Kyrgios fined for lewd act

- By JONATHAN VEAL

Nick Kyrgios has been fined €15,000 (£13,190) after an obscene action involving a water bottle at Queen’s on Saturday.

The Australian, who is no stranger to controvers­y, was caught on camera performing an imitation of a lewd act at the change of ends during his semi-final loss to Marin Cilic.

He has been handed a hefty sanction by the ATP Tour for “inappropri­ate behaviour”.

Kyrgios had entertaine­d the crowds during his run to the Fever-tree Championsh­ips semi-final as he beat Andy Murray and Kyle Edmund. During his win over Edmund the BBC was forced to apologise to viewers after a string of Kyrgios expletives were audible on air, to which the Australian said he “did not care”.
