Nick Kyrgios: Brat or typical 20-year-old

Nick Kyrgios is fast becoming the bad boy of tennis; with two run ins on the courts at Wimbledon already under his belt. And it seems he’s intent on pushing his luck with Wimbledon officials when he was spotted climbing the wall of an outside court to catch a glimpse of fellow-Aussies Lleyton Hewitt and Thanasi Kokkinakis during their doubles match.

The All England Club rules state that no one is allowed to peer over walls because it could be a distraction to the players on court.

Is Kyrigos simply being a tennis brat? Or should we bear in mind that he is only 20-years-old and likely to enjoy the odd act of rebellion?

Debbie :)

There is a few of us that already stuck him in the bin

http://www.yourlifechoices.com.au/the_meeting_place/9954

 

At the age of 20 he is an adult and has been voting for 2 years

lol - yeah - but I rescued him from the bin - and got him out?  :-)  see "Stick it in the Bin" -   :-) 

 

Nick seems to have got himself a fan this afternoon :)


I have been a huge fan of Nick K.   ever since he beat Nadal .......that was his BIG "intro." into the world of Tennis!  Good on him!  He will learn - but - if he doesn't he will always have his "fans" and hopefully still do well!  ! think he's cool   .....   :-)   

He is a typical new aussie.....right up himself..he will dig his own grave

Nick's dad was born in Greece came to Australia when a child, Nick born in Canberra. His mom is a Malaysian princess,just thought you'd like to know Davey!!

Malaysian Princess............is that a pole dancer for a sleaze joint.

As I said typical Aussie born and bred

He has done it again overnight....nah, gone right off you Nick.  His fans will be of the same ilk as himself....spoilt and ill mannered.

I am sure his mother would be appalled as she appears to be a very nice lady in the interviews I have seen with her.

Thanks Raddy!   :-)   - was only yesterday I said I was a "huge fan of Nick K"  ...does that make me "spoilt and ill-mannered?"  lol lol  ....  (can't "tar" everyone with the same brush!)  His fans like him because of his achievements so early and at his age ..... and good on him!!!

New "kid" on the block .... Dustin Brown -  nickname "Dreddy"  'cause of his long dread-locks!  Beat Nadal last night!!  Thats two relatively new young guys now that have beaten him this season!  Nadal must be feeling the "heat" (and not just the weather! lol) ......

A 20 year old Brat in the making

A future prison inmate learning the ropes

Tall poppy syndrome ?????

I don't follow sport -- but see various things on TV is this bloke called Tomic?  if so then he is a spoilt brat

Kyrgios and Tomic are two different tennis players Plan B, both playing for Australia and both brats

Yes Ray I have noticed so many these days are brats

I am pleased that Tennis Australia will not let Tomic play in the upcoming Davis Cup due to his outburst.

 

Hey Foxy;  we will have to agree to disagree on Nick....when I put that about his fans, I had the youngsters in mind...not a fully matured Foxy chick  such as yourself ;).

lol - it's cool Raddy! (just stirring ya ....)   :-)   

no offence taken ;)

It was very poor form from Kyrgios to dump on Tennis Australia and Pat Rafter who is a gentleman. Serves him right for being dumped and he should stay out of Australian representative tennis until he learns a little courtesy and humility. I see that Tomic has threatened to boycot Wimbledon if Kyrgios is not permitted to play. I think both of these guys need to learn that Australian tennis is bigger than either (or both) of them.

Boooooooooooooooooo   :-)

It was ungrateful Tomic who dumped on Tennis Australia and Kyrgios threatened to do the boycotting.

Booooooooooooooooo   :-)

Two brats in my books...... Just my opinion of course, I would be devastated if any of my children behaved in such an ungrateful manner.... A lot of people have put a lot of time and, in their case, a lot of money into these 'sports stars' and their thanks is to behave in this manner..... Like I said.... just my OLD FASHIONED opinion..... and yes, I'm happy with that...

Hey to all the "wowsers' - what did you ever do in your early 20's that was in comparison to these guys - and - make the money they do??  ZILCH - I'll bet !!!!!  

These guys are amazing for their age - they are entertaining and they play GREAT TENNIS!!   ....Geeezz -  Enjoy life!  :-)   Just my humble opinion .........

tenis aussie presi dent sais  about Tomic "Playing for our country is an absolute privilege, and with that privilege comes an obligation to behave appropriately. He didn't."

I agree with da presi dent

Yeah.... so well said Lord Gumble..... and from our resident alcoholic too.....

Hey Foxy, don't tell me to 'enjoy life', I do that anyway, like I said, just my opinion.. and no I was never a 'Champion Tennis Player' but I have 2 children who competed in world championships in their chosen sport  (and brought home medals) and another who played in Australasian level in her chosen sport so I'm aware of what goes into getting them there..... just because these two brats are earning BIG BUCKS doesn't mean they can behave in such shocking manners, I'm glad TA have banned Tomic they are both just bad tempered rude sports stars.... Call me a 'wowser', call me what you like, it's just my opinion and I'm sticking to it, I'm certainly not going to lower my values in life....

Did I mention "your" name?  I was speaking "generally" - why take it so "personally" ??? - Obviously you have issues with people's opinions on an Internet Public Forum - so why be here??   You have your opinions - excuse me for having mine !!!!  Why attack me in such a way???  Wow .....seen it all now.  Unbelievable!!!   lol 

Don't get so upset there Foxy, my opinion differs to yours so of course you meant me along with the others whose opinion differs to yours..... like I said, just my opinion and trying to get me into argument is not going to work as I'm not the argumentative type.... I live and let live.... I'll agree to disagree with you.... Cheers

Not worth my "opinion" !    Cheers to you too .........................
