It is his personality, public comments, behaviour, occasional lack of effort and waste of talent that turns me off and I suspect that applies to many tennis fans, not just Aussies.I reckon it has a hell of a lot to do with it TBH. Don't you find it a little odd that the media go after those who's names happen to be Kyrgios, Kokkinakis and Tomic? I for one certainly think its "odd" as opposed to coincidence. Tomic has issues, lets just say he doesnt come across as the sharpest tool in the shed. He says inappropriate things at inappropriate times, isn't managed or mentored properly and his actions and words sell papers. NK just gets pounded no matter what he does, he reacts and it sells papers. TK doesnt say much but gets injured alot so they right negative stuff about him...to sell papers. The media have now created this group of three outcasts all tarred with same brush. It sells papers.
Lets face it, Hewitt was a DH when he was young. But he tried his guts out so he was given a "leave pass".
Good lord I'm sounding like LP
