Kyrgios mum wants Nick to behave like Federer

Nick Kyrgios has pulled an immense upset in Madrid after defeating his childhood (ie. few years ago) hero Roger Federer.

The mother is obviously proud for Nick’s achievements, but like every caring parent, she wants his son to …. behave!

Kyrgios is well known for his outbursts (some people like it) and he produced another one in Madrid in his match against King Roger after many mistakes from the line judges. According to his mother he needs to control himself.

From Nick’s mother

Nill Kyrgios uncovered why Roger was Nick’s favorite “Federer was it [Nick’s idol], mainly because of his backhand, but also the fact he doesn’t lose his temper much and goes about his business. Nick loves causing havoc that’s all I have to say, he likes to stir the pot,

The thing is he’s got a lot to learn on how to control that. The lines people may get it wrong, everybody makes a mistake. I don’t mind him pointing it out and saying that was wrong, you should have watched the ball better, but don’t keep carrying on about it.

You can have a bit of a dummy spit, that’s fine. That’s his workplace, if someone does something wrong where you’re working, you’ve got to pick up on it.”

Kyrgios is now in Rome where he will start his campaign against Feliciano Lopez. Let’s see what he can do!
