MONTREAL — Australian Nick Kyrgios has been fined $10,000 and may face further punishment for the insulting comment he directed at Swiss Stan Wawrinka during a match at the Rogers Cup, the ATP said on Thursday.
Kyrgios took to Twitter and Facebook to apologise for the incident but it did not stop the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) from issuing the maximum fine allowed for such an offence.
And the matter may not be done, as the ATP has not ruled out further action against Kyrgios.
"Nick Kyrgios has been fined the maximum on site amount of $10,000 (6,405 pounds) for an insulting comment he made to Stan Wawrinka," an ATP said in a statement.
