OPINION: Tennis needs its combustible crazies to offset the many boring baseliners programmed to betray not an ounce of emotion. There's never a dull moment when either is on court and the two scoundrels must be gold to tennis promoters. Kyrgios can also entertain – who else would flick a ball between his chicken legs during a match or pop over underarm serves? We saw him reach the final at Auckland recently and then continue his eruptions in Melbourne. We saw at Auckland how Paire could fight back and be a fine player with a meltdown behind him.
