Kyrgios comes across as an annoying teenager, but the guy asking the questions is SO off the charts obnoxious that I’m finding it hard not to root for Kyrgios anyway.
Yeah, the tone of this reporter was incredibly obnoxious. The fact that Kyrgios didn't tell him to go and **** himself was a credit to him.

I thought at first he wore red shoes in the match...then I see he just wore them off the court at the end of the match. I get that there's a 'dress code', but Jesus Christ. I hope Kyrgios turns up in a wedding dress for the QF.

Most of the time... yep! Particularly in domestic abuse cases.
Yeah I probably won't be jumping to such a conclusion myself yet

I mean, the timing itself speaks to some power hungry cop who has decided to take a complaint on from a jilted ex lover. Being an arsehole and cheating on your misso doesn't make you a criminal

I mean who is jumping to conclusions here... I mean he is being charged, that normally requires an investigation as some form of evidence to actually do that. This is not an arrest on some suspicion.

I'm speaking to your suggestion that he must be guilty after being charged...which is frankly ridiculous

I never said he must be guilty... I said, after your facetious comment, that most of the times in domestic abuse cases if charges are put forward they stick because of the pretty high bar required to charge somebody.

That's certainly the implication from your reply

Your implication that he is not guilty holds far less muster than my opinion that he probably is.... but you go for the apparent high handed bullshit argument of assuming 'innocent until proven guilty'. When the reality is you are a right-wing knob that is against 'woke' culture and will put the boot in whenever you can because it does not fit your life narrative, which consistently fails against all decent understanding.

You can't go around thinking everyone is guilty immediately once they're charged just because 'there's a high bar'. Look, I know you're a naive guy but this is next level

Once again you are implying something I did not say... I don't just assume guilt or innocence, but I take the charges as serious. Unlike yourself who will use the 'Presumption of innocence' in a court of law to attempt to degrade a serious charge to vilify and make up stories about both the person putting the charges forward and the cops/prosecutors. And this is all done in a personal motivation to justify an opinion that does not hold to any real scrutiny, but makes you feel better about yourself.

But yep, I`m an entirely naïve individual that has no understanding of the real world... unlike people like yourself who think only in the little box that is in their own head that cannot be disrupted by a new or original, for them, thought.

meh the Vekic incident showed what Krygios attitude to women, so I have always been one of the sludge that can't stand the bloke.

Don't overtly care about his attitude on court, but none of it adds up to being a super bloke IMHO.

It was a general comment to those who wished to immediately cast him as a guilty. He may well be. I don't really like him much either. He's a coward. But to have a media pile up and presume someone is guilty before trial is wrong. I'm sorry if that doesn't work for you

But the timing is incredibly convenient and I was merely suggesting another alternative to the 'incredibly high bar' to charge someone

In tennis circles, like with the Zverev stuff it has been known for awhile.

The Vekic controversy shows him up as a vulgar jerk but I haven't heard any accusations that he physically assaults women (which is how I take your comment to mean). If it was so then the press here would burn him but they haven't. Can you say what are the stories that you've heard about him?
