He tried to commit suicide a few months later than this. But of course YOU would be correct with your PROFESSIONAL ARMCHAIR DIAGNOSIS, sit down and stop trying to sound smart
I have always admired Kyrgios' talent and enjoyed many of his 'chaos' moments...but seeing the total lack of respect that he shows for a hard-working opponent in this match is truly unpleasant. Kyrgios clearly has no empathy for others...a sign perhaps of the inner demons with which he struggles.
this was 2018. The media and small minded people like Wivorn dine out on every entertaining bad moment since he walked on court in 2014. If you want some empathy, listen to his Good Trouble shows.
he said "borderline" borderline what? Good? lol ... I think Nick might of been on to something here. Like is it against the rules to not try 100 percent on every point?
@@almister It is against the rules to not give your 100%. You can be fined up to 50 000 for it. The umpire was saying he was borderline because Nick was obviously not trying his best, nothing to do with his level or being aced. Nick tried turning it into the ref saying Nick wasn't good enough. Doesn't take a genius to see the ump is right.
The dude ranked 800 in the world is fighting and scrapping and trying for every point.....whereas a player of NK's calibre is half-arseing it like it's all a big joke. Pathetic.
The "dude" is Bradley Khan, one of the most decorated players to ever play US college tennis, and he was once the world #63... he was ranked just outside the 100 when this match was played (I stand corrected but I believe he was #104 the week of this match).
@@matthewburgar2626 Well, I became suspicious that it was even possible to play as a #800 ranked player to compete in a atp1000 event (as someone else in the comments also noticed) so I had to look it up . Even to be able to qualify (as Klahn did earlier in this event) it isn't possible as a #800. Only as a wildcard it is, but you have to be a high ranked player coming back from injury or some sorts. If Nick played against a true #800 ranked player, he would've won easy in two sets even in this static behaviour he displayed in this match.
@@jurrepos Oh yah. I mean I don’t deny that Nick has talent in spades. The problem is that he behaves like a total imbecile. He’s just a volatile and narcissistic jerk.
His talent is or actually was the same if not bigger than Federer's and he could've been at Federer's level easily. The problem was always what was going on inside of his head.
@@pawelfronczyk1579 I can't agree with the notion that NK "could've been at Federer's level easily" but to be frank we''ll never know for sure. I mean, I think that even a guy like Rios was more talented than Kyrgios (and less than Federer), and he backed it up by being ranked #1.... NK didn't have basically any achievements other than the Wimby final. That said, I do agree your point about his head issues and that was part of my comment above. (Rios had those issues too).
@@pawelfronczyk1579 Yes. And as I say he does go to excess but he's also openly discussed his personal issues and I applaud him for that. I did pick up on some misogyny in there too which I won't excuse either but overall yes I think Nick and I would have some seriously deep conversations over a pint or four. One of the current pros that I think of when someone says "who would you like to take lessons from?"
kyrgios never managed to handle the pressure of playing professional tennis with such a huge talent. It is clear that he suffers mentally on the court and would rather be anywhere else. He sure had depression for a large part of his career.
I’d say he’s depressed because he realises he’s not as spectacularly good at tennis as his ego would have him believe he is. Most people outgrow that stage of development when they are children. They don’t just stay there, stuck in the doldrums because reality is different from their dreams.
@@MonaleenianKyrgios may be immature, or suffering a mental illness or whatever, but I don’t think he was an egotist. The fact is he was insanely talented, and far better than the vast majority of pros. If he managed to stay focused, be fit and disciplined he would have won a few majors.
The guy always behaved like the whole world owes him something. If you want to take an example of someone who consistently failed sportsmanship class, he is your guy.
