I don't think NK is a flog at all. He is just a different beast he does things his way. He is comfortable in his own skin, perhaps people need to ignore the media and just accept him the way he is. Tennis isnt the end all be all for him, get over it.
I don't think Kyrgios is comfortable in his own skin G2C. In fact, I'm not sure that he knows where his skin is at :-\
There are times when his tennis is sublime and his behaviour impeccable ... then there are times when he appears not to give a fat rat's clacker and his behaviour is appalling, eg the "Kokkinakos banged your girlfriend" comment and his over the top reaction to perfectly reasonable and measured comments from Healy and Rasheed - and the latter has forgotten more about elite tennis than Kyrgios has yet to master.
Off on a tangent here but my son recently had a session with Nathan Burke in which the latter spoke about a meeting with Tennis Australia's elite program. Burke took them to task, pointing out that, with the exception of Ash Barty, Australia doesn't have any tennis players.
I'm not sure who is at fault - Tomic and Kyrgios have to accept some of the blame - but family, friends, coaches, mentors and Tennis Australia are complicit.
I can't help but imagine Kyrgios at my age and thinking, "Well, I stuffed that up!"
