Has the crowd behavior at the Australian Open gone too far?
The actions of Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis after their win in Quarter Finals doubles action does not sit well with Jim Wilson.
With the fans getting quite rowdy throughout the match, it was clearly putting off and distracting their opponents Tim Puetz, from Germany, and Michael Venus, from New Zealand and Jim Wilson has called those accountable out.
The 2GB drive host believes the antics of the two Aussie tennis stars egged on the fans, causing disorderly and childish behaviour.
“What we got in this match was just over the top and unacceptable, and embarrassing in fact.”

The reaction in Melbourne from Tennis Australia regarding the incidents has been quiet so far.
Justin told Jim, “I really feel Tennis Australia has brought this on themselves”.
“It’s a damn shame.”
