Kyrgios slams Thiem for defending Adria Tour: "None of you have the intellectual level to even understand where I'm coming from"

Nick Kyrgios has criticised Dominic Thiem for defending the players involved in the Adria Tour who subsequently tested positive for Coronavirus.
Alexander Zverev tested negative at the time but like Thiem has come under fire for continuing as normal and not self-isolating with the latter in particular playing multiple tournaments since then.
He told Austrian media that Kyrgios had 'made a lot of mistakes' which prompted a comeback from the Australian who hasn't been shy when it comes to his views of the situation.
"What are you talking about Dominic Thiem? Mistakes like smashing rackets? Swearing? Tanking a few matches here or there? Which everyone does?" Kyrgios said on Twitter.
"None of you have the intellectual level to even understand where I'm coming from. I'm trying to hold them accountable."

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
