Lol all I meant was sometimes it takes these young talents before they "get it". Federer used to smash his raquet all the time when he was younger and after going out in Wimbledon in the first round for 2 years in a row I'm sure the sports writers at the time were calling him a choker after. If you went back to 2000 and told everyone Federer would become the greatest ever they would have laughed at you. Clearly we know how Fed turned out, I'm not comparing Kyrgios to Federer in 2017 but to 2000's Federer. We don't know how Kyrgios will turn out yet its still too early. He can give you brilliance at times but he can give you first round exit at times as well. Also Novak used to always retire in matches and all his peers hated him. Federer fought with him and hated him (probably still does) and Roddick wanted to physically fight him in the locker room. Novak was so cocky, when he retired in a match at the French Open against Nadal when he was was down 2 sets to love, he told the press he had Nadal right where he wanted him and when the press told Nadal what Novak said Nadal thought it was mistranslated he was so confused. Would you have guessed that he would turn it around and hold all 4 majors at the same time and win 12 majors so far in his career? I'm not holding my breathe but its far too early to write him off completely.
Anywhoo great win by Shap stick has a real chance to go far only real land mine is Cilic or Querry IMO
