Tennis News: Nick Kyrgios once again in the midst of controversy

Australian firebrand Nick Kyrgios is disqualified after a foul-mouthed rant during his third-round match against Norway's Casper Ruud which could land him with a lengthy suspension. The 24 year old Aussie was in the deciding set when he was given a game penalty, reportedly for swearing, to trail 2-1. He then kicked a bottle, threw down his racquet, hurled a chair on the court, picked up his bag and walked off. Kyrgios was fined 20,000 euros for unsportsmanlike conduct and also lost his prize money.In addition to the prize money of £29,366, he forfeited the 45 ranking points gained during the tournament and was told to cover the costs of his hospitality.
