After the incident at the “fifth grand slam” in Indian Wells, when he almost hit a ball collector with a racket after Rafael Nadal’s match, Kyrgios performed again at the next Masters event in the USA. After losing in the round of 16 in Miami with the Italian Jannik Sinner, he sharply and repeatedly criticized the judge and also cursed loudly vulgarly. He destroyed the missile again.
“I don’t think I’ve done anything to fine me now,” Kyrgios said after the Miami elimination. He was convinced that the referee Carlos Bernardes overlooked the inappropriate behavior of the spectators during the match. “And he’s not in danger of it. He’s done a horrible performance and they won’t even slap him,” he added after losing to Sinner 6: 7 and 3: 6.
