Nick Kyrgios walks off court after losing first set at Shanghai Masters
• Player branded umpire ‘a joke’ and told camp he would stop if he lost first set
• Australian No 1 apologises to fans for quitting match, saying he was injured
Nick Kyrgios has apologised to fans after quitting his first-round match at the Shanghai Masters, insisting it was because of injury rather a row with the umpire that saw him receive two warnings.
Tennis officials told Australian Associated Press there was “an ongoing investigation” after Kyrgios stormed off the court after losing the first set 7-6 (7-5) in a tiebreaker to Steve Johnson, in apparent protest against the umpiring of Irishman Fergus Murphy.
