Second Serve

 

Nick Kyrgios earned a $6,200 fine for an audible obscenity in his third-round loss to Richard Gasquet.


The video above shows Kyrgios launching into a tirade at his box, but the tournament did not release the details, other than financial. Andy Murray and Jack Sock were also fined, as were Victoria Azarenka and Benoit Paire.

When asked about what he said to his box, Kyrgios replied “I don’t want to talk about it.”

Kyrgios nearly got into hot water in his first-round match when he was given an unsportsmanlike warning for raising his voice at a ballkid. But it was a questionable call that Kyrgios vehemently protested. In the heat of the moment he simply raised his voice so that he could be heard. Though it was questionable, Kyrgios has quickly learned that he's not going to be getting the benefit of the doubt from officials.

Kyrgios pointed to more lenient treatment that stars like Novak Djokovic receive during heated on-court moments to no avail earlier in the week.


The Aussie was more interested in talking about his frustrations about losing to Gasquet in straight sets. “I got absolutely destroyed,” he said. “Wasn't really fun. Leaves a bit of bad taste in my mouth. I thought I had a good clay court season leading up, and it was just a bad performance today.”
