Daily Bagel: Kyrgios' brother to haters: 'Keep watching greatness happen'

The Daily Bagel is your dose of the interesting reporting, writing and quipping from around the Internet.

• Nick Kyrgios' brother Christos has a message to all his haters:

And to all the media, "analysts", "experts" and other fkheads that find it so convenient to label this warrior "hot-headed, disrespectul & volatile", keep your unqualified, useless & s*** opinion next to your packet of chips on your desk where you are resting your fat a**. 

This is a 19 year old doing things that the sport has never seen, in his own way. A way that is entertaining and loved by not only his fans, not only lovers of the sport, but people who love seeing character. There is a reason why he is pushing the boundaries of possibility and why you are sitting there talking about it, just shutup and keep watching greatness happen.
