He's a coward who hides behind his tennis talent and plays the victim card. Just another wasted talent. I think he'd be happy to be the biggest wasted talent for now.

      Unsportsmanlike??? Did you not see the ace he was awarded, and then HE told his opponent to challenge, and he was right, his serve was actually OUT. How is this an unsportsmanlike person? You might not like how he behaves, but in terms of his own fairness towards his fellow players, Nick does not cheat. If you look at his ongoing conversation with the umpire, this stems from his own feelings of unfair treatment from the umpire. Fair treatment for ALL, not just himself, but his opponents, is very much on Nicks mind. And when he sees something he disagrees with, he's not shy about calling it out.

There are a LOT of players who are aware that officials make a mistake, but if the mistake goes in THEIR favour, they shut up, or pretend like they dint know whats happening. Look at Jack Draper and his recent shot that went into the ground first and bounced over.

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.

    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.

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.

      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.

    As volatile as Nick is in this match, there's still some stunning shotmaking from him! And let's forget that Bradley Klahn's potential was curtailed by two back surgeries and his playing is quite impressive here.

    He is fun to watch, he is relax and regardless of his behavior in the court. He is himself and I admire that he express what he is feeling, even if that makes the referees uncomfortable! but this actually allow him to play more relax and get his level higher. It is a very interesting strategy
