Nick Kyrgios has made his way back in hot water after he was seen performing an imitation of a lewd act at the change of ends during his Queen’s semi-final loss to Marin Cilic on Saturday. The 23-year-old has been handed a hefty sanction of £13,190 ($17,500) by the ATP Tour for ‘inappropriate behavior’ during his 7-6, 7-6 loss.

Kyrgios, who has been dogged by accusations of tanking in the past, had already been in trouble earlier in the week during his Queen’s win over Britain’s Kyle Edmund. The 23-year-old was caught swearing after the second round win against Edmund at the Queen’s club. 

The BBC was forced to apologize to viewers after a string of Kyrgios expletives were audible on air. Asked if he was concerned that the BBC had to issue an apology for his behavior, Kyrgios said he “didn’t care”.