@@mikef6399 It's not as simple. We are all humans, and we are all dealing with stuff and fighting our own battles and demons. Being mental strong, is one of the rarest and hardest skills to archieve. For me - Kyrgios is a great example of no matter how talented you are at something, it doesnt matter if you don't put in the hard work also. Talentwise Kyrgios is the closest you get to Federer, yet his career is the complete opposite. As a wise man once said: You can archieve almost everything in this world with no talent if you work hard enough - And no matter how talented you are, it won't take you anywhere, if you are not willing to put in the hard work also.
Damn how did you find this? You are the best tennis documentarian in internet. Even Nick would probably forget this match and not remember any single point. You will surely find more of epic Nick’s forgotten dramas soon :)
Extremely popular publicity and high viewership, sports deals with major brands... I guess I would disagree that when a person is among the best players in the world of an extremely popular sport is "wasting a gift".
@@SpikeSpiegelCatasrophe it all depends on your perspective but most agree that he could have been much more than sports deals and publicity. As for *unfulfilled potential* - Kyrgios exemplifies the definition of the term, sadly.
This was 2018. Six years ago. He was in the middle of serious clinical depression and a few months later was self harming. By June 2019 he was contemplating suicide. Mr wivorn thinks that's hilarious.
This was 2019. Six year ago. He was handling severe chronic depression. Within a few months he was self-harming and by June he had attempted suicide. So yes - probably hungover.
@@saccount8009 He was extremely in the middle of a serious period of depression which was followed by self-hard and attempted suicide a few months later. But yeah.
The sad story of the greatest raw tennis talent in history, who took his talent for granted. He finally realized that if he got serious, he could be the greatest of all time. But then injuries crept in and his career was effectively over. He had run out of time and now it was gone. One of the greatest lessons that sport has ever given us.
Once, Stefanos Tsitsipas rightly said "how can someone be upset for each and everything on court?". True! He thinks he has to win the match even before it starts coz he is the "Tennis God". His time has already run out!! Has to retire soon.
His overall attitude is disrespectful to the game, and in this instance his behaviour I thought was dismissive of his opponent because he was ranked so much lower. The issue for Nick is that tennis is an individual sport so you don't have coaches that can hook you mid match for having a bad attitude. There's very little accountability. You do something stupid and lose, you just play in the next tournament. Imagine producing this in a Sir Alex Ferguson team. You wouldn't play again and be shipped out in the next transfer window.
For those who think he gave those points on purpose (including ump), he didn’t. He was not 100% and the game plan was to conserve energy and win all his service games. Result shows he wasn’t arrogant. He played his best in the situation. Everybody loves to jump on the hate bandwagon but he wasn’t disrespectful to the opponent once in this match, and even said good serve when klahn served some unplayable aces.
That's what I thought, most people got it wrong here, he was giving props to his apponent when he made a good play , he even asked him to challenge a line call on serv3 because it didn't feel right of his racquet,, I mean how fair and respectful can anyone be, and he was correct the ball was long,, he gave the point away, as the serve was called good.
Kyrios, spoilt little prince. Wasted his talent because he does not have the self-discipline or work ethic needed in top end modern singles tennis. Now he goes straight to being a commentator and expert, sitting with McEnroe going "Guys like us....."
@@v4v819 The point is Kyrgios is a big ZERO in terms of tennis achievements versus McEnroe, who won 7 Slams, 155 total titles in singles and doubles, and was ranked #1 in the world in singles and doubles.
@@potzysk2 Different era bro... Too much parity in the pro tour now a days for any one player to dominate like Johnny Mac or Sampras did in bygone eras...
He is someone to watch in future events. Thanks! I hate unfair ethics in fair fights, but he is confident, arrogant and talented player. Your game is cocky enough so no need to disgrace your self. It's a gentlemen's sport. In our days every sport should be so. As far as a bad language can go, there are champions in tennis that could outshine your bad manner in a mile. People thought they can use trash talk as an instrument to immediate their opponents in fighting sports and found out that's not the right place to show bad manners. cheers!
