He managed to rebound in the final set but lost 10-8. The Melbourne fans booed him off the court and this morning the media is ripping him a new one.
So much talent but such an idiot.

Wow, haha. Do tennis players ever get suspensions? Seems like this guy has earned one

He was already suspended and fined for not giving a full effort, unsportsmanlike conduct, and verbal abuse of a spectator at the Shanghai Masters in October.

I wonder if him giving up in the 4th set last night will warrant another suspension and/or fine.

Djokovic and Istomin with a 16 minute game to start their match. Novak being Novak, rest of the set might be 16 minutes.

Man, Milos has some unreal power when he lets it fly. 3 aces in the last game, Muller barely moved. Milos takes the first set 6-3.

I'm watching Djokovic-Istomin because I expect Milos to roll. Istomin is playing really well and gettting some luck, 19 winners in 7 games and up a break. Obviously can't expect him to keep it up, but taking a set would at least make things interesting.

Nice! A big break near the end of the 2nd set, Milos takes it 6-4.

What a set, an hour and 25 minutes but Istomin wins it 10-8 in the breaker.

Kyrgios has just been fined $7000. I think he got off easy. Also John McEnroe has weighed in:
Quote:
Even I’m at a loss for words. Overall I would call it a damn shame because I think he’s the most talented guy in the world 21 and under — maybe even at 29 and under. He could be the best player in the world, but mentally he’s No. 200 in the world, and I think at critical moments it showed. It’s OK to show your emotions, and I’d like to see that in a one-on-one game when you’re out there by yourself, but when he goes through those periods when he’s not competing, then it’s just a black eye for the sport. And it’s a black eye for him.
|
Also, Kyrgios doesn't have a coach and barely does any tennis training!

Istomin with two set points for two set lead, but Novak's serve comes through. 5-5.

My goodness has Milos ever grown.
Member when he couldn't return a serve or go up to the net. This Milos is going to win (if he can stay healthy) a Major.

Istomin sends it to five. Unless Novak blows him out (or vice versa), this will be a 5 hour match at a minimum. Not liking my chances of making it to the end lol.
