Kyrgios vs Sinner Controversy | Miami Open 2022

[@yogayatra5994]

Sinner’s composure is not only admirable, but also entertaining. While NK releases his tantrum on the umpire, Jan calmly takes a sip of water. He’ll júst not sigh or roll his eyes. He leaves it completely where it belongs: on the other side.Very strong!💪🦊

[@josephhunter1627]

Without a doubt kyrgios new he was being outclassed in this match this was nick at best best and I’m peak physical condition last year so clearly difficult for him to take mentally that he wasn’t finding solutions against Janikk

[@taxicamel]

This is exactly what destroyed the game years ago when McEnroe was on the court. I can't be bothered to watch players like this. It is the tennis federation's fault for not stopping this crap BEFORE is manifests. Argue with an umpire and you are penalized. Continue to argue for ONE SECOND and your disqualified. .

[@dl3988]

@@taxicamel Couldn't agree more. We're here to watch and enjoy top-level tennis. If I wanted to see an infant throwing a tantrum, I'd just stay home and watch my 16 month old son do his thing shrug. The Big Three has shown us that it's possible to achieve unprecedented success on court without all the nonsense. Alcaraz and Sinner keeping up that tradition.

why would you engage when the umpire gifts you the first set? there was pressure for Sinner at 5-3 after Nicks return winner on 5-2.

Man I love Kyrgios but this sh*t annoys me, as much as I think the umpire went a little overboard with the point penalty he only has himself to blame, starting off angry at the court bounces and them not telling him center court played different to the outside courts you just knew it was gonna be one of those days... the guy just always finds something to be mad about at all times, if he can't find something he almost makes it up and that's the part that annoys me about him, when you're already in an angry mindset it's so much easy to cross the line opposed to when you're calm and things happen, It builds up slowly throughout the course of the match and every little things magnifies to him, I love watching him play but this tournament was a great one for him to possibly win, having Cerundolo in the QF would've been a pretty good run to at least the Semi's for him without this blowup, as much as I think he has matured he still has a long way to go.

Can we start the conversation of the double standard that happens in tennis ? When Serena Williams was brutally chastised for her outburst at the US Open final in 2018, the media chewed and spat her out but we condone similar (even worse) behavior in mens tennis. It’s sad.

I think there are some double standards here for sure in terms of how some condone this kind of behaviour in guys, but most people are not condoning it and he got penalized and fined as well.
