[QUOTE="Purp, post: 3164541, member: 12852"] I look at Kyrgios as a gamesman in a sport expecting participants to be gentlemen. It's not against the rules, but it violates every unwritten rule. It's somewhat like comparing warfare from 2 centuries ago where regiments lined up in front of one another in very predictable fashion. There were rules and gentlemanly conduct was expected. Contrast that to modern asymmetric warfare and you wonder why they used to be so suicidal. How many lives could have been saved had the two sides tried to defend themselves a bit better? The gamesmanship Kyrgios uses has made its way into every other sport I can think of except for maybe golf. Hell, football and basketball have descended into full on anarchy in terms of show boating and breaking unwritten rules. If Kyrgios is allowed to continue with his antics and is successful using them others will eventually have to join him or risk being owned by him. He's got all the physical tools to dominate. If he's already winning head games before the first serve he'll be dominant. [/QUOTE]
