The Story: I was looking at what Pat .. @happypat ..was posting and she mentioned watching Wimbledon where this guy, Nick Kyrgios was called the 'Bad Guy' was creating drama. I was watching a replay at this time - 12 hours later and all of a sudden this game came on! I have to say that he earned that bad guy name but he had tennis brilliance.
I took this photo during the game.
Thankful for:
Watching old movies as well as on the spot Sports....eg. Bergerac!
Amazing clarity considering it is a screen shot where usually you find many distractions, including reflections of all sorts. I don't follow tennis and the guy is new to me.
@onewing@maggiemae except that his behaviour is over the top, I prefer to watch the players that have a personality over the robotic, boring ones like Djokovic, Sampras or Lendl
I Agree with @rensala it looks like you were actually at the match. Excellent photo in that regard. Years ago the United States had a player with a similar bad reputation. I believe his name is John McEnroe
He is a big draw with the crowd maggie…they love watching his antics… cheering him on which is bad really but they love the excitement of this gifted demonised player…he thinks he’s being perfectly reasonable!
@grammyn John McEnroe commentates at Wimbledon every year now & is the perfect gentleman……’you cannot be serious?’
They all grow up eventually!
@happypat I don’t follow tennis so I didn’t know that. I just remember hearing about him and his childish antics. Nice to know everyone grows up eventually I guess.
Yes, John McEnroe was the bad boy in his time. IIie Nastase before him...aka Nasty. There is always someone to show bad behavior :)
I couldn't stand McEnroe as a player but like him as a commentator. My dad played tennis so I watched matches back to Stan Smith, Kenny Rosewall, Rod Laver and more...1960's & 1970's to today! Go Novak Djokovic...!
