MIKE DICKSON: Is Nick Kyrgios an 'evil bully' who shames the game or a misunderstood tennis outcast?

Daily Mail  

This fortnight has been a journey within a journey for Nick Kyrgios, the man who could start a row in an empty house. Kyrgios won the Australian Open doubles final with his good friend Thanasi Kokkinakis Staying in the event for two weeks demonstrated to him the kind of self-denial that a Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray would simply take for granted. ‘I think that doubles in Australia really helped me at Grand Slam level,’ said Kyrgios. Even at a doubles Grand Slam you do really need to just get your stuff done quickly and clinically, then rest.’ A minor detail is that, en route to the title, Kyrgios was described as ‘an absolute knob’ by one of his opponents, New Zealand’s Michael Venus, after an altercation. Labelled an ‘evil bully’ by his defeated third round opponent Stefanos Tsitsipas, it can be argued his excesses shame the game and tarnish the clean-cut image it likes to promote, most successfully in the form of leading icons Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