I don’t know why the ref didn’t simply explain to him what he meant by borderline, I’m fairly certain what he meant was that he was pushing the envelope of not putting in professional effort.
I don't think it would have helped. If you watch Nick's other matches, he always finds something to dig into in a hyper and unreasonable way. It's not rational and that's the whole problem. He let's something get under his skin and just won't let it go.
WHY? i can tell u why; bc any comment TO NK results in an insulting relentless barrage of disrespectful verbal vomit from NK to anyone that dares make a semi challenging comment to him. the ump shd wear ear plugs and NK shd put contact cement in his lip gloss!
No player likes to play in Chinese tournaments, many of the players only play there because of the show bonus. That's why you always see so many upsets there, especially during the first couple of weeks. I guess Nick was just one of the players that just want to grab the bonus and head home.
@@hehehehehahahaha2025 Well, I think it is a schedule thing. They are played late season, and the ATP Tour is a freaking grind, and not all players are mentally tough enough to withstand it all. I think Kyrgios missed his family and friends. Just because you have a boat load of talent does not mean that you have a strong drive to be the best. While thousands of players wishes that they had Kyrgios' talent, he wishes that he had the motivation of others. It is very rare to see a strong combination of the two. Some extremely talented athletes would rather have a normal life away from the spotlights and fame, but their talents keep them in the game.
@@hehehehehahahaha2025 There are many reasons - 1. The tournament schedule - The tournaments are played in late season, and the schedule is usually very tight. Plus it's the season which it rains a lots, matches are often delayed, which makes the schedule even tighter. 2. The weather - Apart from the rain, wind, air pollution and temperature difference is also quite bad there. The wind can get pretty strong sometimes, and air pollution could affect how you breath. Temperature difference between day and night is also huge, so if a match was delayed from mid-day to evening, it'd deffo be a problem. All of the above can affect how a player performs. 3. The line judges - The line judges used to be very awful there. Though they have improved and there's hawkeye system now, it can still be quite annoying sometimes. 4. Corruption - I used to be tennis player in Taiwan, it's well known and often discussed between the players that the authorities in China often offer a bonus to players to lose the matches against local players. This way they can give the players a ranking boost, make local people feel proud, and increase the ticket sale. It's a well known screct that no one wants to talk about, because ATP/WTA needs the money, and players don't want to get into trouble by making it public. You can see that by seeing how fast they resumed back to play in China after Peng Shuai incident. It's also a hard choice for players, because they don't want to say yes, but if they say no, they're going to risk losing sponsorship from Chinese companies. That's why many players would rather just not play there at all.
@@v4v819 To me, talents are the things you cannot teach. Thus, I think the defensive specialists are less talented than the shot makers. I know that there are defensive talents, especially the return of serve, but grindy players like Mats Wilander and Lleyton Hewitt are more teachable because the mental part increases with experience. Shot making is much harder to teach, and first serve in particular. Only rating the shot making play style I'd put Kyrgios at Tier S in talent among Federer, Sampras, McEnroe, Becker, and Edberg. Kyrgios' lack of motivation was his downfall. Rating defensive players I'd put Borg, Agassi, Nadal, Djokovic and Wilander significantly more talented than Murray. Defensive players win by grinding down their opponents and making them miss. It is very efficient, and the changes of the surfaces, making the grass significantly slower has certainly helped them win tournaments. So, being biased against defensive players, I'd put Kyrgios talents over Wilander, Hewitt, Murray etc. I mean, if Murray had Kyrgios first serve, then he'd win so many grand slams.
He gets p… off with the umpire for cutting his rhythm off, but he doesn’t realize how disruptive and unsportsmanlike he actually is for the opponent with all his talking during rallies, disrespectful mocking and attitude on court. Opponent could clearly complain about Kyrios clowning but he didn’t. That’s why most of people don’t consider Kyrios a tennis player but a clown.

