Crazy spitting. Gob Volley. The most cretinous Wimbledon player.
Suffice it to say that the British media thought that the behavior of “Aussie Hot Head” Nick Kyrgios on the sacred lawn of Wimbledon was quite normal.
The Daily Mirror even managed to include a series of TV screenshots from the moment Kyrgios spat in the direction of a viewer for whom he was angry.
The Daily Mail was the most critical and described Kyrgios as “personified petulance” and also as “cretin”.
Under the doomed headline, “Why is this player the craziest at Wimbledon,” Ian Herbert said he was “rambling and often inconsistent” with “relentless and poisonous diatribes” while accusing the 27-year-old of “feeding a sense of victimism “. ”.
In addition to occupying a place on the last page, Kyrgios dominated the Mirror’s opening sports broadcast with a “Life and Crimes” panel detailing some of his previous disputes.
Nick Kyrgios has become the ultimate target of rabid British media.
However, while chief sports writer Andy Dunn suggested that his behavior was disrespectful to opponent Paul Jubb and detailed his criticism of officials, he did have some sympathy for the former quarter-final. Wimbledon.
Dunn considered that Kyrgios was “within his right to return to one or two idiots” who had abused him, he was right in “highlighting the scourge of disrespect and abuses directed at the stars of modern sport.” and praised his broader campaign against racial insults. .
