As far as I am concerned, professional tennis hasn’t really been all that great to watch ever since John McEnroe basically retired from the ATP tour in 1995.
However, these days Australian bad boy Nick Kyrgios is doing his best to make tennis great again.
No, I am not referring to his play. The 24-year-old Kyrgios is a decent enough player – he’s been ranked as high as 13th and is currently 27th – I am talking about his behavior both on and off the court.
For instance…
Earlier this year, Kyrgios embarrassed a trash-talking fan in front of the girl he was with.
In 2018, he was fined $17,500 for performing a sex act with his water bottle on the court.
In 2017, the father of tennis star Chelsea Samways wanted to “knock out” Kyrgios for partying with his daughter.

And in 2015, Kyrgios verbally abused his opponent Stan Wawrinka by telling him another tennis player banged his girlfriend mid-match.
Oh yeah, he’s also tight with Genie Bouchard and especially her twin sister Beatrice.
So, as you can see, bro is entertaining AF in a sport where there aren’t very many entertainers these days.
Kyrgios’ latest awesome bit of misbehavior took place this past weekend during a match against Roger Federer in the Laver Cup.
After taking the early lead in the match, winning the first set 7-6, Kyrgios began to struggle.
After being blanked 40-0 by Federer, Kyrgios headed to the team’s bench and told Team World coach John McEnroe and his teammates, “I lost concentration, I saw a really hot chick in the crowd. Like, I’m being genuinely honest. I’d marry her right now. Right now.”
“I lost concentration, I saw a really hot chick in the crowd. Like, I’m being jarringly honest — I’d marry her right now. Right now.”

Reactions to this bit of news from those watching the match was … mixed.
I never want to miss a moment of his play. He’s the Happy Gilmore of Tennis and I think there’s a place for that in this world!
