KYRGIOS PUTS HIS FOOT IN IT

- KIERAN GILL

NICK KYRGIOS was given a crash course in the foot-fault rule yesterday by umpire James Keothavong. The hot-headed Australian was called for a fault during his straight-sets win over Robin Hasse and said: ‘What? After I hit it? How’s that possible?’ To laughter from the Court 3 crowd, Keothavong told Kyrgios: ‘That’s what he has to do. He can’t call it before you hit it.’ Kyrgios sought further clarificat­ion and Keothavong got down from his chair to explain. Kyrgios also received a code violation for an audible obscenity during his win over Hasse.
