Tennis’s “bad boy” Nick Kyrgios earned a $7,500 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct during his round two U.S. Open match on Wednesday.
Although the Australian beat France’s Benjamin Bonzi’s in four sets, he showed some frustration on the court during the match. He used a profanity towards someone in the audience at one point. Later in the match, Kyrgios yelled at someone in his player’s box, telling the person to be more supportive or leave.
During the second set, Kyrgios argued with the chair umpire, Jaume Campistol, complaining that he could smell marijuana smoke in the stadium, even dropping an explicative picked up by the broadcast.
