Kyrgios shouting in pain after his fall
Kyrgios raised a few eyebrows when he slipped during the fifth set.

The Aussie screamed in pain, “Ah, f***’,” as he slipped at the backline. However, the World No60 was back on his feet and continued in some fashion to win the match.
Just yesterday, Kyrgios was complaining about the grass on the court, calling it a joke.
