I agree with Dawn (Tomic and Kyrgios)

Anyway, Australian seem to have a tendency for banishment. Maybe it traces back to the First Fleet and the convict era. Being sent half way around the world for pickpocketing!

Sure we sent the Chinaman and Kanakas packing all that time ago, but I think the idea of imploring people to leave came from the whinging pommie migrants who behaved like Lord Muck and complained about everything and everyone (including their own) ..."go home you pommie b45tard" became a second nature mantra to the locals, including the pommies who loved it here. Wasn't any white is right tone in that expression.

With role models (maybe a bit old for some) like Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Tony Roche etc, I never thought I would see an Australian tennis player make the infamous John McEnroe look like a choir boy.

Nick Kyrgios is making McEnbrat look like a amateur in the sledging stakes.

It will be interesting to see how that plays out, being so close to the crowd, it may constitute defamation.
That is of course unless it is true, then it may be seen, as general conversation.
 
Kyrgios must only have half a brain if he thinks that sort of sledge can be audibly recorded,
it was risky even saying it at amateur footy or cricket;)

for a start, one ran the risk of having ones head punched in, I can imagine the lockeroom would be a tense atmoshphere for him atm. He better be up to it, as his opponents will heap the mental pressure on him.

In addition, he is clearly bringing the sport into disrepute, on several ocassions.
I expect he will be meted out severe punishment by the International officials if he continues.
He was fortunate to not be disqualified at Wimbledon

Anectdotally I have been told he was an absolute idiot and mental case as a junior player, to the astonishment and disgust of his peers. He seems to have a chip on his shoulder

I dont think it was wise for Dawn to mention race, hence her unconditional apology (no doubt strongly advised by management of her commercial interests)
