flog = golf backwards

[SBRMAN23]

Tried to get heritage to see if they would do the same haha it was a good laugh as the operator kept telln me the game was played already, even when i tried to explain the situation. Its like some of these guys who work for the books dont read or watch the games lmao. Stay current on what your line of work is man lol. Sad sad Nick would do that but he has been making ppl money also.

[STAY STRONG]

I see jjgold is still a full blown retard.

What's a flog?

aussie slang, usually referring to sports players in a degrading manner, most commonly used in AFL, ie- that flog lance franklin is the king of penetrating flogs.

I wouldn't say kyrgios is a flog, he makes tennis watchable, he legitimately doesn't give a fuc. he does what a large portion of pro's have wanted to do in some point of their career but don't as they are afraid of the controversy and receiving fines/bans it would cause. its good for the sport as it brings it into the eyes of the mainstream via social media/news thus bringing more interest and money. people are just so quick to not use their brains and jump on the "ban him, he shouldn't be playing" boat because it requires no thought. when really what match do you think would be the most rewatched of the entire tournament? not the final, that's for sure.

I can't agree
the fans, the sponsors, the tournament are paying his salary
if you don't want to play/show up, either withdraw or retire-pros who don't want to play do that, not give no effort on the court-which as I pointed out earlier in this thread, is a waste of everyone's time, including kyrgios
there's nothing "watchable" about this type of performance

This is spot on, he needs to have a look in the stands, this entire Asain swing has attendance that looks scarcer than a mid week WNBA game. Those who paid deserve a match. Furthermore, if this game becomes unbettable because of this garbage it's reputation will suffer along with its TV viability, thus shrinking the money.

They really should suspend him from the tour for 6 months, have him come back and stick him with 1st round draws of the big4 everytime. Hurt him right in the wallet, he'll shape up fast.

Best thing & most clever post you've shared this month I love that word "flog" btw ...

[jjgold]

Guys it is about winning if you bet the guy

He is a winner ..who cares about tanking

Shari has a personal issue with him via twitter

They both live in Australia and she tried to ask him out

Nicky must of shot her down or ignored her and now she go nuts on SBR

Kid having strong year

[yisman]

ATP needs to penalize him, whether it's fines, rankings, whatever.

Make him qualify for tournaments.

[tennischallenger]

As a tennis lover I was disgusted by his behavior but it was a nice move from the bookies who refunded the bets.

[beefcake]

Kyrgios should go watch highlights of Michael Chang trying 100% on every point..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6Yf1ZsWRQQ

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

He's been fined basically the max amount by the ATP [16.5k]

agreed
he has no right to play on the tour
let him sit at home for 6+ months if he ever wants to steal $$$ from the fans again

Sets a precedent though that every second person will be lining up or their money back whenever a player tanks.

[Plaza23]

I wish 5d would refund tanking tennis player bets. I had a fixer happen to me last night.

Caroline Garcia had 12 double faults in her loss to the 199th ranked player in the world. That shit was more blatant than any Davydenko match. She even managed to win the 1st set to make it look good.

Nick is a hilarious dude. I gotta respect any player that tells Stan his girlfriend was banging another player, during the match for audio to pick up haha.

[Plaza23]

Really????

Get stuffed.

I hope he gets fined and friggen booted from the Aussie team. You don't think the greats get tired???? I've never once seen a Roger, Boris, Nadal, Djoko, Serena, Steffi, etc act like this. None of how he's acted. Come on now. He's an absolute embarrassment. If you're too tired, withdraw ffs.

The threat of players tanking to go home early, especially in Asia where they are far from their homes, has to be great.

Rough sport to bet on.

[Seto]

In a team sport I'd have a big problem with it. You're letting down your teammates, embarrassing the fanbase etc...

Inidividual sport, hey, it's his choice. I'm not necessarily a fan of his behaviour either don't get me wrong but all this talk about "suspend him" is a bit ridiculous.

