I normally don't go in for the stuff people say about Kyrgios, the pearl-clutching "ABSOLUTLEY REPREHENSIBLE, WHAT A POOR SPORTSMAN" sort of theatrical derision of him that tends to happen is I think kind of put on. I also think Tsitsipas is a cheater and as much as Nick gets easily into the mode of bitching and complaining about things, I don't think he's doing it out of tactics, so at least it's a genuine reaction. But there's so much in this press conference that confirms what an actual just... piece of #### human being the guy is.



He gets accused of being a bully, and in the next question bullies the reporter who asks him if more players should be defaulted for hitting the ball in the crowd. He thinks there's no reason to apologize for doing stuff that's going to get him fined and immediately turns it around to "well I'll be interested to see what happens to Stefanos for what he did". Feels he has no responsibility for any of the drama, or "circus", in the match. Pulls the whole "I have lots of friends and nobody likes Stefanos" line. The constant "well people come to watch so I'm clearly in the right by doing this stuff because that's good for the game". Saying he doesn't care he can patch things up with Stefanos because Stefanos is soft and they're not cut from the same cloth because he plays basketball against tough people at home... How can someone watch this without thinking "what complete and total dick"?

... I bet if I said all that to his face he's the type of guy who would say "well I'm famous and you're irrelevant bro, I'm making millions of dollars bro what do you do", or something along those lines. Just... gross.
