It seems like nothing is going in Kyrgios’ way on and off the court. Earlier, Kyrgios was handed a suspension for 16-week and £20,300 fine by the ATP following his controversial behavior at the 2019 Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati.

However, the 16-week ban will be only implemented if Nick Kyrgios receives any further code violations that result in a fine for any kind of verbal and physical abuse of officials or fans on the court. Nick Kyrgios will have to stay away from any other unsportsmanlike conduct and expletive with any other tennis officials over the next six months in order to avoid the contingent ban.
