The ATP has announced that Nick Kyrgios has been fined the on-site maximum of US$10,000 for an insulting comment he made to Stan Wawrinka during their second-round match at the Rogers Cup in Montreal, Canada.

 

Following a review of video from the match the ATP has also issued an additional fine of US$2,500 for Unsportsmanlike Conduct related to a comment made to a ball person during the match.

 

In addition, Kyrgios has been served with a “Notice of Investigation” which begins a process to determine if his actions also constitute a violation of the Player Major Offence provisions set forth under “Aggravated Behavior” or “Conduct Contrary to the Integrity of the Game.”
