'Perfection with Petulance', Enigma Kyrgios Frustrates Australia
Australia's media marked rather than celebrated Nick Kyrgios's run to the Wimbledon final on Monday, mixing praise for his play with condemnation of his outbursts at officials, fans and his own entourage. Kyrgios was hailed for the brilliance of his tennis in the opening set but panned for his erratic behaviour as Novak Djokovic rounded out a 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6(3) victory to clinch his 21st major title. It was a familiar postmortem and further evidence that the basketball-mad kid from Canberra remains a frustrating enigma to his compatriots.
