IIRC he did this after that gymnast had to withdraw with mental health issues and he said the pressure is a privilege and then couldnt take the pressure lol. I recall that his full quotes on the subject was actually pretty reasonable (though, yes, a bit hypocritical given his own reactions) and not as negative towards Osaka as a snippet or two made it seem. He's definitely had attitude issues throughout his career. I actually thought he was getting better and more likable for a while, but then the pandemic hit and his statements/actions (including hosting his own tournament with no masking or anything while most all other sports were shut down, which turned into a big spreader event) erased all the good will he was starting to build up. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv <cite>Mizznox posted [p:961792853] in What's the...

Yeah, in the very rare cases he loses he throws temper tantrums. He'll throw the racquet, punch it, scream, and then start doing stupid shit on court. Most of the time he then makes some miraculous shot and everything is back to normal and he wins. --- Currently Playing: Tales of Arise and Lost Judgment <cite>Holy_Cloud105 posted [p:961792913] in What's the...
