Kyrgios Disqualified As Federer, Nadal, Djokovic Advance In Rome

Australia’s Nick Kyrgios returns the ball to Russia’s Daniil Medvedev during their ATP Masters tournament tennis match at the Foro Italico in Rome on May 14, 2019. Andreas SOLARO / AFPAustralian firebrand Nick Kyrgios was disqualified from the Italian Open after an expletive-laden rant on Thursday as defending champion Rafael Nadal swept into the third round along with top seed Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.

World number 36 Kyrgios had levelled the match at one set all but was given a game penalty early on in the third set for swearing.His response was to kick out at a water bottle before throwing a chair onto the court, packing his bag and then storming off court, shouting I am fucking done’’ All three are in action again later in the day to make up time after play was washed out on Wednesday.

“Like any other practice day when you play twice a day, you finish the first session, take a shower, eat something, relax, get ready for the next one,” said the 20-time Grand Slam winner. Austrian Thiem complained competitors were left hanging around during the rain-impacted day 24 hours earlier.
