Australian Nick Kyrgios unleashed a tirade on tennis as a "one-sided" and "destroyed" game Tuesday amid his fourth-round triumph at the ATP and WTA Miami Open.
The 20-year-old from Canberra crushed 51st-positioned Russian Andrey Kuznetsov 7-6 (7/3), 6-3 to end up the principal Aussie in the Miami quarter-finals since Lleyton Hewitt's 2002 semi-last run.
Be that as it may, a question flared in the main set after seat umpire Cedric Mourier called a code infringement against Kyrgios for swatting a ball hurled his way by a ballperson into the stands.
On the following changeover, Kyrgios told the umpire his activity wasn't purposeful and said a star player, for example, 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal would not have been gotten out for the same activity.
"Any other individual, as Rafa did that, you would keep it cool," Kyrgios said.
"This amusement is one-sided as anything. All of you know it too. It's one-sided as poo, this diversion. What else has it got the chance to stow away? It's destroyed. Completely destroyed."
After the match, Kyrgios said just that he remained by the remarks.
Kyrgios, the most youthful player positioned in the ATP main 30 at 26th, will confront Canadian twelfth seed Milos Raonic on Thursday for a semi-last billet.
Off to a profession best 13-3 begin that incorporates his first ATP title a month ago at Marseille, Kyrgios has a reputation of making rotten comments.
A year ago he drew verging on cover judgment all through the tennis world for offensive comments about Stan Wawrinka's adolescent sweetheart amid a match against the Swiss star in Montreal.
