    The less said about the " special K's ", the better.

    why ? they actually played brilliant tennis. The speed and responses to returns was amazing.....and what about those last few serves from Nick? No player in the world could have returned those.

    Because they are complete flogs and horrible role models for their sport (or any sport for that matter.)

    I thought they had fun & enjoyed themselves used to be what sport was about.

    Yes but only as things are going Kyrgios way. As soon as things change and he comes under pressure, the less than desirable traits become obvious.

    Agreed, yelling at the umpire, smashing racquets, swearing and more - completely uncalled for. Bad losers are nothing to be celebrated. Yes they won this time but when they aren’t they are an embarrassment to the whole Country.

    The " special K's" are to tennis what UFC is to boxing.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Well, that's two States that have claimed her, that didn't want to know her when she wasn't a champion. Her great grandmother came from Northern Victoria, something the Vics jumped on. She was raised in Qld, and learned her tennis at Ipswich.

    Hi,
    Always amused me how some motor mouths behind microphones 'adopt' a newly successful sports player deemed barely worth a mention a few days ago.
    Cheers

    Good onya Ash, best wishes in the final, you've done us and yourself proud.
