Nick Kyrgios has obtained a suspended 16-week ban and $25,000 (#20,300) fine for“aggravated behaviour“, subject to some six-month predetermined period.
Two racquets blasted on at a bad-tempered Cincinnati Masters defeat.
He was fined $113,000 (#93,254) for five individual offences.
Nevertheless an ATP analysis determined Kyrgios'“pattern of behavior“ over the last 12 months to be in breach of the regulating body.
Both suspension and the fine will be triggered if the 24-year-old doesn’t comply with certain conditions – including avoiding any code offenses incurring a good.
At the end of August Kyrgios was warned by umpire James Keothavong for his conduct during his US Open game, and afterwards, when asked about his handsome in Cincinnati, claimed the ATP was tainted.
He then clarified that those remarks, adding it was“not the proper choice of words“ – though he thought the ATP was guilty of“double standards“.
Another investigation into these comments, permitting for Kyrgios‘ clarification, found no violation had occurred.
In May, he had been fined after he threw his racquet down, kicked a bottle and hurled a chair before culminating at the set of a match at the Open.
A month later, he was fined #13,766 for unsportsmanlike behavior at Queen’s.
When his degree of effort during a defeat by Mischa Zverev was contested, he previously received an eight-week ban for his conduct.
Together with Thursday’s decision, some physical or verbal abuse behavior or some other obscenity directed towards a formal at an ATP Tour or ATP Challenger Tour event will result in a ban.
He’s been given five days to lodge an appeal.
