Those were his results from the past 21 Grand Slam tournaments he played in. He can't beat anyone good is the main point of that article.
So lets see how the bball superstar did in 2018 in all his matches.
He beat THREE players seeded higher than him all 2018! and they weren't even great players.
(17)Kyrgios d. (15)Jo Wilfried Tsonga [FRA] Aus Open
(4)Kyrgios d. (8)Feliciano Lopez [ESP] Stuttgart (on grass)
Kyrgios d. (7)Kyle Edmund [GBR] London
He crashed out twice in the 1st round to qualifiers
73 Cameron Norrie [GBR] d. (2)Kyrgios Atlanta
Q)Bradley Klahn [USA] d. Kyrgios Shanghai
and ended up losing every single match to a better player.
(3)Grigor Dimitrov [BUL] d. (17)Kyrgios
(4)Alexander Zverev [GER] d. (17)Kyrgios
Ivo Karlovic [CRO] d. (4)Kyrgios
(1)Roger Federer [SUI] d. (4)Kyrgios
(1)Marin Cilic [CRO] d. Kyrgios
(24)Kei Nishikori [JPN] d. (15)Kyrgios
WC)Stanislas Wawrinka [SUI] d. (16)Kyrgios
(4)Juan Martin Del Potro [ARG] d. (15)Kyrgios
(2)Roger Federer [SUI] d. (30)Kyrgios
Jeremy Chardy [FRA] d. (8)Kyrgios
I mean sure he is entertaining to some people. Just like how some people like Burrows biting fingers and Marchand licking people's faces and Kesler daydreaming about Backes' wife. Doesn't mean they are good for the sport.
and who could forget Kyprios's biggest impact on tennis in 2018! hahaha
He got an umpire suspended for 2 tournaments! what a jackass! haha

No one says you have to like the guy who is clearly a headcase, but going off the handle in an attempt to push your personal vendetta is too much. The point you made about records against low ranked players at majors being such a cherry pick is that obviously you're going to play low ranked players in a grand slam when you're seeded relatively high.....Pulling meaningless stats about wins against those outside the top 70 shows you are lost in your own delusion here. Does anyone care what any of the great players records are against players outside the top 70 at majors - meaningless.
Did I ever say he could beat the top 4-5 players on tour on any day, no. I did say that he has results to prove he is not simply a non-factor and about to be off the tour altogether as you wildly suggest. You can't honestly be surprised that a player isn't beating many people ranked ahead of him when he's leveled off as a 15-20 ranked player can you? Those stats are so typical of any good player who has peaked on tour. If he were knocking off better players with regularity, he would be in the top 10 conversation!
Kyrgios has been a top 30 player since 2015 with the same issues and work ethic problems he's always had. It may not happen right away but it's more than fair to assume he'll be right back into the top 30 as soon as he get's past his injury problems that slowed him down last year.
