Australia must be so proud of their tennis players.

Let's not assume a certain infamous pair are representative of all Australia's tennis players. If you wanted to, you could find awful behavior from prominent sportspeople in every country, doesn't mean that their nation has some responsibility or accountability for their actions.

Let Bernie and Nick jack around and be idiots - they are. Doesn't mean they'll always be idiots, and doesn't mean that we should publicly focus on their behaviour instead of the hard work and gallantry of characters like Johnny Millman, who was fantastic today.

I'm proud of a lot of Aussie tennis players. And sometimes, when they deserve it, I'm even proud of Nick and Bernie.

If I started this thread about certain other countries, I'd be banned by now.

Kyrios isn't even Australian btw.

Kyrgios is entertaining at the very least, if you can just sit back and not give a fuck about him being a twat.

The behavior of youth in Westernized countries such as USA, UK, Australia, Canada is pretty messed up. The divorce rates are increasing and parents don't care to tell kids what is right and what is wrong; even if they do, not all kids are willing to listen and obey their parents because it intrudes their independence. For example, Ryan Lochte's Rio Olympics lying incident. They carry the same attitudes on to their jobs and professional lives. Everything is a game, like "the game" in the dating scene.

TOMIC has been in Australia since the age of 3, was raised here on the Gold Coast, and learned his tennis here.
He is a full Australian as far as I am concerned. (just like Milos Raonic is for Canada)
Unlike the likes of Jelena Dokic, he has not turned his back on the country that has given him his chance, and remained loyal to Australia in Davis Cup etc.
