" TENNIS Australia said yesterday “bad boy” Nick Kyrgios will seek a reduced ATP ban and see a sports psychologist to avoid a longer suspension.
The ATP has ordered Kyrgios to see a sports psychologist or face an eight-week ban after his tantrum at the Shanghai Rolex Masters last week.
A TA spokeswoman said Kyrgios had agreed to seek help http://www.vegasgoldenknightsofficialstore.com/adidas-shea-theodore-jersey , but the 21-year-old’s season was over once the reduced three-week ban expires on November 7. “We have spoken to his management and Nick has agreed to seek the help of a sports psychologist and will now be available to play in the Hopman Cup in early January,” she said.
The Hopman Cup mixed teams event is in Perth from January 1-7 ahead of next year’s opening grand slam the Australian Open in Melbourne on January 16.
Kyrgios has apologized for his controversial on-court behavior after the ATP hit him with the conditional eight-week ban and further fines yesterday. The tennis tour organizers added US$25,000 to a US$16,500 penalty ordered last week and said the eight-week ban would be reduced to three weeks if he “enters a plan of care under the direction of a sports psychologist http://www.vegasgoldenknightsofficialstore.com/adidas-reilly-smith-jersey , or an equivalent plan approved by ATP.”
“Nick’s conduct in Shanghai was unacceptable, disrespectful to the sport and its fans,” said ATP executive chairman Chris Kermode. “Nick is a phenomenal talent and our hope is that he uses this time away from the tour constructively...”
“Following the ATP’s decision today I would like to take this opportunity to apologize again for the circumstances in Shanghai,” he said.
“The season has been a long one as I battled several injuries and other challenges towards the end of the summer. The Asian circuit was particularly tough after the long week and win in Tokyo and with the travel throughout the continent, my body finally just gave out in Shanghai both physically and mentally.
“This is no excuse, and I know very well that I need to apologize to the fans — in Shanghai and other parts of the world — as well as the tournament organizers in Shanghai who do an amazing job.”
" Nobody would ever wish to play down the health benefits of sport ? nor would anybody want to create a situation in which people were afraid to play sport or organise sport for fear of leaving themselves open to a compensation claim.
However, the fact that sport is often physically demanding is not an excuse for organisers http://www.vegasgoldenknightsofficialstore.com/adidas-paul-thompson-jersey , trainers or even players to hide behind. A sports trainer, leisure centre operator or equipment manufacturer has a responsibility to the people who will use their equipment or train under them.
For example ? if someone suffers an injury as a result of faulty or improperly maintained equipment, that is not their fault. Also, it is not the type of injury that one can to some extent expect might happen as a result of the physical nature of the game. Rather http://www.vegasgoldenknightsofficialstore.com/adidas-oscar-lindberg-jersey , it is a failure of health and safety and it cannot be excused merely because it occurred in a sporting field.
An injury suffered in this manner will be just as debilitating as one suffered in any other way; the same loss of work and need for rehabilitation applies. Also, the same example needs to be made of the person or manufacturer who allowed faulty equipment to be used.
For these reasons, a sports injury claim is a wholly appropriate recourse for an injury victim, and it is not one which should be viewed as having a stigma attached to it.
There are other occasions in which an accident can occur in the sporting arena that can lead to a just and fair compensation claim. A spectator http://www.vegasgoldenknightsofficialstore.com/adidas-oscar-dansk-jersey , for example, viewing his local team, can rightfully expect that the stadium and the facilities meet health and safety standards.
Accidents can occur if they seating or shelter is inadequate, or if poor lighting or conditions lead to a slip or fall.
If this happens http://www.vegasgoldenknightsofficialstore.com/adidas-nate-schmidt-jersey , and the spectator is hurt as a result in a manner that leaves him unable to work and earn money, then it is perfectly fair that they receive a just amount of compensation to enable them to cope with a situation caused by someone else?s carelessness or ineptitude.
Similarly, organisers of spectator sports have a responsibility to ensure appropriate levels of crowd control and safety. Failure to do so can lead to horrific situations and anyone who does not take these responsibilities seriously should rightly face a personal injury claim.
If you suffer a sports injury through participating in or watching sports, you may need a significant amount of time to recover. You could lose out on earnings and even become permanently disabled as a result of your injury.
A morning after pill is an emergency contraception that to avoid unwanted pregnancy. It prevents pregnancy after sperm has been released into the woman's body if the contraception is not used. This contraceptive pill is meant only for birth control if you believe that the condom tore during copulation or any other precautionary method failed.
The pill can be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex but the earlier, the better, because it works best within a short interval of 12 hours.
