Thankyou Rafa – you are a true sportsman and role model for everyone not just children – you are the sort of person we want our kids to look upto and admire – talent is one thing however spoilt disgusting behaviour is another – I for one will never watch another match of Kyrgios’ again – I was never a fan of his and I will be happy to never hear from him again – I hope his sponsors wake up to themselves and ditch him.