As for match going fans, tennis is probably the sport where you have the least control over if you're getting your money's worth because the length of the matches is indeterminate. I once went to Roland Garros and attended these awesome matches:

Women's Singles 1st Round	Agnieszka Radwańska [4]	Shahar Pe'er	6–1, 6–1
Men's Singles 1st Round	Jo-Wilfried Tsonga [6]	Aljaž Bedene	6–2, 6–2, 6–3
Women's Singles 1st Round	Caroline Wozniacki [10]	Laura Robson	6–3, 6–2
Men's Singles 1st Round	Richard Gasquet [7]	Sergiy Stakhovsky	6–1, 6–4, 6–3
Women's Singles 1st Round	Maria Sharapova [2]	Hsieh Su-wei	6–2, 6–1

When had I been on the other court I could've seen this:

Women's Singles 1st Round	Li Na [6]	Anabel Medina Garrigues	6–3, 6–4
Men's Singles 1st Round	Rafael Nadal [3]	Daniel Brands	4–6, 7–6(7–4), 6–4, 6–3
Men's Singles 1st Round	Gaël Monfils [WC]	Tomáš Berdych [5]	7–6(10–8), 6–4, 6–7(3–7), 6–7(4–7), 7–5

Shit happens. You know it going in. Don't buy tickets if you don't wanna be disappointed. If anything at least Kyrgios provided some comic relief as opposed to a typical blowout match.

[Seto]

As for gamblers who lays -700 on the ml on anyone let alone a known headcase like Kyrgios? Hate to sound like a dick but I'm glad those people lost and wouldn't have refunded them a penny...

[jjgold]

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — That latest outburst from Nick Kyrgios has commentators and critics in Australia divided over whether the tennis prodigy's career would be better served by a harsher punishment or a reassuring hug.
The 21-year-old Australian was fined a total of $16,500 for tanking — or showing a "lack of best efforts" — unsporting conduct and verbally abusing a spectator during a bizarre second-round exit at the Shanghai Masters. Some critics wondered why it didn't warrant a ban.

[mets119218]

With all the talk of people throwing matches I am really surprised they didn't use him as an example and ban him for a bit.

[shari91]

Nick Kyrgios banned by ATP for eight weeks over conduct at Shanghai Masters

And he's also had his fine upped to $25k by the ATP.

These shonky fukkers are letting him back the day before the Aus Open starts. Why I ever bet this wackadoo sport for the past 30 years is beyond me

[jjgold]

He announced today's going for psychiatric help that's a bunch of baloney because the tour threaten to ban him so he's playing a game

[shari91]

He's immature and that's fair enough. He was a young kid who was given a lot of money quickly and his family and hanger ons are fukkwits who never set him straight like the serious people around Fed or Murray or Djoko or many others. But this just becomes a total joke after a few of the same incidences. It's like when do you finally accept that a guy doesn't want to play and it's time to cut him loose?! Instead they give him these outs all of the time so he can do the dance and then show up at a tourney he doesn't give a rats' ass about, make $50k, act like a jerk and rinse and repeat. Oh and end his ban the exact day before the Aus Open starts. What a blatant slap in the face to anyone who bet on him and paid to watch him in Shanghai. I haven't bet on this dude in 2 years... never will again either. I don't care if he's playing 59802429043th in the world. I can serve better than him in his last match and I only serve underhand

[jjgold]

Shari why did you delete the tweet to him asking him out??

I wish I would of screen captured it

Now I cannot prove it, you love this guy


Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has been banned from competing for eight weeks and fined by the ATP for his behavior at the Shanghai Masters last week.
The 21-year-old, who was fined $25,000 (£20,500), was handed the punishment for his “lack of best efforts” due to patting the ball over the net when serving a number of times during his defeat to Mischa Zverev

[Optional]

He'll just do it again multiple times but not make it so blatant.

Wish he would be banned for life by tennis Australia for Davis Cup too.

[STAY STRONG]

Strawberries.

Haha I remember that!!! That was a year before I was forced to play on the tennis team for school because I was decent in a few other sports and they needed another body so they could enter a tourney. I served my legendary underhand and then ducked and moved out of the way when chicks tried to drill forehands down my throat

Any chance some of his recent games including this one had 'irregular betting patterns'?

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

These shonky fukkers are letting him back the day before the Aus Open starts.

what nonsense
essentially a meaningless suspension

[yisman]

shari, did you bet this Wimbledon final?

Nick full on basket case. Yelling throughout the whole match.
