Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios may be fresh off his best performance at a tennis major – a finals appearance at Wimbledon – but his on-court antics are here to stay. 

Kyrgios, playing in the second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday against Benjamin Bonzi of France, complained to the umpire of the smell of marijuana coming from the crowd and was issued a warning for swearing at someone in his box for not being supported enough during the match.

Kyrgios complained about the smell, and the chair umpire suggested that he could be smelling food.

"Obviously, I’m not going to complain about food smells," Kyrgios responded, according to USA Today. "Obviously, not."

The umpire did jump on the microphone to ask the crowd to "refrain yourselves from smoking on the court."

Kyrgios went on to win the match 7-6 (3), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, telling reporters after the second-round win that he’s asthmatic.

"People don’t know. I’m a heavy asthmatic," Kyrgios said following the match. "So, when I’m running side to side and I’m struggling to breathe already, probably not something I want to be breathing in in between points."
