Nick Kyrgios is going to be punished harshly, says pundit
Speaking on Amazon Prime, former world No. 4 James Blake commented on Nick Kyrgios saying that ATP is corrupt and adopts double standards. The American said: "I think a double standard is sometimes earned. I think it is by your behaviour, by your reputation, by what you have done before. And for me, it is tough to say what is the double standard when there isn't someone else to compare it too. Who else on tour has thrown a chair? Has called an umpire a bleeping tool? Has spat at an umpire and has done those kinds of things?
"You can't really compare it someone else, and say what was their fine. No one has done that. So if you want to say you've been punished harshly, you can agree there. But you can't say someone has done the exact same things. Some guys have gotten fines and done something but they've done it once and they've never had any encounter again. So the fines are going to be different there. With Nick Kyrgios, you've got a history of these things and he is going to be punished harshly. And that's not necessarily a double standard. That's an earned reputation."
Kobe Bryant revealed one of the conversations he had with Novak Djokovic: “One of the things we talked about is letting you know what works and focusing on your strengths. You won’t be the same player that you were. But you can be a different version of that player and be better.”
