Kyrgios was already suspended by the ATP Tour in 2016 for "tanking" a match and insulting fans during a loss at the Shanghai Masters. Kyrgios was also fined 20,000 Euros for the three unsportsmanlike conduct penalties he received during the match and must cover the cost of his hospitality during the tournament, the ATP said.
In 2015, Kyrgios insulted Stan Wawrinka with crude remarks during a match in Montreal. He was fined $12,500 and given a suspended 28-day ban. He also attracted criticism for deciding not to play at the Olympics because of a spat with an Australian team official, and for firing back at retired players who have offered advice.RETIREMENT: David Ferrer's tennis career at Madrid Open