He tried to commit suicide a few months later than this. But of course YOU would be correct with your PROFESSIONAL ARMCHAIR DIAGNOSIS, sit down and stop trying to sound smart

Been subscribed for a while now. Just wanted to say keep it up man. Love watching these more obscure matches.
Appreciate it. Thank you so much ❤️
Who in their right mind would even want to be his coach
That'd be why he deliberately doesn't have one....
Krusty the Clown...
I have always admired Kyrgios' talent and enjoyed many of his 'chaos' moments...but seeing the total lack of respect that he shows for a hard-working opponent in this match is truly unpleasant. Kyrgios clearly has no empathy for others...a sign perhaps of the inner demons with which he struggles.
this was 2018. The media and small minded people like Wivorn dine out on every entertaining bad moment since he walked on court in 2014. If you want some empathy, listen to his Good Trouble shows.
Sign of a sociopathic a hole
@@sportslover2356his actions speak louder than words on any podcast
@@BleedTheRic This match was nearly seven years ago. SEVEN years ago. Wivorn drags up this because he is not allowed to publish anything more recent.
@@BleedTheRic this match was 2019. How you can jeer at him in this situation is staggering.
The umpire didn't say "poor"😂
he said "borderline" borderline what? Good? lol ... I think Nick might of been on to something here. Like is it against the rules to not try 100 percent on every point?
@@almister It is against the rules to not give your 100%. You can be fined up to 50 000 for it. The umpire was saying he was borderline because Nick was obviously not trying his best, nothing to do with his level or being aced. Nick tried turning it into the ref saying Nick wasn't good enough. Doesn't take a genius to see the ump is right.
@@almister Borderline EFFORT. Nick knew that, too. That's all the umpire can make a ruling on, effort level.
he's still an idiot
@@johnny09876 @almister is this actually a thing? LOL against the rules to not give your 100%.???? what happens if he doesnt try, seriously?
Can you imagine this is the same guy that beat Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic in their primes? lol
8:37 - Jason Mraz playing in the background makes this even better 😂
The dude ranked 800 in the world is fighting and scrapping and trying for every point.....whereas a player of NK's calibre is half-arseing it like it's all a big joke.
Pathetic.
Looked to me kyrigos lost on purpose to get out of Shanghai
The "dude" is Bradley Khan, one of the most decorated players to ever play US college tennis, and he was once the world #63... he was ranked just outside the 100 when this match was played (I stand corrected but I believe he was #104 the week of this match).
@@Bobby.546 then why even bother to show up?
Well it is a big joke to Nick
@@Nick-ei6em which is crazy to think, cuz even tho he was so good in college he's miles below Nick's level. Nick nearly won whilst giving zero fucks
Kyrgios, a former World #13 who had the potential to be top 10 and be so much more vs a World #800. A most peculiar matchup.
Klahn wasn't #800 at that time in 2018, he was #104. Classic example of clickbaiting.
@@jurrepos Okay. I didn’t even really look at who he was playing. Didn’t get to that part in the video yet.
@@matthewburgar2626 Well, I became suspicious that it was even possible to play as a #800 ranked player to compete in a atp1000 event (as someone else in the comments also noticed) so I had to look it up . Even to be able to qualify (as Klahn did earlier in this event) it isn't possible as a #800. Only as a wildcard it is, but you have to be a high ranked player coming back from injury or some sorts.
If Nick played against a true #800 ranked player, he would've won easy in two sets even in this static behaviour he displayed in this match.
@@jurrepos Oh yah. I mean I don’t deny that Nick has talent in spades. The problem is that he behaves like a total imbecile. He’s just a volatile and narcissistic jerk.
@@jurrepos I know how tennis tournaments work. I've been watching tennis since I was 8. That's almost a quarter of a century.
Sometimes he's amusing, other times he just comes across as a complete jerk. This is one of the latter.
You know it's bad when members of the audience are trying to motivate Nick 🧐

I DO NOT miss Kyrgios' CIRCUS - he's an embarrassment to this sport.
