For good or bad, there is always something going on with Nick Kyrgios. The hot Australian is a showman, whether on or off the court. For his debut in Melbourne, the native of Canberra did not take long to shine. The match had started five short minutes ago, and he was leading 40-0 on his face-off when the 115th player in the world, a follower of underhand services, attempted – and succeeded – a come from another world.
A “tweener” spoon, that is to say between the legs! Surprised by the gesture and the effect of the ball, Broady sent his return behind the baseline…
The Australian “Benoit Paire” is a confusing character. Who likes to go against the majority opinion. He has proven it again in recent days by defending Novak Djokovic when he has always attacked the man and the player.
« Hawke (Editor’s note: the Australian Minister for Immigration) says he’s a threat to our borders, we treat him like a weapon of mass destruction. But he is not. He’s there to play tennis, he’s not hurting anyone, he said last week. It drives me crazy, it really drives me crazy to hear Nadal or Tsitsipas. OK, I understand that they have to answer when you ask them the question and everyone has their opinion, that’s fine. But I have the feeling that they treat him like Novak Djokovic, not like a human being. Where’s your support for this guy? »
After the meeting against Broady, quietly won in three sets, Kyrgios once again stood out by drinking a sip of beer from the plastic glass held out by a fan. Difficult to find less barrier gesture than this one.
