Nick Kyrgios Attracting Attention for All the Wrong Reasons

Nick Kyrgios had another attention-raising performance in the early half of 2015 Rogers Cup competition. Unfortunately, it’s another tempestuous pattern that he has shown as he strives to be a tennis champion.

In the span of roughly 24 hours, Kyrgios picked up another monster win by defeating No. 3 seed Stan Wawrinka. During the match, however, he made a classless comment to his opponent that ultimately drew a fine from the ATP. After the fine, Kyrgios apologized. The next day, he went out and lost in straight sets to John Isner.

Whatever judgments are made about his character, ranging from immature to overly brash, once again the discussion about this young, talented Aussie is not so much on what he needs to do to control his forehand or hone his baseline strategies.

That’s the real tragedy thus far, because many tennis fans are excited about his potential as a champion.



 

Madrid, Wimbledon and Tennis Australia

Teenage Kyrgios jumped onto tennis’ radar during Wimbledon 2014 with a remarkable five-set victory over Richard Gasquet and a stunning victory over world No. 1 Rafael Nadal. Since, he’s been scrutinized for what he does off the court, but more importantly for his career, he’s been inconsistent on the court.

The Kyrgios pattern was also apparent at Madrid a few months ago. Then, he scored a huge win over world No. 2 Roger Federer, only to lose his next match to John Isner.

At Wimbledon, Kyrgios upset No. 7 seed Milos Raonic, but the veteran Gasquet completely outplayed him in the next match. The big takeaway for many was his boorish behavior toward the chair umpire.

After Wimbledon, he made comments about Tennis Australia’s director of performance, Patrick Rafter, that could have undermined their team’s Davis Cup quarterfinals win. Just Nick being Nick?
