"Bro" said an unimpressed Kyrgios as spectators yelled at Zhu to sit down and a man in the crowd tried to pull him down. A professional pest with two million Facebook fans, Zhu regularly uploads similar videos on YouTube, including a series of videos where he touches strangers' legs on public transport. Zhu uploaded a slick video of the heckling with Channel Seven footage to Facebook on Wednesday night where it had been viewed more than one million times by Thursday morning. "I just thought of a really funny thing to do for a video and it's pretty f---ing next level," Zhu laughed earlier on on Wednesday. He later boasted about the prank outside Hisense Arena after being ejected by security. "You guys might have just seen me on TV. I've just been evicted. I think that was the greatest thing I've ever done in my life."

Zhu then approached an Australian Open employee to ask if he'd heard of his "sex noise" exploits. He hadn't. "Excuse me sir, were you watching the Kyrgios game just then?" he asked the man. "No." "Some idiot made a massive sex noise in the Kyrgios game, he was doing it for like 40 seconds," Zhu continued. "No idea mate."

"Did you hear it though?" "No." "What do you think about some idiot in the stadium, he disrupted the whole match. He made a massive sex noise. How immature." The video has divided his followers, with most people describing it as a "very disrespectful" and "pathetic" attempt to garner fame off the back of Kyrgios.

"Absolutely pathetic, such moments of stupidity could cost a world class tennis player momentum which could have major implications," wrote one commentator. "Dude this isn't even close to being funny," wrote another. "These tennis players have invested huge amounts of time/attention, blood, sweat and probably tears to their sport, and you're there acting like a monkey. Stupid. Not funny." On Facebook, the critics kept coming. "What an absolute flog ... not one person laughed or thought it was amusing. The best thing would have been the Aussie king hit from behind and watch him tumble over the side." Kyrgios was also forced to contend with other distractions during the match. A broken chair umpire microphone and noisy helicopter hovering overhead got the 22-year-old and his Serbian opponent Viktor Troicki hot under the collar.
