Stosur vs Sheik 2015

It wasn't on court but he reacted very poorly to some valid, constructive criticism just a couple of days ago.

It's good that he does charity work and I would hope that all folk in his situation do the same.  However, doing charity work does not entitle one to behave like a tool. 

Perhaps it's the nature of the sport but tennis seems to have more than its share of tools ... as well as some very humble and generous elite athletes.

Raonic has smashed better players than Kyrgios at this very tournament, and whilst he has things he can improve on, he didnt exactly do a Zverev (who was seeded unlike Kyrgios).

Yep, his preparation wasn't as good as it could have been, and Kyrgios may admit that himself if he were asked, but then we have some anecdotal criticism comparing him to other players on the circuit, rather than comparing himself, to himself.  The measure of a human being isnt how they go compared to others, but rather how willing they are to improve themselves.

He's set his sights on reaching the top 10 at the end of next year after admitting he battled with some mental health demons.

Probably time for the Aussie media and public to ease up on Kyrgios as his opponent who beat him convincingly but not easily (dropping two service games, and a tie break to lose in straight sets is not uncompetitive) and give him a pass for the rest of this year.

The flogs usually don't care too much about helping others and charities.  Some of them are very egotistical and I think Kyrgios is simply an immature young man who has had some growing up to do.

They can't all be mature youngsters, and they will blow up from time to time because even the pro's have had their moments.
