Well Nick is one of the fans of Roger so he does respect him and Roger respects almost every player on tour.

[@KarmaticEvolution]

Actually I think Federer started to lose respect for Nick after he started taking tennis even less seriously.

[@justinbouchard]

In my mind Nick is one of the goats man. No doubt about it. Smashes number 1's, get's people in the crowd kicked out and hits tweeners on the regular.

[@zacharywan2004]

When roger said,” we need a clown for this circus” was he refering to Nick or the constant bad calls by the lines person? Can someone enlighten me on this thanks!

[@lexigold8448]

Given the timing I think it was to do with the bad calls - this match had so many corrections, the linespeople really weren't on form

I would like to think it was to Kyrgios, who kept acting like a clown.

I wish he just would like the sport more. Its crazy how someone can be so good and still not like it very much, but i totally get him. I also didn't like tennis at all at one point because i kind of forced myself to play so i stopped playing gor a while. I slowly started playing again but not for the purpose of being good but for having fun, i think that's what gets you the most motivation. I bet Kyrgios could be or could have been number 1 if he just learned to harness his talent.
