‘He Has a Valid Point There’- Andy Roddick Says Nick Kyrgios Has a Good Reason to Complain

Nick Kyrgios, the Australian tennis professional, has won six ATP titles. And is currently taking part in the Miami Open in the hope to win his seventh. Although the Aussie has dominated his matches. However, his hot-headedness has made him take a hit recently, thereby affecting his gameplay.
The Aussie has been in the headlines again due to his hot-headedness. And has caused a scene yet again in the Miami Open, following the Indian Wells incident. While in a quest for a ticket to the quarterfinals. He tangled himself in an argument with the referee Carlos Bernardes during the fourth round of the ongoing tournament.

Andy Roddick’s Take On the Matter

Andy Roddick, the former world no.1, has also been through situations in which he disagreed with the umpire. However, his response to getting a warning varies a lot from Nick’s. Upon being asked what would be the right way to act in such situations, Andy said, “It’s pretty easy. Once you have a warning, you don’t do anything else that would warrant another warning.”

Andy weighed in on what might be the probable cause of prolonged conflict. He said ” You know, him saying this referee is bad to someone and someone else could do better. I feel like he has a valid point there that Carlos, who I like, might have got his feelings hurt. That doesn’t seem like unsportsmanlike conduct. It seems like ego was in play there.”

“He already wants to give you a warning. He’s personally offended and so your problem solving is to smash a racket to give him a break. That’s the point where you lose me a little bit. That was absolutely not the right thing to do if you want to win this tennis match.” He added.
