Kyrgios courts trouble again
Nick Kyrgios fired another verbal volley at Wimbledon officials on Wednesday following his fine after shouting "dirty scum" in a row with umpire Mohamed Lahyani in his first round match.
The 20-year-old Australian started off by grumbling about the hot weather and his own performance, saying: "Every time I bend over, I feel like I'm gonna pass out" and then "I can't make a ball, I can't make a ball, I can't do anything right now."
Then Kyrgios snapped angrily to a line judge saying: "Is that a threat? Does it feel good to be in the chair up there? Do you feel strong up there?"
Kyrgios wasn't finished and he told the line judge: "You're a real champion. Did you get your point across?"
It isn't the first time Kyrgios has fallen foul of the officials at a major event. He received four fines totalling $11,000 at the Australian Open in January after shouting at one spectator to "get off your fucking phone", while berating some others for sneaking out halfway through his fourth round match.
