Yes, I recall it's quite complicated. I believe he's gluten intolerant too.

Oh, boy, brama, brama!!

Miami Open: Nick Kyrgios & Fernando Verdasco row after Australian's 'lose' tweet

Nick Kyrgios and Spain's Fernando Verdasco traded insults on social media after the Australian said he wanted his Tour rival to lose at the Miami Open.

Kyrgios called Verdasco "the saltiest dude" as the Spaniard argued with Thanasi Kokkinakis during his last-32 win over Kyrgios' compatriot.

Verdasco responded by saying Kyrgios 'lacked courage' for later deleting his tweet, which also mocked Verdasco's record against Australian opponents.

The pair could meet in the semi-finals.

Live scores, schedule and results
Verdasco, ranked 39th in the world, argued with Kokkinakis in the final set of his 3-6 6-4 7-6 (7-4) win after accusing the Australian qualifier's father of talking during his serves.

The often-outspoken Kyrgios, 22, then tweeted: "I hope TK wins this match, Verdasco is the saltiest dude, must be frustrated at his past success against Aussies."

Fernando Verdasco replies to Nick Kyrgios tweet
Verdasco, 34, had lost his previous six matches against Australian players, including his two meetings with Kyrgios in 2015 and 2016, before beating Kokkinakis.

After the near three-hour match, Verdasco replied: "When you have the courage to put a tweet insulting another player you need to have the same to don't delete it."
That sparked another response from Kyrgios, who said: "I would honestly have told it to Fernando's face, the reason I deleted my previous tweet was because I didn't want to cause unwanted attention, but I'm just gonna leave this here. Thanks for blocking me, I'm sure that took a lot of courage x."

Verdasco faces fellow Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta, who beat American Steve Johnson 6-4 6-4, in the last 16 on Tuesday.

Kyrgios breezed through with a 6-3 6-3 win over Fabio Fognini, setting up a last-16 match with German fourth seed Alexander Zverev.

Zverev, 20, rallied from a set down to beat Spain's David Ferrer 2-6 6-2 6-4.

South Africa's Kevin Anderson also reached the fourth round with a 4-6 6-2 6-3 win over Russia's Karen Khachanov, while Canadian teenager Denis Shapovalov upset 11th-seeded American Sam Querrey 6-4 3-6 7-5.

Sure hope Tiafoe doesn't turn into Monfils 2.0 with the clowning.

I entered my ATP PGame scores for R16, and then saw that two matches altrady had started. So I removed one score removed one score (isner vs Cilic) and re-entered the default for the other (0-4 0-4)...

Keeping it real, Grav', thanks. I've done this myself, forgetting sometimes to timely input scores and just have to take the hit. You, as well as Ace, know that I don't like default scores for any round. So, for myself, if I'm late I'm going to just delete the names associated with the section of the draw in play that I was late for so I don't get any credit for such. That's just for me, for I'm against getting credit for something I didn't attempt, getting something for nothing.

:) the default 4-0 4-0 scores are to help, with a bit of luck, a participant who forgot to enter the scores...
I'll take it.

Actually, I agree with Rex and I should have re-entered the default scores for the DelPotro match and Raonic match too.
That section should have been closed when I entered them (I was not aware that bottom section was already active).
And in that case, I would not have won points with DelPotro (as he lost with the default.

Ace, Rex, I reopened the bottom section temporarily so I could delete my scores. I felt that I should not get those DelPo-points and thus replaced my prediction with the defaults. We need to set the example, and not enter scores in a section that was supposed to be closed (even if the match had not started yet).

yes... no one should enter a score in a closed section.
What I said is that when the section should be close, I just close it, leaving all the default scores intact.
It's like, dude you are late, you get the default score as if you never showed up. No need to touch anything. Just close the section and move on.
Because if you change your scores to blank or 0, you are basically posting after the deadline and the time will reflect that you made changes when no one was supposed to..
So better close and let everything stand.. default scores and else. Then there is no confusion about someone changing score after deadline, no matter what he changed it to.
