Kyrgios - magician or idiot?

[PaulP]

I like Nick and if he could just tone down some of what he does, he could be No. 1 and still not be a tennis robot.

I am not a fan of Federer and co, I think they all come out of the same BLAND factory.  But I don't like to see whinging and that negative behaviour out of Kyrgios, however his banter with that idiot in the crowd the other week that got the guy walked out, really amuses me.  He just needs a bit more class and he'd be loved, people love a bit of show and dazzle, but he takes it a bit far at times.  He just lets himself down at times, I hope he can pull it together.

I would much rather go watch a game he's involved in than Federer/Djokic/Nadal combined!  Yawn.

Human history is filled with sportspeople who fail to reach their potential. Kyrgios is talented enough to win a slam and be a regular fixture in the top 10. But in my view, it will never happen.

My view is very different to yours. I find him irritating rather than entertaining, and his regular acts of self sabotage are embarrassing to watch.

I'm a Nadal fan, and IMO Federer and Novak are at the opposite end of boring. Federer is brilliant to watch, and Novak's best tennis is, IMO, the best tennis that has ever been played.
