well if they don't kick them , then they're going to be charged outside the court for breaking lock down rules 

 

The court is so big people would be safer sitting there than lining up to leave the arena. 60-90 minutes extra pending on the 5th set wouldn't make any difference for safety IMO.

And I was recently criticised for saying that there was an undercurrent of anti Australian attitude among some here .

with all respect, Australia are only lucky because they are a big island with very few people spread around millions of square miles...

 

and moreover, they have 11 months a year of very favourable climate...

 

try and come here (or in the American continent) with our density of population and many months a year of cold weather with any sort of flu and similar virus going on all Winter...

 

sometimes you just can't handle things like you'd do in other circumstance...

by the way, those mini-lockdowns of few days are highly ineffective...if you want to get a decent and durable result you have to lock everybody down for at least a couple of months...

 

otherwise it's just a useless farce...

Really sad to see the hate towards Kyrgios. Tennis needs entertainers like him and not boring guys like Thiem or Djokovic.

You can’t judge whether Australia got „lucky“ or not, but it certainly is true that they had it way easier than many European countries.

Being an idiot doesn't make you entertaining

Maybe he should stop trying so hard to be hated. His attitude is disgusting and disgraceful. I used to support him because his father is Greek born in Greece but no thank you. This guy is an embarrassment to all Greeks worldwide with his childish behaviors.

Well, Hewitt pushed the envelope but he actually won some GS then came Tomic and things went sideways fast. Kyrgios seems to thrive on his enfant terrible image ever since the Donna Vekic comments BUT unlike Monfils who kinda went up with the clown show himself, nobody seems to find Kyrgios' antics funny at all.
