Jim Courier when pressed on this point called him an amateur in the way he ran his business.

Nick has great physical talent but an immaturity which killed any chance of a career of great heights. Seems like he was also hampered by surrounding himself with back slappers. Wasted tennis talent which is a shame.

Next...
At the end of the day though, this will be his record:
Reached top 20 (would’ve been top 10 if Wimbledon had points the year he made the final)
Reached a slam final
Reached a slam quarter final in Aus and US
Won a doubles slam final in Aus

That alone puts you in the top 1% of tennis players to have ever played the game (tbh I think it’s even higher than that), let alone the current generation. I think people would be very surprised at how few players ever get beyond a 2nd or 3rd round of a slam (or even qualify for one) and how many can be top 50 for a long time without ever winning a ATP title (around 80% never win a ATP title).
 
Was his wife in the photo too?

Edit... I gather was just him but he tagged Naomi Morton who is a BUPA director... BUPA were a club sponsor. Was he having an affair with her & confusing sms & x?
The statement says 'his account was compromised'.... But what type of hacker would do this only?

Perhaps someone who has access to his phone and discovered he was sending dickpics to another woman.
 
I have reasonable confidence in my source for the Sayers thing.

So the story goes, the pic is real and his and was posted by his wife. Their marriage is all but over and she is currently living in Italy. She found out he was having an affair with the Bupa exec and wanted to burn them both publicly so she logged into his X account, posted it and tagged her.

Would explain the use of the word 'compromised' in the findings and not hacked.
 
To protect his commercial reputation outside football ….. we’ll find you not guilty (pardon) ..provided you resign and not have a future role in footy
Well not even that. After two years like the AFL / St Kilda bloke he will be magically redeemed.

That sounds quite logical. Why hasn't she been charged by the police? It's an illegal act.
 
Yeah, the pointy end where Kyrgios exists is so concentrated, and so lucrative, but you’re right that there is another stratosphere beyond that which requires levels of sacrifice that are absolutely enormous.

However I still think he’ll regret it given how much talent he has. Your 20s is the time to make that sort of sacrifice.

There's a lot of good tennis players out there, but there's only a very select few that have the extra X factor that you ned to be top ranking player.

The sad thing with Kyrgios is that he was one of those rare players who actually possessed that extra dimension that only the top flight players have.

He pretty much could have been anything, but just never wanted it enough.

skam85 did say that she's in Italy. It's illegal here - but it may not be illegal there. Hard for the Australian police to charge her while she remains overseas, and it's probably not a big enough charge for them to pursue extradition.

Would explain stating it wasn’t him and not quitting on the spot.

If it’s true why did he actually resign? Having relationship with a sponsor? Poor PR?

Because I wouldn’t have thought having an affair is a sackable offence.

Assuming that's so, can't he just claim "it's not my Dick" and apologize and move on?

Its an odd one, but he's been unable to escape scandals in his business career and now this.

Very bad PR for a club who've had their share.
