I agree, petulant is the word I think, and very very childish.

Disgraceful opinion. Tennis needs more of this.

Yes that's a better word.

Definitely not. I don't want it to turn to football. :/

It's like golf, it needs to stay a gentlemans game with very tight rules. Although i'd rather see Inverdale fired for being a tool than Kyrgios get chucked off the tour.

That should also include the crowd. I'd have those Ozzie fans booted out.

I don't know, he didn't go that far. Of course you can't start throwing games but I'm sure he was just trying to get back into the zone.

Freefaller · 6 Jul 2015 at 13:45

There was an incident last week where he had a go at the lines man then had a go at the umpire. Pretty shoddy behaviour IMO.

Seems Gasquet lost his rag too. Can't expect every player to be level-headed 24/7 at this level.

Freefaller · 6 Jul 2015 at 14:17

Au contraire, I'd expect a professional to be far more level headed.

nemtizz · 6 Jul 2015 at 14:27

I don't know about that. I wouldn't expect anyone with that haircut to act 'normal'.

Freefaller · 6 Jul 2015 at 14:29

Ha!

No but joking aside, I know these guys are under pressure, but losing your rag is poor show really, it makes it unpleasant to watch. Having a bit of respect for the umpire and lines people is the right thing to do - if Nick had apologised afterwards I wouldn't have minded, but he kept on his attitude afterwards.

Well, I really enjoy Kyrgios and his antics. Great fun

On another note, Serena looks way below her best to me. Not sure the rest of the women's draw looks all that strong, but I would be surprised if she won it. I'd have certainly backed Kvitova to beat her, if she were still in.

Freefaller · 6 Jul 2015 at 15:14

I'm glad you're getting entertainment from him

It's good that some people enjoy him. I personally hope he gets knocked out (both of the tournament and by some beast mode line judge!

).

Big Ivos serve is a decent challenge but I think Murray will win it, war of attrition.

Simon's giving Berdych a thumping at the moment, hitting winner after winner from the baseline.

Merlin5 · 6 Jul 2015 at 19:17

Hmm, Djoko is in a spot of bother.

el_dazza · 6 Jul 2015 at 19:19

Think that was the momentum shifter.

Merlin5 · 6 Jul 2015 at 19:45

Blimey, he's really met his match. Anderson is almost giving a masterclass to Djoko.

el_dazza · 6 Jul 2015 at 19:56

I dont think i've ever seen Novak lose a breaker from 4-0 up.

Until now!!

Pigeon_Killer · 6 Jul 2015 at 19:57

Merlin5 · 6 Jul 2015 at 19:58

Wow, Djoko has it all to do now. To win 3 consecutive sets is a tall order for even the champ.
