Australian Nick Kyrgios has been fined $25,000 for nearly hitting a ball boy after smashing his racket and yelling an audible obscenity during his Indian Wells loss to Rafa Nadal earlier this month, the governing body ATP said on Friday (Mar 25).
The calls are growing for the ATP Tour to take a stronger stance on player behaviour. Alexander's Zverev's eight-week suspended ban and £19,000 fine for attacking an umpire's chair with his racquet at the Mexican Open was largely deemed to be extremely lenient. There was also surprise that Nick Kyrgios was not punished for very nearly injuring a ball boy when he smashed his racquet on the court after losing to Rafael Nadal at Indian Wells.
Jenson Brooksby came under fire when he accidentally hit a ball boy with his racket during his Miami Open first-round victory over Federico Coria. The Argentine called for his opponent to be defaulted after recent similar incidents involving Nick Kyrgios and Alexander Zverev, but he only received a point penalty and went on to win.
Top tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou has expressed his unhappiness with 'everybody jumping' on Alexander Zverev and said 'it was a bit too much'. The world No. 3 was handed the maximum fine by the ATP following his vicious reaction at the Mexican Open as he struck Alessandro Germani’s chair several times with his racquet after his doubles defeat alongside Marcelo Melo against Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara.
Daniil Medvedev will try to reclaim the world number one ranking and top seed Aryna Sabalenka chases her first final in 10 months at the ATP and WTA Miami Open.
Daniil Medvedev will try to reclaim the world number one ranking and top seed Aryna Sabalenka chases her first final in 10 months at the ATP and WTA Miami Open. Men's play starts Wednesday and women's play begins Tuesday in the hardcourt tournament at Hard Rock Stadium, where highest seeds receive first-round byes. Serbia's Novak Djokovic moved into the top spot of the rankings this week, bumping out reigning US Open champion Medvedev after a three-week stay following his third-round exit at Indian Wells. The 26-year-old Russian, runner-up at the past two Australian Opens, would return to the top spot with a semi-final run at Miami. Medvedev only reached his first Miami quarter-final last year, when he lost to Roberto Bautista Agut, so a last-four spot would mark a best-ever run in Miami.
La Armada avanza con paso firme en el ranking mundial de la ATP. Tras todo lo vivido en Indian Wells, no sorprende. El duelo entre Rafa Nadal y Carlos Alcaraz, en semifinales del Masters 1000 estadounidense, es el mejor ejemplo del excepcional estado de salud del tenis español, . El pasado y el presente son grandiosos; el futuro, que ya está aquí, promete estar a la altura. El balear y el prodigio de El Palmar son, tanto en las sensaciones como en los números, los líderes del brillante elenco, pero no están solos. En el desierto californiano, también ha brillado Jaume Munar. Cuesta apreciarlo cuando se echa un vistazo rápido al cuadro final del torneo, pero salta a la vista al verle jugar. Y la clasificación por puntos se lo recompensa.
A ballboy was nearly hit by Nick Kyrgios' flying racquet after the Australian hurled it at the ground following his quarterfinal loss to Rafael Nadal at Indian Wells. Kyrgios lost 7-6 (7/0), 4-7, 6-4 to Nadal and after shaking hands with the Spaniard proceeded to smash his racquet on the ground but it rebounded and flew towards a ballboy, who dodged it just in the nick of time. The video of the incident quickly went viral on social media. The Australian later shared a screenshot of his text messages where he apologised to the ballboy and promised to give him a racquet.
