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.
Kyrgios claimed that he did nothing wrong. Thus he didn’t think he should apologize to his opponent, Stefanos Tsitsipas, or anyone else. Then he further stated that he’s getting fined for talking trash — as he always is — so there’s no need to apologize. He’s literally paying for it, so it’s all good. Because that’s how things work in Nick’s mind. If you do something disrespectful and stupid, you only say sorry if nobody makes you pay for it. Right?
If you watched the game, you know that Kyrgios couldn’t shut up for most of the match. He kept talking and talking ridiculous nonsense to the umpire, the line judges, the crowd, and the supervisor. Anyone who showed the tiniest interest in listening to him — not because they wanted to, but because they had to. At one point, he stated that he won’t continue playing until Tsitsipas gets defaulted for hitting the ball into the crowd — even though he was winning. He’s come back from a set down and went on to win the second and the third set. Yet he was filled…