I know he has baggage, so do most people, but many of us don't act this way.
Where's your multiple wins against the Big 3, and doubles Australian Open?....... Oh wait you sit on the couch all day nevermind 😂
@@KingAdjustRealMadridFan-h7b You are acting like you do something more. Kyrgios is just wasted talent. Nothing more.

Kyrigios is a typical Aussie. Just the way they are. Be careful in an Aussie pub. Just sayin'
@@KingAdjustRealMadridFan-h7b with his skills and God gifted talent, he should have won more than 7 singles titles.
The problem with Kyrgios isn’t that he lacks talent-he’s got plenty. His problem is thinking he’s on Roger Federer’s level-he’s far from it.
Actually he's not though. Therein lies the problem. I love Nick. Some or most of the time. But not all of it.
His talent is or actually was the same if not bigger than Federer's and he could've been at Federer's level easily. The problem was always what was going on inside of his head.
@@pawelfronczyk1579 yes, yes, u right. If my gramma had wings she would easily be an airplane as well…
@@pawelfronczyk1579 I can't agree with the notion that NK "could've been at Federer's level easily" but to be frank we''ll never know for sure. I mean, I think that even a guy like Rios was more talented than Kyrgios (and less than Federer), and he backed it up by being ranked #1.... NK didn't have basically any achievements other than the Wimby final. That said, I do agree your point about his head issues and that was part of my comment above. (Rios had those issues too).
@@pawelfronczyk1579 Yes. And as I say he does go to excess but he's also openly discussed his personal issues and I applaud him for that. I did pick up on some misogyny in there too which I won't excuse either but overall yes I think Nick and I would have some seriously deep conversations over a pint or four. One of the current pros that I think of when someone says "who would you like to take lessons from?"
kyrgios never managed to handle the pressure of playing professional tennis with such a huge talent. It is clear that he suffers mentally on the court and would rather be anywhere else. He sure had depression for a large part of his career.
I’d say he’s depressed because he realises he’s not as spectacularly good at tennis as his ego would have him believe he is. Most people outgrow that stage of development when they are children. They don’t just stay there, stuck in the doldrums because reality is different from their dreams.
@@MonaleenianKyrgios may be immature, or suffering a mental illness or whatever, but I don’t think he was an egotist. The fact is he was insanely talented, and far better than the vast majority of pros. If he managed to stay focused, be fit and disciplined he would have won a few majors.
@@Monaleenianlol what? He is an amazing tennis player, depressed or not. Just look at him play.
The guy always behaved like the whole world owes him something. If you want to take an example of someone who consistently failed sportsmanship class, he is your guy.
@@mikef6399 It's not as simple. We are all humans, and we are all dealing with stuff and fighting our own battles and demons. Being mental strong, is one of the rarest and hardest skills to archieve. For me - Kyrgios is a great example of no matter how talented you are at something, it doesnt matter if you don't put in the hard work also. Talentwise Kyrgios is the closest you get to Federer, yet his career is the complete opposite. As a wise man once said: You can archieve almost everything in this world with no talent if you work hard enough - And no matter how talented you are, it won't take you anywhere, if you are not willing to put in the hard work also.
Alot of guys ignore the mental aspect of being a professional athlete.
This is what often separates the very good athletes from the elite.
Damn how did you find this? You are the best tennis documentarian in internet. Even Nick would probably forget this match and not remember any single point. You will surely find more of epic Nick’s forgotten dramas soon :)
Agree. Wivo is the best!
Kyrgios telling his opponent to challenge his own serve because "it didn't feel good". That's hilarious hahaha 😂😂😂
NK could have been top 5 for sure.....he will look back with regrets for wasting the gift of tennis that has been given to him.
is he not prepraring to play again soon ?
he would have been top 5 in 2022 if Wimbledon points counted.
Agreed that he had the talent but not sure he'll regret it (too stubborn IMHO).
