Nick Kyrgios starts his US Open campaign, Kyrgios’ style.
In the first round against Bedene, the Australian managed to fight with the chair umpire in the opening game after receiving a code violation for hitting a ball in anger too close to a linesman.
Still upset for the episode, after winning the match 6-4 6-4 6-4, Kyrgios refused the handshake with the umpire; Nick told him:” “You have one job to do, bro. Unbelievable.”
Disrespecting a linesman
After that, in the second set, Kyrgios ran into a linesman to drop an f-bomb
“He’s standing there, why does he not f—ing move?” Kyrgios commented. “He knows I’m running; he just stands there. That’s why you can’t have guys [aged] 80-plus being umpires.”
Next vs. Zeballos
Nick will play Zeballos in the next round for the first time. Expect more antics.
