I have missed the Sheik's Stosur spray this time round but the Aussies seem to be doing OK.

I'm not a great tennis watcher but I don't mind a close game ... or a one-sided game when one of the young Aussies is doing well and it was great to see Ash Barty win again after her brief flirtation with cricket.  She seems to have settled down to life as a tennis professional.

One thing that struck me about Bernard Tomic's game tonight was that his opponent, Victor Estrella Burgos, had run one kilometre more than Bernard before they got to the fourth set tiebreaker.  That's an incredible difference for a game played on a small court.  Tomic seems to be a master at conserving energy.

Kyrios is a lazy fatar5e flog who bullied his way in to tennis off the back of a tricky serve and not much else.

The people paying to watch him are nothing for the 50c voyeurs justifying their pathetic existence as sports lovers. Kyrios is the modern equivalent of the Elephant Man Freak Show from the late 19th century. I expect they are the same people who roll up to car crashes, train wrecks and bush fires to take a selfie. If they had any dignity they would have left the arena shouting for a refund on the way out!

Somebody needs to tell Kyrios success doesn't come wrapped up like a souvlaki, he deserves nothing and probably needs to be stripped of everything before he gets the message. He is making Jelena Dokic and her family look exceptionally rational!

What sort of sport breeds these parasites, tennis needs a good hard look at itself?

Not worth commenting on Kyrgios.

Tomic? Grossly unfit, laughable. 70 unforced errors......that's Stosuresque!!

Who coaches him/. All he needed to do was attack that guy's backhand, open up the court and it would have been all over in 75 minutes.

Both these guys are very problematic, albeit talented.

Did anyone watch the fast 40 thing the other week - Tomic was playing Thiem. Tomic was stuffed after two games! (albeit he won that particular match)

Has there ever been an Aussie sportsman in history as disliked as Kyrios.

I reckon the majority of fans after watching the tool unravel in set 3 wanted Seppi to win it.

All this crap he could be No 1 makes me laugh. Ability is an important component but to be the best of the best mental toughness, preparation and dire commitment are all quantities this flog would not make the top 200 in.

Majority of Aussie's work hard to make an honest living so watching this wanker make a ton of money with that attitude makes watching him lose so bloody enjoyable.

Really hope he gives it away before he is fully set up financially. Seemed an injustice for some one with his lack of respect, lack of care, and gutter attitude earns the sort of money most honest citizens can only dream of earning. 

Thanks Seppi for making my night.

Interesting shawny.

Do you not believe that some people can learn from their mistakes, and that some people just take longer to learn from them?

Hypothetical scenario (im reminded of Tomic's 21st strippers at this point) if he does transform himself into a professional, and finds that desire (I think that all people have a strong desire that is beaten out of them by modern society and convenience) would you be similarly begrudging of him??

Or is there no way for him to win respect off you?

So, reading between the lines, can I assume you're not entirely impressed with Kyrios...    (Ps I totally agree).

A piece of crape who wastes Federal government funding comes to mind!

The thing is perhaps it's true and he can be great, but it's clear to me someone needs to sit him on his ar5e before that happens because he is burning his opportunity. Spoiled brat also comes to mind, rewarded for tantrums as a kid no doubt!

Cut his funding, let him go and play for another country, maybe he'll wake up to himself. Go and play for one of the old European eastern block states that will put a bullet in the back of his head if he wastes their time and money!

Tennis needs to send a message that this stuff going down on court is totally unacceptable. If they don't the Feds should cut their funding!

Kyrgios can go and get a coaching job with the Kardashians, he'd fit right in!

Finally on Kyrgios, I find it slightly hypocritical that posters here will openly lambaste the likes of Garlett, Robinson and Fev for mostly off-field incidents, while forgiving Kyrgios for stuff that happens in the heat of battle.

I haven't given up on Kyrgios. If he gets a tough coach and is able to cope with being coached 24/7, he could achieve his potential.
