Ugh, the two worst tennis players are playing each other.......Kyrgios vs Tsitsipas

[tishaLA]

5. Weirdly Kyrgios wasn't the worst-behaved player on court today

Tsitsipas should have been defaulted. I was watching the BBC coverage where they were having hemorrhages over Nick's behavior (and yes, some of it is atrocious), but Tsitsipas let Nick get into his head and became completely unhinged.

I do think that Kyrgios is immensely talented and would have been a top player the past 5 or so years were it not for how crazy/self-destructive he is. I also think he's good for the sport because villains get eyeballs and tennis needs more eyeballs, especially in the US where we seem to have a fondness for boorishness--McEnroe clucking about how disrespectful to the game Nick is has to be one of the most absurd things ever considering people said precisely the same thing about Conners, Nastase, and him.
