At 5-5 in 2nd set TB, Kyrgios threw & broke his racket after losing the
point to go down 5-6. He had already received a code violation for an
obscenity earlier and this 2nd violation should have been an automatic
point penalty. He should have lost the set right after breaking the
racket.
The commentators mentioned that this would have been a major issue had
Kyrgios gone on to win that set.
Kyrgios has got game but he needs to put a lid on his emotions.

Racket destruction is part of the game! Shows the inner turmoil,
brings some action to the sport, and helps to sell it!
They should encourage it!

Here's my philosophy on players abusing rackets:
A racket can only do so much to overcome the deficiencies of the one
using it.

I'm sure he's done that already. It's probably why Roger tanked at FO '08. He knew the game was rigged against him.
