"It was absolute mayhem," he told BBC radio on Sunday.
"Tsitsipas would make a line call and [Kyrgios] would go up there and start complaining, he'd be in his face. That's part of gamesmanship, that's the sort of stuff he does and I think there's a limit. "As it was, the umpire lost control. The ball kids were running across the court as Kyrgios was serving. He didn't slow down for any of that stuff.
Three-time Australian Open champion Mats Wilander was also in attendance and spoke to Eurosport about Kyrgios's behaviour."I'm not sure I want to see something like that again, to be honest, because I don't think this is what we want to promote in tennis.
I was a wide eyed young fella watching therealPatCash warm up on a practice court at Memorial Drive in SA when he said to his hitting partner ‘I can’t wait to finish this shit so I can get to the pub’. I wanted to be like him but he didn’t want to be there. Shattered me
Pat cash is irrelevant
It’s uncomfortable watching Kyrgios play. His showboating and lack of sportsmanship on court is dreadful. Polar opposite to the professionalism of Barty.
not surprise...'
Everyone has an opinion about NickKyrgios so maybe we should just stop asking so many people for one.
Nick is Nick. I like the guy.
Correct
Cash save your breath he ain’t worth shit
NK Not Kool!
Pat who?
Yawn
Who’s Pat Cash?
Great how past Aussie players like giving it to one of their own… absolutely fkd
NK knows exactly what he's doing. His behavior puts off his opponent. Dudes got so much talent he really doesn't need to be a wally. His behavior at times is borderline abusive. Officials need to apply same standard of ruling to everyone, including Nick.
Go Kubler!
Totally disagree with Pat Cash, his comments are totally unfair to Kyrgios who played a great match. Go well tonight Nick.
And a bully, trying to intimidate chair umpires.
Is he for real? Medvedev was 100 worse at the Aus Open final BBC commentator first, not an Australian
A Pat Cash lecture on behaviour. Yeah righto. 😂👍🏻
Nick does go on sometimes, sometimes he needs to..The Greek smacked someone in the back of the head with a ricochet ball ... that needed a comment from the ref...
Thought Cash was dead ! Must’ve woken up from hibernation!
Enjoy Nick as long as you can,cause time at the top doesn’t last long. If we were all the same personality,most of us would be inessential. He is his own man.👏👏Would have loved to have been courtside.
Trump 2024!
TheRealPatCash sounds a bit holier than thou and btw didn’t hear anything from you when this was happening at the Australian open & it’s far worse than NK at Wimbledon
Definitely not a good example very self opinionated man is Nick To show a little bit of humility would be nice
lets remind Cash about...Cash, and McEnroe, Connors, Nastase, Tsitsipas, Paire etc etc
I honorer you Pat Cash, in the last somebody well know and important sport man from Australia take the courage to speak out about this abuser and rude and uncivilized and do not have any respect for anything.
What…a cheating, manipulative, abusive Australian sportsman….never heard of one…
Comments by Cash,McEnroe & Kyrgios on gamesmanship NOW that is surely an OXYMORON 🤷♂️😂😂😂😂
Onya Pat 😆
Agreed , he brings tennis into disrepute…his behaviour might well be entertaining but for all the wrong reasons.
ABSOLUTE TOSSER.
Did Tsisipas get a penalty for whacking a ball to the sideline? Can you imagine if Kyrgios did that? Like him more or less, he is not in the wrong.
Hahahaha nah
Pat has-been !
Pat who?
Definitey brilliant for TV viewing. Aussies love Kgyrios.
Well said Pat Cash. Couldn’t agree more. It’s not good for tennis. Kyrgios isn’t good for tennis
Spot on Pat Cash!!
Unlike players up to the 1970's these so called 'professionals' start their careers as young teenagers, they have little post secondary education and spend most of their time apart from everyday society. Most conduct themselves with some humility others remain street punks.
Correcto
Shouldn't a sportsperson that trains at government sports facilities and belongs to Australian teams have a code of conduct that is honourable and in line with community standards.
A white, whinging ex-tennis player gets a shoe into NickKyrgios via abcsport - deliberate pettiness and underhanded prejudice from our public broadcaster yet again.
Pat Cash is irrelevant
Who cares what an anti vaxxer anti covid ranter thinks? Pat Cash lost my respect when he didn't believe in the science. Joined the Trump brigade and took a horse medicine to treat his covid.
Kyrgios should just leave Australia and go to his island and leave the world of tennis in peace. He has been blasted by so many commentators and he is absolutely NOT a role model.
Cash would be the thickest tennis player we have ever produced, if it wasn't for Philippoussis.
He tried to play the race card but everyone laughed.
He is using every advantage possible . So let him go
That's a nob calling a nob a nob.
Smashing balls at spectators and your opponent is bad sportsmanship & bullying. No excuse for that kind of behaviour. Kat Cash should be extending his condemnation to that other player.
I think krygios is a bit of a dick but that he is so good at triggering the worst people amuses me, so I kind of like him
Cash even has a problem with Rafa and Roger. Cash has become an angry oldman and it's not interesting hearing him complain or in general talk about current players.
Is this comment for cash?
Cash is right, Kyrgios just a tennis thug.
LOL actually watch the match to report please.
He wasn't above being a dickhead on court and in the press conference in his day.
I wonder if Nick was white if there would be so much backlash.
Sounds like the Greek player was the villain here
Just take a breath and give this kid some respect, then you can expect some back. He has the rubish press on his back.
Hmmm - amazing how little focus there is on Tsitsipas hitting a ball into the crowd and deliberately trying to hit Kyrgios with a ball. Tennis too often downplays physical violence by some players
Isn’t pat cash an antivaxxer? Not sure we should be listening to the guy who promotes ivermectin
Didnt really ask for his opinion but here we are.
PatCash may have had too much de-wormer. McEnroe et al were no different to Kyrgios ... it's been happening for years and its very entertaining.
Pat who?
No one cares what Pat Cash thinks.
It’s not entertaining, it’s not classy, and it’s a shame that such talent is so wasted on nastiness, hysteria, bullying and sullenness. I miss Barty 😢
Even in one of his finest hours, Nick has to be portrayed as the bad guy. They'll never stop coming for him. They'll never let him go. Who exactly is the bully again?
Who cares what Cash thinks
1987 called. It wants Pat back
The same Pat Cash celebrating Ivermectin taking it for 15 months?
