    You and Kyrgios.

    Are you gonna keep betting on him until he reaches world no. 1? : P

    Have you been able to see any of his matches recently?

    As long as he is playing in Australia against guys who don't have a serve to match, he's well worth it - especially when he's priced at plus money. If he plays outside of Australia, I will definitely be more cautious, but he's in a major comfort zone here.

    Still, have you seen any of his recent matches?

    Any time you have a young player, playing in front of a friendly crowd - big difference. Lots of young players have no idea how to handle playing in front of indifferent or hostile crowds. I've seen some of him. His serve is dynamic and he has big ground strokes to go with it. Obviously as a teenager, he's going to have bouts of inconsistency at times - but he's shown a great ability to fight through disappointing sets or disappointing moments in sets to fight back and win. Playing these Aussie Challengers he goes against a lot of guys whose serves aren't in the same class even if they're years older than him. Robert will test him as a veteran player, so it's another moment to learn and see how the kid responds.

    Ok thanks for your input, but just to make one thing clear: You haven't seen him play in the last weeks, have you?

    be carefull of that guy!!! as i said in a former pic, i like this guy game alot....very clean, nice one hand backhand, nice volley BUT he is such a headcase!!! very lazy, give up quickly when losing a set, etc, etc......and Stahkovsy is very good: i saw 2 complete matches of him this year and he was playing very well.....i think he will win this one easily(i know its never easy!!loool) in 2 sets!!!

    How would he do that when Kyrgios has been playing in Australia only so far this season?

    I went and watched his first round match against Klein, and will go watch him against Robert if it's postponed until Monday. (which looks a chance looking out the window this morning)

    I would have commented earlier. But not sure I could evaluate him better live than on TV. I'm so used to watching from one end that watching from the side made it tougher for me to judge too much.

    He looked good, but not like "wow this kid is amazing"... which I recall thinking seeing players like Boris Becker, Pat Cash and Samprass live for the first time. Biggest plus i would say about him is he is cool and confident and goes for the kill when he is ahead.

    Forecast says rain should give way a little more in a few hours. Probably not starting on time here like it was supposed to in the next 10 minutes, but should see some action in the next 3 hours or so I hope.

    Mo money Mo money Mo money. Love when they throw this kid up at plus odds. I will be shocked if he isn't the favorite against either Reid or Groth. He's an easy pick to take against Reid IMO. If it's Groth, will have to see the price. Groth obviously has the serve to compete, although the rest of his game is average at best. Not sure what book will have this one as it is going to be set for later today I would assume?

    Damn wish 5Dimes would post the Sydney Final. She Kyrgios at -150 at Bet365 against Reid. Would have no problems paying that.

    What a f-ing Ca$h Cow this kid has been in these Challengers. Too bad I think that's the last one in Australia. Looks like he is going to play Futures events mainly and Juniors at the Slams. Gonna watch this kid at the French and see how he is on clay.

    Yeah pretty sure they ask for driver's license or some photo ID and a utility bill or some shit with your address on it - if I remember.

    This will be one of those weeks where Challengers get looked at a little more early in the week with the lack of matches on the higher level until mid-week. Kyoto (Carpet) and Santiago (Clay) on-tap.

    I thought carpet was banned as a tennis surface? Isn't it hardcourt in Kyoto?
