Holger Rune insists he is not the 'bad boy' of tennis ahead of the Italian Open. The Dane was caught up in controversy at the Madrid Open which saw him get reprimanded by umpire Carlos Bernardes. Ad He has also had a running dispute with Stan Wawrinka which began at the end of last year.
John McEnroe believes Holger Rune is «developing a reputation» with some of his behaviour, but the Dane is a «threat» to challenge at the French Open. The 20-year-old incurred the wrath of the crowd in the Spanish capital after a controversial line call and the events which followed. Ad Davidovich Fokina disagreed with a call made by the electronic line call and disputed the decision with umpire Carlos Bernardes and an ATP supervisor.
Andy Murray’s return to clay ended in a swift defeat to Alex de Minaur in the first round of the Monte Carlo Masters. The 35-year-old, who skipped all but one tournament of 2022’s clay court swing, including the French Open, was blown away 6-1, 6-3 by the Australian in Monaco.
As soon as Brazilian umpire Carlos Bernardes stepped on to the court on 29 March, he knew it was going to be a difficult morning in the chair. It was the Miami Open 2022 and he’d been assigned the last-16 clash between the young Italian player Jannik Sinner and the Australian Nick Kyrgios. From the start, Kyrgios was on edge, muttering about the slow conditions on court. At 4-4 in the first set, Kyrgios made a good return on Sinner’s serve, only for noise from Bernardes’s walkie-talkie to loudly interrupt play. Bernardes called for the point to be replayed. “You should be fired on the spot,” Kyrgios yelled at him. “How is that possible? How is that possible! The fourth round of Miami, one of the biggest tournaments, and you guys just can’t do your job.”
Emma Raducanu has been heralded as an "effective" character in women's tennis by a retired pro. Former world No 4 Anke Huber admitted that a personality like Nick Kyrgios wasn't needed to attract fans to the WTA Tour, admitting the 19-year-old Brit was better for representation of the sport.
The ATP Tour has warned elite tennis stars over the increasing frequency of incidents regarding on-court behaviour, including recent high-profile cases involving Nick Kyrgios and Alexander Zverev. ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi has sent a circular to the Tour's players over regular 'unsportsmanlike conduct' at the start of the 2022 season.
Nick Kyrgios has been fined $47,000 for his behaviour during a fourth-round loss to Jannik Sinner at the Miami Open.
Nick Kyrgios has been handed a $35,000 (£26,644) fine for his unruly behaviour at the Miami Open that saw him shout abuse at an umpire and smash his racket.
