Not sure they expected anything else from him.
Nick Kyrius lost tonight (between Tuesday and Wednesday) to Russian Karen Khachenov in the quarter-finals of the US Open Championship after five particularly tense and tiring sets, but he really didn't accept it.
In moments of losing his temper, the Australian, as the Wimbledon finalist remembers, hit hard and broke two rackets on the hard surface in New York one after the other and immediately after that he got off the court quickly.
"I'm just devastated, obviously," said the world number 23 after the loss, "I just feel like Khachanov won all or nothing, I just failed. You improve, you practice more and more, and then in a Grand Slam, none of that matters. To people It doesn't matter if you improved that day, or if you lost in the fifth set, or if you played one of the best games in the tournament, in the end you lost."

But of course the criticisms, as always, were not slow to come against the slandered Australian, and on the net they wrote: "A complete brat", "Awkward behavior, aren't you a little old to behave like a child?".
However, there were also those who did not forget what his compatriot Alex De Minor did earlier in the competition.
The Australian suffered an early loss already in the second round against the Spanish Pablo Carnio Busta and at the end of the match he dropped his racket as well.
So are we only treating Kyrius?
