Nick Kyrgios put on a show for the fans, who apparently were just there to watch him.
The temperamental Australian tennis star had another one of his epic meltdowns in a 7-6, 6-3 loss to Jannik Sinner at the Miami Open on Tuesday.
“When everyone in that crowd is booing an umpire, and he’s becoming the center of attention, that’s not his job,” Kyrgios said. “Because no one in that entire stadium bought a ticket to see him talk or play or do what he does.”“You’ve got Jannik Sinner who is one of our greatest stars and, not to toot my horn, the majority of people are there to watch me play. And you have a guy talking while I was 40-0 up. He was talking.
That’s when Bernardes issued the game penalty, putting Kyrgios down a break before the second set even started, and Sinner kept the lead the rest of the way.“Some of the circus that was today!” Kyrgios wrote over a video of the action posted on his Instagram Story. “Great umpiring and court at a master 1000 . All I said to get a point penalty was that my friend could do the job of the umpire. He said his feelings got hurt. Hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. GET NEW UMPIRES.
