Comments
I was actually going on the previous comments about Kyrgios, Spin because I visualised what had unfolded and I had seen it all before.
Then in the morning I read up on Tomic and OMG. His effort was even worse. These two blokes are re writing history in every unflattering category there is.
I can just imagine them both sitting back at their hotel laughing there arses off at how they are taking the pizz and getting paid for it. What does a first round loser get $60,000 ?
Wouldn't mind that coin for an hour and a half of sun baking in the English sun.

On the other hand, Tomic really needs to be cut from playing tennis by the powers that be. He is disinterested from serve 1 and to me crosses all the lines above of match fixing, respect and responsibility. If you get a chance to watch his conference after the match, he really does himself no favours and comes across as just a dumb arogant s h I t. Once the federation of whoever make the call and say you can't turn up and collect your 100k or what ever it is and perform in that manor and cut off the funds then it will continue. He takes the spot of someone who wants to be there and playing like that just p I s s e s on everyone involved.
Are there stewards in tennis that analyse betting markets? etc because I can tell you someone with the talent of Tomic should be beating or at least being competitive against an ageing Jo Wilfred, no disrespect to the great man Tsonga. It was clearly his intention to lose in straight sets! Problem is he isn't trying to hide it one bit.

Not defending Kyrgios , but other top players such ad Fed Djokovic etc can be scrutinized if you want to.
For example, first round at Wimblebon, Djokovic draws a no name. Djokovic could win 6 love 6 love 6 love.
Djokovic possibly would stretch the match out to 64 63 64 to get mstch practice, familiarize himself with the court, not embarrass his junior opponent, give the fans 3 hours of entertainment insteaf of 2 hours, practoce his serve or return of serve.
Is that spot betting ??
Plenty of players give up a set particularly if they get broken early to conserve their energy for the next set.
Problem with Kyrgios is that he is such a flog, he draws the heat.
Tomic is flog at the next level up.

Finally some action. A fine wouldn't hurt too, double bang.
Kyrgios on point with a 143 mph second serve then under arms an ace to win the game

It is kind of ironic that Kyrgios is rightly berating them for acts of stupidity.
