Kyrgios won in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 in front of a sold out crowd at Coco-Cola Arena.

Good on Nick.
I'm always baffled at the hate for Kygrios and now Konstas in the cricket. Are Aussies still racists to Greeks? Guns at their sports.

Best of 3 sets is definitely his go. Always has been. Pity he's not a sheila. He's a pure sprinter in a world where all the big races are run over a mile. Or maybe he's just a lazy bugger who doesn't train as hard as the others.

Nick Kyrgios torched as battle of the sexes with Aryna Sabalenka turns into farce | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site for latest headlines
“This entire match was based on delusion.” Leading UK sport columnist Oliver Holt also posted: “Sabalenka-Kyrgios - the most, dispiriting, badly-staged, exploitative, lifeless, mishandled, ill-judged, half-arsed bit of sport I’ve watched for some time. |

Exactly. Kyrgios is just an embarrassing dolt. Most Aussies like their Greek neighbours. |

We all know men are stronger than women in most physical sports. Riggs was 54 when he beat MC, who was twenty years his junior. BJK was then trotted out to beat the old loud-mouth. It proved nothing. |

Margaret would have probably beaten Riggs except, as usual, her nerves got the better of her.

As usual, apart from when nerves didn't get the better of her and she won 192 titles.

Tlaz...I am Margaret's biggest fan (when she was playing tennis). Even she admitted she lost matches she shouldn't have...BECAUSE OF NERVES.
BJK also suffered from nerves...which is why Margaret could often beat her. |

Yes, tennis legend Margaret Court did suffer significantly from nerves throughout her career. She had a "constant battle with nerves," which was a well-known aspect of her playing career. < jsuid="Ruaqob_d" ="0" -amic="true" -icl-uuid="552998fa-7e35-4ff6-a3dc-2a2983841264" aria-label="View related s" ="rBl3me" js="click:&Ruaqob_b|S9kKve;mouseenter:&Ruaqob_b|sbHm2b;mouseleave:&Ruaqob_b|Tx5Rb" -wiz-attrbind="=Ruaqob_b/C5gNJc;=Ruaqob_b/UpSNec;" -ved="2ahUKEwjb8u2Q1-GRAxWDUWwGHal4O-QQye0OegQIARAB" style="margin: 0px 6px 0px 0px; : none 0% 0% / auto repeat scroll padding- border- rgb229, 237, 255; border-width: initial; border-style: none; border-color: initial; border-radius: 10px; height: 20px; padding: 0px; width: 28px; : relative; outline: 0px; cursor: pointer;">http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24">

I suffered through all those damn nervous matches, with her.
Playing with men in mixed doubles is vastly different to playing against one in singles.

For some time being since a week ago with Joshua v Paul.

I can see why Kyrgios did it. He's a washed up former tennis player with not many options going forward. I can't see why Sabalenka did it. It's probably taken more off her marketing value than what she made playing Kyrgios.

Wrong way round IMO - you'd have to be Greek to like him.
And/ or equally obnoxious.
