(CNN) — Nick Kyrgios is in hot water after walking off the court to smash rackets and phoning an umpire that a“f***ing tool“
After winning the opening series in his three-set defeat Russia’s Karen Khachanov on Wednesday in the Western and Southern Open at Cincinnati, Kyrgios was hit by some time violation in the second set for taking too long between functions.
While seated between games, he exclaimed:“That’s humorous, if Rafa (Nadal) performs that quick I’m retiring from tennis.
„Total crap… disgrace. Get me some footage of Rafa enjoying that quick, that game.
„If you’re able to get any of that I’ll shut my mouth never talk again.“
Following Khachanov won the second set 7-6 (7-4), he predicted umpire Fergus Murphy“the eldest Dean ***ing ref in history, the worst ref in the sport.
