Last year, Nick Kyrgios was banned by the ATP for three weeks after his performance in Shanghai.When he returned to the Chinese metropolis, the Australian enfant terrible made the next mistake.
Again and again Shanghai.Nick Kyrgios has made another scandalous appearance at Asia’s biggest tennis tournament.Australia’s talented and steadfastly cautious youngster gave up on American Steve Johnson immediately after the first set lost in the tiebreak and stormed off the field.
According to information from the Australian camp, a shoulder injury was the cause of the abrupt end, but Kyrgios had been noted in the match but nothing of it.The spirited Australian had already freaked out on Sunday in his clear final defeat against Rafael Nadal in Beijing, after a point deduction with referee Mohamed Lahyani.
Kyrgios also fought with the chair referee several times in the first-round match against Johnson.After a warning for hitting the ball, Fergus Murphy punished the obscene cursing of the tennis rump with a point deduction.Then Kyrgios cried out:”If I lose the sentence, I give up.” Whatever he did then.
Steve Johnson reacted astonished, even the US-American could not explain the strange task.Afterplay not ruled out.