Extremely popular publicity and high viewership, sports deals with major brands... I guess I would disagree that when a person is among the best players in the world of an extremely popular sport is "wasting a gift".
@@SpikeSpiegelCatasrophe it all depends on your perspective but most agree that he could have been much more than sports deals and publicity. As for *unfulfilled potential* - Kyrgios exemplifies the definition of the term, sadly.
3:33 he is trying so hard to prove he doesn't want to be there lol
Lmao
was he just extremely hungover??
Looks hungover
This was 2018. Six years ago. He was in the middle of serious clinical depression and a few months later was self harming. By June 2019 he was contemplating suicide. Mr wivorn thinks that's hilarious.
This was 2019. Six year ago. He was handling severe chronic depression. Within a few months he was self-harming and by June he had attempted suicide. So yes - probably hungover.
@@saccount8009 He was extremely in the middle of a serious period of depression which was followed by self-hard and attempted suicide a few months later. But yeah.
He got big dack in his ass night before
The sad story of the greatest raw tennis talent in history, who took his talent for granted.
He finally realized that if he got serious, he could be the greatest of all time.
But then injuries crept in and his career was effectively over. He had run out of time and now it was gone.
One of the greatest lessons that sport has ever given us.
It's fine to play casual, but how do you expect to win returning like that? Man, it's frustrating because his talent is off the charts
middle of the argument jason mraz im yours as a background is amazing.
Once, Stefanos Tsitsipas rightly said "how can someone be upset for each and everything on court?". True! He thinks he has to win the match even before it starts coz he is the "Tennis God". His time has already run out!! Has to retire soon.
Omg you are using Sissypus as the example?? 😂😂
@@judgeprime3730what are your thoughts now?
His overall attitude is disrespectful to the game, and in this instance his behaviour I thought was dismissive of his opponent because he was ranked so much lower. The issue for Nick is that tennis is an individual sport so you don't have coaches that can hook you mid match for having a bad attitude. There's very little accountability. You do something stupid and lose, you just play in the next tournament. Imagine producing this in a Sir Alex Ferguson team. You wouldn't play again and be shipped out in the next transfer window.
Nicks the fun guy at the party..You don't want Marrying your Daughters..😂😂😂
So much potential... so little mental control. He was his worst enemy... what a shame
It’s crazy that people will tolerate behavior like this just because someone is “good” at something.
For those who think he gave those points on purpose (including ump), he didn’t. He was not 100% and the game plan was to conserve energy and win all his service games. Result shows he wasn’t arrogant. He played his best in the situation. Everybody loves to jump on the hate bandwagon but he wasn’t disrespectful to the opponent once in this match, and even said good serve when klahn served some unplayable aces.
That's what I thought, most people got it wrong here, he was giving props to his apponent when he made a good play , he even asked him to challenge a line call on serv3 because it didn't feel right of his racquet,, I mean how fair and respectful can anyone be, and he was correct the ball was long,, he gave the point away, as the serve was called good.
game in the first set at 3-5 made me laugh. guy was at the net for the first return, then so far back he was off the screen for the 2nd 🤣
no respect to the opponent ! unpleasant to watch !
Surely the greatest w@nker to ever grace a tennis court.
People paid for see the match and he acts like a bad clown. Where is the clown? Look the mirror, mate
I see a G in the mirror mate.
Every time i think i have seen everything from kyrgios and then a new video appeers fro. Nowhere😂

This is when the mob tells you to throw a game
And this man is an analyst for ESPN and tennis channel folks
Worst tennis persona in history
one word of “borderline” from the umpire and nick rants on about it for the next hour 😭😭😭
Kyrios, spoilt little prince. Wasted his talent because he does not have the self-discipline or work ethic needed in top end modern singles tennis. Now he goes straight to being a commentator and expert, sitting with McEnroe going "Guys like us....."
