Nick Kyrgios to escape punishment over suggestions he didn’t try at Wimbledon

Nick Kyrgios is set to escape punishment regarding suggestions that he failed to try during his fourth-round defeat by Richard Gasquet.

He has been fined $2,000 (£1,295) for an audible obscenity during that match along with another $7,500 (£4,860) for unsportsmanlike conduct when bouncing his racket during his round-three victory over Milos Raonic – making a total $9,500 (£6,000) – but has escaped a possible $20,000 (£12,860) fine for not trying in a match.

His contest with Gasquet was particularly colourful, the Frenchman prevailing in four sets, the second of which Kyrgios lost 6-1 and at times appeared uninterested.
