Like why, Andy? This guy is the biggest jerk the tennis has ever known...in recent times. I can't speak to the past. Mouthing off to the person who's responsible for you getting to the Olympics? This guy needs help.

Andy Murray defends Nick Kyrgios over ongoing feud with Australian Olympic Committee

WORLD No.2 Andy Murray has defended Nick Kyrgios amid criticism of the tennis star from the Australian Olympic Committee.
The AOC’s chef de mission, Kitty Chiller, has threatened to snub Kyrgios for this year’s Rio Olympics over his behavior, but Murray can’t see what all the fuss is about.

“I know him away from the court and he is a good guy,” Murray told the UK Daily Mail.

“He is funny, polite, he makes fun of himself, he doesn’t take himself too seriously. And I think he does seem to be learning all of the time.
“Every week just now he’s doing well. He’s playing matches, he’s travelling more, he’s playing more events. So I hope for him that he is there (at the Rio Olympics).
“I don’t really understand it, but I guess because tennis players are some of the more famous ones, everything that they do gets seen, on a daily basis almost. But I think Nick’s behaved pretty good this year.”

Those comments echo the thoughts of Tennis Australia president Steve Healy, who has given Kyrgios his full backing.
“It’s unfortunate that he’s been included unfairly in recent discussion on player behaviour that has not involved him,” Healy said.
“His performances this year have been markedly improved and it’s obvious he’s showing more maturity.”

On Friday, Chiller fired a verbal volley Kyrgios’ way over a tweet in which he called out the team boss.

On Friday, Chiller fired a verbal volley Kyrgios’ way over a tweet in which he called out the team boss.
“We have had nothing official except for some ill-advised, shall I say, comments about me and what it means to be an Olympian,” Chiller said of the tweet.
“I think some of Nick’s comments in social media have shown that maybe he doesn’t understand what it means to be an Australian Olympian.
“It is not just about winning on the court - it’s about how you go about it.”
“And if he doesn’t understand that ... I’ve said all along it’s not just about winning on the court, it’s how you go about it. If he thinks going along to the Olympic Games is wholly about winning — sure, we want everyone to win — but it’s about behaviour on and off the court.
“As with any athlete. There are a couple of athletes on notice. Nick has just come off a suspended sentence from his International Tennis Federation. Any athlete that has just had a disciplinary action from their international federation is on watch.”