"guys like us" 😂😂😂
He's in good company then... Him and Johnny Mac the bad boys of their era... They hated Johnny as much as they hate Nick now...
@@v4v819 YEAH but the point is.... how many grand slams did Johnny Mac win and how many Nick?
@@v4v819 The point is Kyrgios is a big ZERO in terms of tennis achievements versus McEnroe, who won 7 Slams, 155 total titles in singles and doubles, and was ranked #1 in the world in singles and doubles.
@@potzysk2 Different era bro... Too much parity in the pro tour now a days for any one player to dominate like Johnny Mac or Sampras did in bygone eras...
4:37 to 4:45 might genuinely be the funniest 8 seconds of youtube i've ever watched. the storytelling is pristine
His biggest opponent has always been himself
Lol what a shame as Australian sportsmanship shame shame...
I loved Klahn beating him after he called him a clown. He wasn’t laughing after the match was he?
kyrgios is the most hateable player out there, such a child
He is someone to watch in future events. Thanks! I hate unfair ethics in fair fights, but he is confident, arrogant and talented player.
Your game is cocky enough so no need to disgrace your self. It's a gentlemen's sport. In our days every sport should be so. As far as a bad language
can go, there are champions in tennis that could outshine your bad manner in a mile. People thought they can use trash talk as an instrument to immediate
their opponents in fighting sports and found out that's not the right place to show bad manners.
cheers!
What was he doing at 4:44 with that return position, looked like he just came out of the tunnel lol
This is like a college basketball team facing off against the Celtics.
there's no way he's #800 here... how could he even get into qualifying at the ranking?
maybe protected ranking or WC
@@TheLiga oh true I hadn't thought of that
He was no.108 at that time. Just click baiting.
@@zayaansays6820 that makes much more sense
Proof that talent alone doesn’t make you the GOAT. 💯
and they still gave him a job as sports commentator to make him even richer ...
I still find it amazing that Nick was clumsy with the bottle, but the label stayed on the umpire's chair. NEXT LEVEL PHYSICS!
he did NOT wanna be there ! lol
The umpire was out of line to comment how Nick was approaching the game
Perfect example of a child that growed up with no limits.
A reminder that tennis is as much a game of persistent focus as it is talent and skill
I don’t know why the ref didn’t simply explain to him what he meant by borderline, I’m fairly certain what he meant was that he was pushing the envelope of not putting in professional effort.
I don't think it would have helped. If you watch Nick's other matches, he always finds something to dig into in a hyper and unreasonable way. It's not rational and that's the whole problem. He let's something get under his skin and just won't let it go.
WHY? i can tell u why; bc any comment TO NK results in an insulting relentless barrage of disrespectful verbal vomit from NK to anyone that dares make a semi challenging comment to him. the ump shd wear ear plugs and NK shd put contact cement in his lip gloss!
Good job Brad...that's how respect is earned...tennis has no room for lousy personality like Kyrgios.
Great to see Kyrigios get it handed to him; he's such a pompous ass. Well done Klahn! Kyrigios can be insufferable over time, as good as he is.
Bros saying well done as if he beat someone who was trying
I literary lought out loud.. hits was so funny.. that straight aces by nick was epic.. Nik was so so taleneted..
Nick: it slipped out of my hand :)
One has to laugh at this one xD
Better player won. Simply as that.
When Novak gets upset, he plays BETTER.
When Nick gets upset, he SELF DESTRUCTS.
A good example of poor sportsmanship... A poor player, and poor athleticism.
A couple of shots he hit here are borderline impossible. UNREAL skill
The argument was funny lol
Borderline, borderline, borderline LOL
The umpire's commentary on that ace seemed not in the bounds of what his role is there.
Lol he wasn’t even trying
He most likely was trying. But his mental weakness wouldnt let him focus.
Nick "I could've won 35 majors...I'm so good, but I was bored" Kyrgios, the consummate con artist.
