Kyrgios fined for Shanghai outburst

Nick Kyrgios has been fined for a foul-mouthed outburst at the Shanghai Masters, pushing the Australian closer to a potential four-week ban.

According to reports, Kyrgios was heard calling the tournament a "circus" and complaining about the ball kids during his win over Andreas Haider-Maurer.

The 20-year-old was fined $1,500 (£984) and could trigger a 28-day ban if he incurs $5,000 in fines before February.

It was his second code violation warning in a week.

The world number 32 will face a one-month ban if he receives another fine for verbal or physical misconduct, with the penalty stemming from the suspended ban he received for a sexual comment about Stan Wawrinka's girlfriend during a match in August.
