Nick Kyrgios , who remains under the magnifying glass of the ATP for his repeated bad behavior, starred in a new controversy this Thursday. On this occasion his verbal adversary was the Norwegian Casper Ruud and his medium, far from the courts, was the social network Twitter.

After Ruud offered an interview to the Swedish portal Tennisportalen

and that he spoke about his encounter until Kyrgios in May at the 1000 Masters in Rome, the Australian could not help answering. In that game, Kyrgios was expelled for throwing a chair to the court and then criticized Ruud for his way of winning.

In his interview Ruud commented that Kyrgios is "completely crazy" and that day "he behaved like an idiot." The Australian's reply was swift.

"Hello, Ruud, the next time you have to tell me something, I would be grateful if you would tell me in the face. I am sure that after that you would not talk so much again," Kyrgios tweeted, who did not stay there.

"Until then, I prefer to see how the paint dries on the wall to see you play your boring tennis," added the Australian who finished with another message: "I also understand why you have to talk about me: people don't even know you play to tennis. Anyway, good luck in Milan. "

After years and years of controversy, last August Kyrgios received a penalty of $ 113,000 for his behavior at the Cincinnati ATP and then re-created problems at the US Open that he described as "a corrupt competition." Then he received a penalty of 16 weeks and $ 25,000 that remained in stand by for six months waiting to observe the behavior of the tennis player. If it improved, it would be canceled. If I were to star in a mess again, it would be final.

As it happened, Kyrgios could be suspended at any time. In number 30 of the world ranking, the player was selected by Australia to play the Davis Cup to be held in Madrid next month.
