Kyrgios confused at 'Bully' accusations - Wimbledon 2022 | Wide World of Sports

[@Dee-zy5gh]

When Kyrgios is angry he shows it, when he does not like a call he says it. But he's honest and wears his heart on his sleeve. Unlike Tsitsipas who slyly gets coaching from his father during bathroom breaks and between points. His lengthy bathroom breaks when losing are legendary, and even if he now cannot carry his whole bag with him, it's still a deliberate distraction technique. For me that's not great sportsmanship. I'd choose a lion over a snake any day.

Kyrios and Tsitsipas are evenly matched in many ways. It would be fascinating as a tennis fan to explore technically(or even psychologically) what is giving Kyrios a slight edge in head to head. But ratings first reporters give us irrelevant question after question about mild disagreements or fan altercations that took up 30 seconds of multiple hour matches.

Nick is the only tennis player who behaves that way during a match. He yells non stop for no reason. Talks non stop for no reason. Gets into arguments with the umpire, while the other player waits until he's finished with his tantrums. No other player does this, it's appalling. He needs to grow up.

[@javiert.592]

To begin with I must say Kyrgios behaviour is ALWAYS bad when things don’t go his way. Tsitsipas’s behaviour is also terrible at times. I find it very unsportmanlike from Kyrgios the following things: a) To ask for his opponent’s disqualification. Also he’s gone over the line so many times and got away with it with little punishment, but still he is always playing the victim. b) To claim as usual that he’s got a good record against an opponent when he does, as if that backs him up. c) Insulting the umpire once again for not disqualifying Tsitsipas. Many players and some spectators (as myself) also find very annoying that Kyrgios is always talking, complaining, breaking the rhythm and so on. What I disliked About Tsitsipas: - To partly blame your opponent for abusing the ball is unfair. - You can’t loose your control and smash a ball into the crowd when trying to hit Kyrgios. - As much as I dislike Kyrgios, you know nothing about Kyrgios to say he might have been a bully at school. By the way Nick you said “I’ve got many friends in the locke room”, really? More than people who dislike you? Tsitipas won’t be one of your friends any more, I suppose…

[@robmarth2226]

I agree with most of your points, but Tsitsipas should be disqualified tho, it's not OK to abuse balls like that. And I believe you doubt that Kyrgios have many friends, but at least he has good terms with fellow Aussie players and Andy Murray. Tsitsipas on the other hand, I find it difficult to name even one person
