Nick Kyrgios accuses ATP of being "quite corrupt"

• Controversy: Kyrgios attacks Nadal again to respond to the ATP fine

Friend of getting into any controversy, Nick Kyrgios accused the ATP of being "quite corrupt" when asked about the fine imposed on him in the Cincinnatti tournament a couple of weeks ago. When asked about the sanction, the Australian attacked the body and wanted to focus on the US Open, where he will face the Frenchman Antoine Hoang in the second round.

Kyrgios was the center of attention in mid-August on the fourth day of the Cincinnati Masters 1,000 tournament because, beyond being eliminated in the second round, he again exhibited bad behavior on the track, so he was fined by the ATP. In his match against the Russian Karen Khachanov his temper led him to break rackets, deliberately lost time, improperly interacted with the fans, and even spit at the end to the judge of the party chair, which cost him a fine imposed by the ATP of $ 113,000 .

Asked about these circumstances in New York, after winning in the first round of the US Open to American Steve Johnson in three sets in a large exhibition at the Louis Armonstrong Stadium, Kyrgios replied: "The ATP is quite corrupt anyway, so no I'm worried about that. "

"Why were I fined $ 113,000? Why are we talking about something that happened three weeks ago when I beat someone in the first round of the US Open?" The Australian tennis player asked a journalist who asked him about this matter in the usual press conference after the game.

At the moment, the ATP has declined to comment on the matter after hearing Kyrgios' statements.
