There is not a single tournament in which it is not news. The Australian Nick Kyrgios, who raised the title a couple of weeks ago in Washington, is again the protagonist but this time, again, for his bad attitude on the track.

His last, and painful, action, occurred this past dawn, during his match against Karen Khachanov in the second round of the 1000 Cincinnati Masters. The player was already in trouble with the chair judge Fergus Murphy and warmed up again, and now faces a heavy penalty from the ATP.

Kyrgios faced the judge during the end of the second set, which was decided in favor of his rival in a tight tiebreak. The player accused the judge of starting the serve clock too soon and he put a penalty after the insults of the Australian: "This is a joke, I am one of the fastest players to take off. Nadal's routine takes 20 seconds" , recalled the player, who left the track in what appeared to be a break to go to the bathroom ... But no. The camera followed him to the locker room, but the player did not get there. He passed a security door and in the hall destroyed the two rackets in his hand. He returned to the track as if nothing and lost the third and final set 6-2, insulting the judge and leaving without shaking hands.
