Kyrgios Falls, Day After Insulting Wawrinka During Match

MONTREAL — Nick Kyrgios tumbled out of the Rogers Cup on Thursday night, falling to John Isner a day after insulting French Open champion Stan Wawrinka during a match.

The 16th-seeded Isner beat Kyrgios 7-5, 6-3 in the third-round match.

On Wednesday night, a courtside microphone picked up Kyrgios saying that fellow Australian player Thanasi Kokkinakis had slept with a player who is reportedly Wawrinka's girlfriend.

The ATP fined Nick Kyrgios $10,000 on Thursday, the maximum fine allowed by the ATP rule book for incidents of verbal abuse or unsportsmanlike conduct.

Also, the ATP fined Kyrgios an additional $2,500 for unsportsmanlike conduct related to a comment made to a ball person during the match.
