From a morality / social justice perspective, it might also have some currency.
But then, if Djoker won that is probably a spit in the face of social justice as well! I'm sure he'll use a win to justify his political position on vaccines and unrestrained freedoms for the separatist elite.
If Tomic cruised into a Grand Slam got some lucky breaks and made the final is he also deserving of success?
btw., I quite like watching Tennis with Kyrgios, but I admit I'm not a big tennis fan. However, I watched a bit of the girls final last night and the absence of grunting was heart warming, I could actually watch it! I also watched tennis when the likes of McEnroe, Connors or Lendl were piling on the animosity towards officials and opponents. I liked the theatre, and I side with Kyrgios when you hear them criticising Kyrgios' behaviour.
