But he doesn’t ‘come off with class.’ He comes off as abrasive, defensive, inauthentic. The crowd often takes against him not because of his nationality but his unlikeability on court; aggressively urging them to cheer for him etc. Tennis fans don’t like bad sportsmanship, as Kyrgios has found out.

Ridiculous to claim that Federer (the men’s tennis world’s true GOAT because of all he achieved on and off court) and Nadal are ‘held to a lower standard’. In what category? Skill? Manners? Charm? Sportsmanlike behaviour? Discipline? Commitment? They’re faultless by any standard.

Neither are Federer, Nadal or Andy Murray, the others in the ‘top four’ greats. All of whom played through injury. Your point makes no sense.
