Tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios was levied a six-figure fine and could face a suspension after his latest equipment-destroying, profanity-spewing, umpire-degrading meltdown.

Kyrgios was fined $113,000 on Thursday, BBC reported, for “five separate examples of unsportsmanlike conduct, one of verbal abuse, an audible obscenity and for leaving the court unauthorised” during a second-round loss to Karen Khachanov the night prior at the Cincinnati Masters. The ATP Tour will consider an additional suspension or fine under the Player Major Offense section of its code.

The mercurial Australian talent came unglued over the course of the match, repeatedly berating umpire Fergus Murphy and at one point leaving the court to smash two of his rackets.

After the post-match handshake with Khachanov, Kyrgios turned toward Murphy and said, “You’re a f–king tool, bro,” before appearing to spit in the umpire’s direction.

Kyrgios first confronted Murphy late in the second set, accusing the official of starting the shot clock too early.

“The worst f–king ref ever, the worst ref in the game,” Kyrgios shouted at the top of his lungs, per news.com.au. “The worst, hands down. Every time I play he’s doing some stupid s–t, every time.”

According to a reporter courtside, Kyrgios also said, “Why do I have to put up with this potato in the chair?” Murphy is Irish.

Kyrgios eventually was issued a point penalty at the end of the second-set tiebreak for the repeated verbal abuse. The 24-year-old then left the court for what he called a bathroom break, despite protests from Murphy. TV cameras showed Kyrgios not using the bathroom, but rather smashing his rackets in the tunnel.

Kyrgios has a history of conflict with Murphy — though that is far from the extent of his abusive on-court antics.

Murphy endured a expletive-filled rant from Kyrgios at the Queen’s Club tournament in June, and they clashed again two weeks ago at the Washington Open, which Kyrgios went on to win.

Kyrgios was defaulted after throwing a chair during a match three months ago in Rome, and had a run-in with another umpire over a towel last week in Montreal. He has been scrutinized in the past over his effort level, often appearing to tank matches that aren’t going his way, and was suspended for it in late 2016. And who could forget the infamous “banged your girlfriend” taunt he directed at Stan Wawrinka in 2015.

“He has a really great talent, but sometimes the head not in the right place,” Khachanov said Tuesday following his 6-7(3) 7-6(4) 6-2 win, according to Agence France-Presse. “It’s really tough (playing Kyrgios), not only for me but for everybody. You have to try and handle it, then you can have chances to win the match.”

If Kyrgios, ranked No. 27 in the world, faces sanctions from the ATP Tour for this most recent outburst, it would not necessarily apply to the next grand slam, the US Open, which begins Aug. 26 in Queens.
