Kyrgios

This guy's not your run of the mill tennis player. I'm torn between admiring his originality (eg serving underarm) and shaking my head at the way he fails to make the most of his talent.

Certainly very unusual for a guy on the circuit to put the boot into other players so publicly, although I agree wholeheartedly with what he says about Djokovic:

He’s a grade A cock IMHO.

Difficult to argue with that to be honest. :greengrin

Yeh, I've always assumed he had a screw loose. A bit of a tennis version of Ronnie O'Sullivan but without the titles to back up his talent. However, I was surprised to see Judy Murray (whom I respect a lot) describe him as a genius a few weeks back and Andy Murray, who doesn't hand out praise where it's not merited, has often had good things to say about him.

He’s best pals with Andy, which I find odd.
