WATCH: Kyrgios risks heavy fine with childish antics at Wimbledon

It was the code violation for an “audible obscenity” that seemed to spark the petulance from Kyrgios, who was a break down when Keothavong warned him over his coarse language.

Nick Kyrgios risks a heavy fine after going into a sulk and appearing to stop trying during his Wimbledon fourth-round match against Richard Gasquet.

The 20-year-old Australian downed tools early in the second set of the clash on Court Two, where he also was given a ticking off for swearing and rowed with British umpire James Keothavong over a change of socks.
