Pre meditated cheating where penalties where given . Old mate Nick hasn't stooped that low nor would he .
Sorry Larry, But NOT TRYING to win? Giving away points DELIBERATLY! is deemed not cheating? You can bet on games won! Sets won! Nick is a paradox! No one knows what's going on in his mind. He is not a kid anymore, Please stop trying to defend the so called indefensible. Yep Mum & Dad have a lot to answer. imo

Go hard at him guys . Its obviously a sore point that you realise he is actually squeaky clean unlike the 3 amigos your trying to defend for cheating. Funny thing is when Nick shines his band wagon is well and truly persued by his chameleon fan club lol

Truth is Larry, I havent seen anybody on here defend the cricketers for their sandpaper affair, on the contrary, they have been called out by all and sundry on here and have justly payed their own price for the indefensible action. We are simply in awe of the batting ability of STEVE SMITH, as are most cricket lovers, most also accept the umpires decision regarding the availability of the 3 to play again.....I might add that we have commented similarly on the tennis talent of NICK KYRGIOS, only criticism is of his on court behaviour...please show me where anybody has posted otherwise?

Its Nicks on court behavior that I'm talking about. He's fine I think. I would rather spectate Kyrgios than any other tennis player on the circuit. I also admire the way he goes about his business and self coaches. Further more I think he is getting a lot out of himself. The best thing of all is Nick loves Davis cup / Australia and is a cherished contributor . Why knock him at all ?

You love him so repeating explanations and reasons is pointless....lets leave it at that. I will be interested to read your comments though if/when he is fined or suspended for his actions!

No problems Ray . BTW fined no Nick uses that for whatever reason. Suspended I would be the most shocked, and if he cheated in sport is incomprehensible to me especially if it was premeditated NO WAY . In the meantime thanks for your friendly chit chat on this subject.

Surely after Cincinnati even you cant continue to defend his on court behaviour? The guy is a disgrace and an absolute embarrassment to Australia and the sport of tennis

Has been fined over $240,000 in his career so far.
In January this year, Novak Djokovic donated $20,000 to Melbourne City Mission to help foster kids school fees. He also paid for 442 Serbian kids school fees last year.
Nick has got psychological issues. Been saying this for years, he needs 12 months of to deal with it.

Old mate Nick is definitely the most enjoyable to spectate isn't he . A bit predictable though. His recent behavior is usually a sign he is about to play some of the best tennis ever seen from any Australian. I keep cashing in ...it's like taking candy from a baby.

I'll take the Fine! anytime Quinny. Difference is it's pocket money to him.
And I've learnt to shut up!. Besides everything, the Fines are not working! with dear Nick. So try Suspension?

Nick is under a lot of scrutiny. His knockers are just waiting to see if he'll crack . Will he rise above everything negative once he matures , or will he crack. One of Australia's best in the making I believe.

"When he matures!!! His kind is incapable of maturity, as it flies in the face of his only way of getting attention in the media, of which he hungers for. The only way he can resolve the issues (of which he has no intentions) is because he's too gutless to face that man in the mirror!!

Every player has a pattern Nick finds motivation his way . He's emotional. Steve Johnson could sense Nick was gaining too much control of the match when he said " play f...... tennis. " clearly he upsets certain Aussies with his way.

Sports fans especially those who pay the big bucks want to get value for money and want to feel they have watched an exciting exhibition or battle. Too many rules , rule changes, regulations by the ptb are stifling the excitement. Umpires are being seen too much . Nick is an exciting talent to watch who is being wrongly stifled !

Why is Nick Kyrgios the hottest ticket at the US Open.