Even when he's obviously losing, he's still clowning around, but this time hes tired from his own shenanigans
No player likes to play in Chinese tournaments, many of the players only play there because of the show bonus.
That's why you always see so many upsets there, especially during the first couple of weeks.
I guess Nick was just one of the players that just want to grab the bonus and head home.
Why are Chinese tournaments not liked by players? I'm not in the loop on that one.
@@hehehehehahahaha2025 Well, I think it is a schedule thing. They are played late season, and the ATP Tour is a freaking grind, and not all players are mentally tough enough to withstand it all. I think Kyrgios missed his family and friends. Just because you have a boat load of talent does not mean that you have a strong drive to be the best. While thousands of players wishes that they had Kyrgios' talent, he wishes that he had the motivation of others. It is very rare to see a strong combination of the two. Some extremely talented athletes would rather have a normal life away from the spotlights and fame, but their talents keep them in the game.
@@hehehehehahahaha2025
There are many reasons -
1. The tournament schedule - The tournaments are played in late season, and the schedule is usually very tight. Plus it's the season which it rains a lots, matches are often delayed, which makes the schedule even tighter.
2. The weather - Apart from the rain, wind, air pollution and temperature difference is also quite bad there. The wind can get pretty strong sometimes, and air pollution could affect how you breath. Temperature difference between day and night is also huge, so if a match was delayed from mid-day to evening, it'd deffo be a problem. All of the above can affect how a player performs.
3. The line judges - The line judges used to be very awful there. Though they have improved and there's hawkeye system now, it can still be quite annoying sometimes.
4. Corruption - I used to be tennis player in Taiwan, it's well known and often discussed between the players that the authorities in China often offer a bonus to players to lose the matches against local players. This way they can give the players a ranking boost, make local people feel proud, and increase the ticket sale. It's a well known screct that no one wants to talk about, because ATP/WTA needs the money, and players don't want to get into trouble by making it public. You can see that by seeing how fast they resumed back to play in China after Peng Shuai incident. It's also a hard choice for players, because they don't want to say yes, but if they say no, they're going to risk losing sponsorship from Chinese companies. That's why many players would rather just not play there at all.
@@MrClebophd He was talented but not as talented as the big 4...
@@v4v819 To me, talents are the things you cannot teach. Thus, I think the defensive specialists are less talented than the shot makers. I know that there are defensive talents, especially the return of serve, but grindy players like Mats Wilander and Lleyton Hewitt are more teachable because the mental part increases with experience. Shot making is much harder to teach, and first serve in particular.
Only rating the shot making play style
I'd put Kyrgios at Tier S in talent among Federer, Sampras, McEnroe, Becker, and Edberg. Kyrgios' lack of motivation was his downfall.
Rating defensive players
I'd put Borg, Agassi, Nadal, Djokovic and Wilander significantly more talented than Murray. Defensive players win by grinding down their opponents and making them miss. It is very efficient, and the changes of the surfaces, making the grass significantly slower has certainly helped them win tournaments.
So, being biased against defensive players, I'd put Kyrgios talents over Wilander, Hewitt, Murray etc. I mean, if Murray had Kyrgios first serve, then he'd win so many grand slams.
Me after buying a ticket to watch this guy: Never again!
He’s a joke
This match was borderline good.
absolute clown
He never said “poor” though, which is what triggered this entire meltdown 😂
I’ve gotta say in every one of these videos, Kyrgios does hit some of the most insane shots😂elite player with an elite tantrum
It’s a shame that krygios has the talent of a great star but the mental fortitude of a two year old
He gets p… off with the umpire for cutting his rhythm off, but he doesn’t realize how disruptive and unsportsmanlike he actually is for the opponent with all his talking during rallies, disrespectful mocking and attitude on court. Opponent could clearly complain about Kyrios clowning but he didn’t. That’s why most of people don’t consider Kyrios a tennis player but a clown.
