You're right on the money Wivo. Two players with distinct playing styles & opposite personalities makes this game fun & unusual to watch. But highlighting Mohamad Lahyani is so unexpectedly amazing. As tennis fans we have our favourite tennis umpires too. My friend your content is unmatched. You surprised me. Thanks a lot. Bravo.

Kyrgios shows little respect for this Gentleman Sport: Gentleman sports are usually considered rough and tough, but also imply honor and class. There is nothing honorable nor classy about Kyrgios. He is a blight on a wonderful sport.

Nick has matured since this. He is now acting like a 14yr old😅

@Peteherrera1502 You're exactly right. And I think the second part of your comment answers the first. He IS so talented, which gets him into the top 64 (or 128) to play with the elite. They can fine him, even suspend him for a few months (e.g. Zverev, Shapovalov) Additionally, unfortunately, I believe a lot more people than I would like to imagine like to watch these train wrecks. (maybe to see what he'll do next.) Forget about his immaturity and narcissism for a second. If he actually practiced, had a coach, and ½-way listened to them, imagine how good he could be combined with his innate talent. That's what kills me. Wasted talent. He would be in a lot more Major Finals than just the Djokovic loss. Lastly, I could swear I saw him Hosting a Tennis talk show. Know anything about that? And who risked their career pitching that one?

I never understood how tennis would even have someone like him in there sport such a bad look

that was the best comedy show for today :D

The better man won this match! Kyrgios has no manners or respect, not even for the ball boys! 😡

Not sure why this umpire is engaging with this Kyrgios player over circular argumentative arguments - just dock him a point every time he loses his rag !

He's always been my fave umpire. So warm, yet knowledgable.

The absolutely worst behaved guy temper flaring, F bombs everywhere, constantly snapping at ball kids playing against one of the most naturally well behaved guys I don't think Kei could be a brat even if he was trying to, talk about a study in contrasts. Pro tennis would collapse in a month if the majority of guys acted like Kyrgios.

In hockey if you start mouthing off to the ref you'll get a unsportsmanlike penalty. In tennis it seems like the umpire is a meek parent too afraid to discipline his spoiled child.

Kyrgios, one of the worst ambassadors for the game, ever.

🤦‍♂Proof - you can argue with idiots, it gets you nowhere.

Lahyani is great. He can make mistakes too but his consistent accuracy, professionalism, sense of humor and objectivity makes him stand out as one of the best umpires - especially after this past week on clay. I wanna dislike Kyrgios b/c he can be a douche, but challenging his own serve was HILARIOUS. The guy does have a sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Sadly, the relentless subtle cheating by Kyrgios makes even a seasoned umpire like Lahyani make decisions in his favour, like the replay the point when Nishikori's shot was in, and the Kyrgios return was out. That was clearly Nishikori's point
