Initially, it was Max Purcell and Matthew Ebden who were most upset as they complained to the umpire about being distracted while trying to make a return. Then Kyrgios had a second wind and decided to take action.

The fiery Canberra star walked over and pointed out the fan before demanding that security escort him out of the stadium. «Get him out! Get him out!» yelled Kyrgios, appearing to be joined by the other three players on the court. While the fan, sporting a mullet, attempted to plead his case and remain in his seat for the conclusion of a historic day's tennis, he was promptly hauled out, along with his two companions.
