MONTREAL — Australian Nick Kyrgios has been issued two separate fines and could be suspended for insulting Swiss opponent Stan Wawrinka and a ball person during a match at the Rogers Cup, the ATP said on Thursday.
After his incendiary remark towards Wawrinka was detected by a courtside microphone during their second-round match on Wednesday, Kyrgios took to Twitter and Facebook to apologize for the incident but it did not stop the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) from taking quick action.
"Nick Kyrgios has been fined the maximum on site amount of $10,000 for an insulting comment he made to Stan Wawrinka," an ATP spokesperson said in a statement on Thursday.
