Ranting Brother Not Making Matters Easier for Nick Kyrgios



Nick Kyrgios would probably like to forget about his regrettable on-court incident from Wednesday night at the Rogers Cup. You know, pay the fines, learn the lesson and be done with it. But his brother Christos has other ideas.

Kyrgios’ older brother took to the airwaves and Facebook on Thursday to add some gasoline to the fires that were already brewing.

His behavior was so bad that he was yanked off the “Hughesy and Kate” show on KIIS FM. Today, Christos called back and got on the air again to clarify. He lasted a bit longer, but the show's hosts cut him off again before the segment ended. To be fair, the hosts were pretty rude and didn't give Christos much of a chance to speak his mind.

Christos, who claims that that his younger brother was angered at comments that Wawrinka made about Kyrgios reportedly faking an injury during their match this summer at Queen's Club, then took to Facebook to rant.

Those who were interested, could easily snoop down the comments of the Facebook post to see more Kyrgios ramblings.

In other news, the ATP’s player council, an organization which is headed by Eric Butorac and features Stan Wawrinka and John Isner, released the following statement to air its views on the matter:

And finally, Davis Cup Captain Wally Masur has publicly given a vote of support to the much-maligned Aussie. “He is part of our plans, absolutely,” Masur told Fox Sports Australia.

And, last but not least, Rafael Nadal was asked to weigh in on Kyrgios' transgressions (see video above). “I hope he’s able to recognise his mistake and I hope he’s able to change his attitude,” Nadal said. “He’s a fantastic tennis player, and possibly he can be No. 1 in the future.”
