16

eugh….

Raahh · 02/07/2022 21:16

oh crap.

JuanPotatoTwo · 02/07/2022 21:17

Oh :(.

MinglingFlamingo · 02/07/2022 21:17

Steff was off the court sharp. He had enough

ChessieFL · 02/07/2022 21:17

Oh dear

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2022 21:18

Ugh not waiting for his interview and can't listen to any more of John Lloyd's crap.

The umpire should get some sort of dispensation after a match like that - “You don’t need to ref a Kyrgios match for the next five years.” Like they do with juries after a particularly harrowing murder trial.

AppropriateAdult · 02/07/2022 21:19

Can’t believe they didn’t show the handshake!

JuanPotatoTwo · 02/07/2022 21:19

Insofar as you can tell my looking, Kyrgios looks like the most mild mannered of men!

littlbrowndog · 02/07/2022 21:20

You hide your frustrations well. 📴

JuanPotatoTwo · 02/07/2022 21:20

Sorry that was meant to say Mr Kyrgios senior!

I thought that! Hmm sarcastic much

PlanetNormal · 02/07/2022 21:22

Kyrgios is a genius. He is also a total prat. Some of his drop shots & volleys are of McEnroe standard. What a shame all that talent is so often overshadowed by his ridiculous behaviour.

JuanPotatoTwo · 02/07/2022 21:23

Nick is a crowd puller isn’t he? They’re not going to be sad he’s through.

the80sweregreat · 02/07/2022 21:25

No doubting Kyrgios talent , but the antics are annoying and overshadows everything
I only caught the last set , but it's obvious he has many ' issues' :(
It is a bad example to upcoming new players.

dropthevipers · 02/07/2022 21:33

when Kyrigios is dribbling into his cocao in the twilight rest home, he must wonder what sort of career he could have had if he spent as much time honing his (evidently prodigious) talent as he did acting like an utter prat.

Snoredoeurve · 02/07/2022 21:35

Can I join you?
I dont think I have ever seen such a dreadful display of behaviour as NK tonight.
Constantly berating the umpire and the verbal abuse throughout the match.
If this was football he would have been red carded and off.
Not keen on ST behaviour either but I think he will learn from this.
I think Rafa was pulled up by the umpire as they both turned to look at him quickly.
But he stopped immediately and that was it.

magimedi · 02/07/2022 21:44

Such a shame that an amazing player like Kyrgrios is such an ankle!

If I were the umpire I'd have defaulted him & sent him off very early in that match. I thought the umpire was apalling at letting Kyrgios get away with all he did.

Mind you, my heart is just not in this years Wimbledon - I have yet to watch a match that has kept me enthralled for the duration.

It's either age or covid or no longer being in UK!!

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 02/07/2022 21:53

So are we going to see the Kyrgios version of this in tomorrow’s papers? Or is it only female tennis players who have to behave nicely?

Getting quite sick of hearing everyone banging on about his talent and the crowd roaring for him - watching a nearly thirty year old man behave more badly than the most petulant of teenagers is sickening, watching the umpire utterly fail to deal with him is more so, and hearing the excuses being made for him because talent is the worst of all.
