Younger Generations Must Not be Tainted by Acceptance of Bad Behaviour!
July 6, 2023 Dear Editor, So, “Nick Kyrgios has many haters!” is the theme/opinion of many modern-day reporters/journalists, sub-editors and editors? Wrong! Yes, the mercurial, brilliant Kyrgios is disliked by so many (including this parent, grand- and great-grandparent writer); however, what is so greatly detested is the official acceptance and pandering to — even by Tennis…

Tit for Tat?
July 4, 2023 Dear Editor, The usually very staid English Lord’s Cricket Ground-based Marylebone Cricket Club’s disgracefully-behaved members’ abuse and possible jostling of our Aussie cricketers for allegedly cheating by trashing the “spirit of the game” is somewhat “tit for tat” for mercurial Aussie tennis player Nick Kyrgios’s shameful, disgusting spitting towards, and verbal abuse…

Wimbledon Does Not Need Kyrgios
June 26, 2023 Dear Editor, We already have the spectacle of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sullying the British Crown; will we now see the All England Tennis Club further trash William Blake’s, “And did those feet in ancient time, Walk upon England’s mountains green?…” by having again invited, “I’m not gonna conform to a bunch…

Kyrgios Not Maligned; Young Umpires/Referees Are!
August 30, 2022 Dear Editor, Hang on! Hang on here – foul-mouthed and bad-sport Aussie tennis champ Nick Kyrgios (no champion Aussie bloke, instead, consistently and so spuriously playing the race card instead of the scintillating, taxpayer-funded developed tennis he’s capable of) should not be defended as being unfairly maligned after his spitting at spectators…

Not “our” Nick (or “our Dayne”)!
August 24, 2022 Dear Editor, Mark Knight’s cartoon (HS, 25/8) brilliantly illustrated the putrid-mouthed, bad sport, and spitter-towards-spectators Australian tennis Nick Kyrgios’ mealy-mouthed hypocrisy when facing a court of law. The only problem was Knight’s “our Nick” wording, because I’m darn sure so many other Aussies, along with this writer, would not consider Kyrgios “our…

Would Have Been Sadly Glad, Alright!
July 11, 2022 Dear Editor, Have happily heard of so many Aussies saying they were glad Nick Kyrgios was beaten at Wimbledon, because had the so obnoxious Kyrgios won Wimbledon’s 2022 Gentlemen’s Singles Championship, for an Aussie to have won it this bloke would have been so very glad; but as it would have been won…

Sadly Happy
June 29, 2022 Dear Editor, My great sadness for Nick Kyrgios’ Wimbledon win is somewhat alleviated by my happiness for Kyrgios’ very unwell lovely Mum’s great happiness over her son’s success. Yours, Howard HutchinsVictoria, Australia Howard Hutchins

What to do with Kyrgios?
January 19, 2022 Dear Editor, “What to do with Nick Kyrgios?” is being asked. Attention: Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley: Australian tennis greats Nick Kyrgios (though no Rod Laver) and Margaret Court (even greater than Serena Williams; a far greater all-round Australian than Kyrgios!) might have two characteristics in common: a courtside manner, and the…

Kyrgios Now Supports the “Tool” of a Maskless, COVID-Infected “Djoker?”
January 8, 2022 Dear Editor: Hang on! Hang on, here! Australia’s Nick Kyrgios’ earlier bagging of Serbia’s Novak “The Djoker” Djokovic as a “tool” was a case of the pot calling the kettle black (will that upset BLM activists)? So now that so obnoxious abuser of umpires, competitors, and tennis crowds; waster of immense natural…

A Truly Compassionate Serve
“COURTING WITH OBSCURITY” January 19, 2020 Dear Editor: Australian tennis greats Nick Kyrgios and Margaret Court might have two characteristics in common: a courtside manner, and the ability to serve…both on and off the court. However, the how and why they do so couldn’t be more different. One splashes truly vile abuse/insults/actions most of the…
