Just throwing it all away .  Malaysian Airlines have sacked him I just heard.
Such a shame a young bloke like Harry doesnt get the exposure this dud gets.   If he did , it would be all good press one suspects.


Pretty much says it all

Imagine how high he can go if he had the desire.

Just beaten Djokovic for the 2nd time in two weeks. Straight sets both times. Very likely he will be inside the top 10 some time this year.

It is all well and good beating Novak. It is backing it up in the next round and not losing to the likes of Sam Querry that is the problem.

Several top players lost to Querry that week. Probably the best week of his tennis career beating 3 top 10 players.
He will be up against Nadal or Federer tomorrow so simply backing up may not be enough but there is ample evidence he can win big tournaments.

Unfortunately he is very talented.

Still there is some good news, Tomic is losing 1st rounds everywhere Clap

Who cares about the spoilt prick?

... saw "The Joker" smash the gelati out of his raquet on the news too ... lost his sense of humor?

tennis - zero interest. Dead

Great fighting win against Goffin just then. No idea how he won the 1st set the bearing he was taking. Managed to pull out a break early in the 2nd and held to win in straight sets. Into the quarters of a 1000 event again.

Through to the semis after another tough win. Beat Alexander Zverev in 3 sets after being on top pretty much the whole match. Up against Federer tomorrow morning which will obviously be very tough. Think it might be a bridge too far but he's certainly shown what he is capable of this week in Miami & last week in Indian Wells.

Went down in 3 tiebreak sets this morning. Absolutely cracking match. Anyone who thinks he can't win a grand slam needs to watch a replay.

He has the ability to be anything. It is his tempermentv5hat has always been the issue. He looks very fit at the moment. Could make a decent run at the French, but I feel a great Wimbledon run could be well within reach this year.

Wasn't talking about the ability. Watch his matches this last month in Indian Wells & Miami. Has shown exactly what is required mentally. Has never been like that ever in his career to date.

The quicker both he & Tomic drop out of the game the better for the game in Australia. Carry on like spoilt brats for far too long. The newer bunch coming through seem to be much improved. About time

No one has any goodwill for these 2 blokes anymore. Will only get worse for them. Downward spiral. If they cant get up for a major in front of their home crowd they've got buckleys anywhere else.

Wasn’t beating Raonic anyway last night. Raonic went to another level from recent form. Serve was incredible.

Know a bloke over here, former tennis pro who’s still pretty plugged in to the world of Australian tennis. Hard marker, too- wouldn’t be the sort to damn anyone with faint praise. Anyway, according to him Kyrgios is a really nice guy. Reckons that he has such high expectations and puts so much pressure on himself that when things go wrong he can’t deal with it and more often than not just unravels.

You’d think with his resources it would be something he would have addressed by now but apparently not. Shame, times running out for him.

Our Nick beats Nadal again in best of 3 at Acapulco. If grand slams were best of 3 he would win a few.
