Nick Kyrgios is Still the Best at Being a Bully, a Victim, and a Self-Righteous Twat At The Same Time
Which is a shame because his tennis is out of this world
First things first: I’m a fan of Nick Kyrgios’s tennis. I believe he has at least two Grand Slam victory in him, but he’ll probably never win one because of his mindset. Last night I was rooting for him, and I was glad he won the third round against Stefanos Tsitsipas. This year’s Wimbledon is a big chance for him to run deep, and he knows it.
But this isn’t about that. This is about being a disrespectful, manipulative, irresponsible, and self-righteous bully of the worst kind.
As tennis lovers, we all know how Nick is — arrogant, smug, insufferable — but his post-match press conference really sickened me this time (even though I usually enjoy how he often humiliates stupid-ass reporters). But his refusal to take responsibility for his actions and always put the blame on someone else was infuriating.
