ATP Considering 'Major Offense' for Nick Kyrgios After 'Corrupt' Comment
NEW YORK — The ATP tennis tour is considering whether to punish Nick Kyrgios for a "major offense" after he called the organization "corrupt" because it fined him more than $100,000 for his behavior during a match last month.
A tour spokesman issued a statement Wednesday saying that Gayle Bradshaw, the ATP's executive vice president for rules and competition, would determine what to do about Kyrgios' comments made at the U.S. Open.
The 2019 ATP Rule Book says a "major offense" may be punished by a fine of up to the amount of prize money won at a tournament and a suspension of up to a year.
