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.”

That investigation opens up the possibility of further penalties which could include additional monetary fines and/or suspension from ATP events.
