According to the ATP players' association, the fine consists of $20,000 for "verbal insult", $10,000 for two unsportsmanlike conduct and $5,000 for "audible obscenity".

In his round of 16 defeat against the Italian Jannik Sinner, the 26- year-old Kyrgios insulted chair referee Carlos Bernardes extensively and smashed his racket.

It was only at the beginning of March that he was asked to pay $ 25,000 after his quarter-finals in Indian Wells against Rafael Nadal for various misconduct. After the match, he almost hit a ball boy with a racquet throw.
