One of the reasons why American sports fans give as to why they watch little tennis on television is because it lacks a "bad boy." Not anymore.

You might not know the name Nick Kyrgios, but he is a 20-year-old Australian tennis star with a nasty temper and a flare for using profanity during matches. All of that was on display Monday during his fourth-round Wimbledon showdown with Richard Gasquet.


Kyrgios did finally return to playing tennis and actually won the third set, but Gasquet won the match, 7-5, 6-1, 6-7, 7-6. It is obvious that the young Australian has some John McEnroe in him, but no matter how mad Johnny Mac ever got during a match, he would never give up. Expect some hefty fines once the International Tennis Federation gets a hold of him.
