Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis have taken the Australian Open by storm with their remarkable run to the men's doubles semifinals, but Kyrgios's brash showmanship has not pleased everyone.Michael Venus has slammed Nick Kyrgios's behaviour in the aftermath of their doubles match on Tuesday
Venus described Kyrgios as an "amazing" talent but believed the outspoken Canberran would never reach great heights in singles. After wowing crowds on John Cain and Kia Arena for their opening three matches, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis will be thrust onto Rod Laver Arena for In an almost unprecedented move, TV broadcasters have been opting to telecast the wild atmosphere of their doubles matches instead of blockbuster singles contests involving the likes of the legendary Rafael Nadal.
Congratulations to the Aussie boys on winning.
Who?
excellent tennis
Probably the most marketable tennis player at the moment. I remember Kournikova never won much, but was most marketable. Nicky babes is doing good👍
Who the fk is Michael Venus?
It’s not always about winning… sometimes it’s just about having some fun and enjoying yourself
There are some who might suggest that on his first full day employed as a journalist, Michael Venus had reached his potential as a journalist.
Kyrgios is an attention seeker. I think he has mental health problems.
Yup, they beat you, you sad and angry, go sit and be quiet. speacialK
I don't particularly lol me Nick K but when he chooses to play he's bloody good. These 2 pairing up us good for tennis. The yobbo dickheads in the crowd aren't a great look for Australia but neither are the fanatics and their dribble.
He may never reach his full potential, but he beat you Mr Venus and the two K'S have actually made doubles exciting. Who cared about the doubles before they came along.
Who TF is Michael Venus!
Who the fck is Michael Venus?
The unpredictable case of Nick Kyrgios. One day he is the bad boy of tennis, next day he is Australia's darling. A dream come true for all media platforms. He knows how to play tennis and the media.
. . 100% Kyrios is indeed a dck. Kyrios will never reach his potential. And non-tennis spectators in Melbourne who watch tennis because there's no footy in summer absolutely love him! . .
For context Michael Venus is 34 with $3.4M in prize money and Kyrgios is 26 with ~$9M prize money and 6 wins against the fabled big 3... Walk the walk Mr. Man....
NickKyrgios will probly have better mental health enjoying tennis rather than aiming for world 1. If Nick decides he wants to see how far he can go it's his choice. But he'd need a fitness coach & a Tony Roche. Doubles is good money anyway
Wonder if we could make up a rhyme about kiwi great (but almost entirely unknown) Michael Venus. U cannot make this shit up
Michael Venus slams Nick Kyrgios after losing to Nick Kyrgios. There, headline fixed.
🙄 potential for doing estupid things
It’s true 👍🏻
NK knows he is no match to the ‘big 3’. To be a single champion, it takes a lot more than personality and potentials. At the same time, ‘2K’ has been fantastic to watch as underdogs blasted through this Open. As a sport, it needs both aspects, champion and fan’s champion!
Who’s Michael Venus?
Only Boomers don’t like Kyrgios
Spot on take
Completely agree. He disrespects his talent, the game, and other players. He's a deadbeat and attracts deadbeats.
I agree he lacks maturity and I also think he’s a knob, but It’s just a game, Kyrgios knows that, and if he places showmanship above winning, that’s his choice 🤷🏼♀️
KYRIOS needs to be a showman that is why he is enjoying it!! Not disciplined enough to win a singles title !! Keep enjoying what your doing 2 K's!!🤔🤩🥳
Someone sounds Jealous 🤣
Michael who?
Pfft. Sounds like sour grapes to me.
Nick is too scared of failure to ever achieve his best unfortunately
harsh but true
Atacking character is very low brow.
How did Nick put it the other day. Oh yeah “enjoy your flight home”
So who is Michael Venus exactly? Oh that rights, a nobody from NZ.
Who cares what he does with his talent! It’s his life & he’s already made enough $’s he could retire well. He looks like he’s having a great time, crowds are attending doubles matches & people are feeling good. After a few years of blergh times, maybe see the silver lining?
Nailed it
What is it with Australia's need to put down anyone that's got a modicum personality, confidence and verve? It takes all types to make up the world 🌎 and these boys are making tennis fun. What's wrong with that?
Kyrgios has never aspired to win a major. He just wants to enjoy playing. And he is. Please define ‘potential’. If he was your child and happy would you criticise them for not reaching their ‘potential’?
he’s not wrong. Kyrgios is a good tennis player, but an immature brat who puts no effort into his training He could, according to most commentators & players, be one of the best in the world if he took it seriously He’s the definition of wasted potential
Nothing but tall poppy syndrome from a passenger who couldn’t hack the pressure of the spotlight or moment. Had no issues yelling back at Kyrgios. Should be more comfortable back home playing in front of two men and a few sheep. Sink back into nothingness, champ. wilsonmate11
There’s definitely some sense in being sensitive and sensible.
Sorry, Venus message this from the flight home? What a shit article.
He said what everyone thinks
Ahhh that old chestnut.. if he is happiest being ranked in the 30s.. let him.. his life.. sorry to disappoint you
someone's a sore loser
A deep misunderstanding of why Kyrgios is there and his motivations.
This is 100% correct. One of the most talented players on the tour but more interested in showtime than winning.
Lol who the fuck is Michael Venus
A mental weakness can be a bigger problem than a physical weakness. Dylan Alcott is a world champion in his sport and a champion human being. Nick Kyrgios is just a big child. I refuse to watch him play.
Would never had done well at basketball either. He’s not a team player.
