Kyrgios Penalized for Obscenity at Inopportune Time
Nick Kyrgios
was given an ill-timed point penalty for a code violation during the second set of his 7-6(4), 7-5 loss to
Albert Ramos-Vinolas
at Indian Wells on Saturday. The No. 24 seed had already been given a warning for knocking a ball out of the stadium earlier in the match, and when a linesperson believed he heard Kyrgios mutter an obscenity after Ramos-Vinolas saved a break point, he sauntered over to umpire Damien Dumusois to report it.
“Obviously I didn't say anything,” Kyrgios told reporters after the match. “You know, I'm the first person if I do something wrong that I will speak up if I did it. It was a pretty crucial time. I was obviously struggling out there.”
See the video above to get the whole scene.
Ramos-Vinolas would save the remaining break points and hold serve.
“I was trying to just fight and hang in,” Kyrgios said. “I created chances. I'm not going to say that contributed to the loss or anything like that, but definitely didn't really help in the second set, for sure.”
Other early winners on Saturday at Indian Wells were 8th-seeded
Richard Gasquet
, 26th-seeded
Alexandr Dolgopolov
, 12th-seeded
Milos Raonic
and
Federico Delbonis
.
Tomas Berdych
ended Juan Martin del Potro’s trop to the desert by defeating him in straight sets, 7-6(4), 6-2.
